how do the babes grow up?

[joakim]

They dont seem to age

Advance evolution. Sleep on a bed, open evolution tab, zoom out slightly to the generation tab and you'll be prompt to advance to the next gen.

You can go one step further and advance years into the future too, you'll spawn somewhere randomly with an established settlement, generations ahead.

Be careful about advancing though.
Any skills you don't reinforce become inactive and you need to spend energy to reactivate them. You can reinforce 1 node for each baby in the clan so more is better. Once you advance the generation you can't gain energy till you've got some babies in the clan so no reactivating dormant skills.

[joakim]

so having many babies good or bad?

[LuckyN13]

Good.
They dont need to eat or drink, having 2 nearby babies grants more neurological energy

[joakim]

ok, but having a baby advances you a year, dont that kill all the grown apes?

[joakim]

after a few babes i mean

[Cougarific]

No.

[joakim]

because they get older?

[Cougarific]

I don't think the "15 months later" indication actually advances your clans' ages.

I've had four babies in a row - so, many years worth of pregnancies, and have never noticed my guy's life expectancy going down as a result of aging.

If it worked like this, having babies would be too punishing to the clan overall.

totally missed that I can advance in generation and evolution, Ive just been upgrading my neuronal
