How to get Martianborn?

Yea - i have over 200 Colonists but 0 Martianborn. Ialso got in every of my citizen-domes 1 nursery - but they dont multiply!

My colonies have no problem breeding. I tend to set them up as such: Middle dome has most of the population, usually having no other buildings than housing, screen so no seniors or children. All domes are connected with passages. The middle main population dome is connected to many other domes. I have a childrens dome, a seniors dome, a services dome, a factory dome, a farm dome, a research dome. Any dome with housing, including the children and seniors dome needs to be connected to the services dome (they could be connected on the backside of it).

Check comfort. If your citizens aren't comfortable enough, they won't have kids. Add bars, recreation, etc. An infirmary will reduce the minimum comfort needed to have kids.

My experience so far, having just started, I put an infirmary, small spacebar, and gym into my first dome, along with a housing complex and nursery. Even with all that, only one of the women were comfortable enough to have kids(along with 6 men who were interested). Not sure if that one happy woman had the Sexy trait, though a few of the female colonists certainly did, as did some of the men. Still took about 9-10 sols before a child was born; the Founding period had nearly expired on its own.

Colonists need to have a comfort of 65 in order to reproduce, 55 is there's a working infirmary in the dome (3 shifts). A grocer, diner, infirmary and park should be enough to get kids before the founder stage is over, once you have more colonists you'll need more services. You don't need nurseries to get kids, they can just live there.

What's necessary to get martianborn is the infirmary not the nursery...

Yeah, you need to raise comfort levels.. assuming you're not playing with some sort of mod that's screwing with your birth rate, or you haven't disabled births entirely in the dome's settings. Build service buildings that you're missing, especially medical ones. It's actually entirely possible to get martianborn within seconds of first landing, ending the founder period instantly.

Once you get them comfortable you'll quickly find that this game's true fault lies in rampant overpopulation.. they'll start having kids and won't stop until they're drowning in their own offspring and every dome is overpopulated until everyone is too uncomfortable to reproduce anymore.
