How to make monkey babies and what do stranger monkey wants and how to get off little ones?
Game has so many design flaws so i have no clue what stranger monkey wants, i tried to give them everything i could find, they dont get anything from and keeo crying or whatever they do. What should i do to make them join me?

Also my primary monkey is pretty beaten up and will die soon, i want this monkey to make a baby to save evolution progress. How?

And how can i get off babies from one monkey and place them on another?

Oh, btw, how does cover points in a middle of forest work? should i just sleep on them or get inside somehow or build a bed on them? are they safe from atacks for real?

Often monkies show what they want through an action, Often just crack open a coconut and give it to them, if they keep clutching their heads....

Make Babies by finding male and female that says "Fertile" And do what monkeys do....

Babies will climb off you if you go to the nest and click drop child

Use the HELP screens, that's why they're there.

Stranger monkeys need different things, look for signs, some need food, some need horsetail healing plant, some need an opened coconut, some just need comfort.
You should change to a younger one often as they die of old age, approach another one, analyse it and then choose switch.
To get babies off go to bed and it will let you choose to drop them, if they are on another one, change into that one and then drop them, then change back to your preferred one and pick them up.

have not seen explaination of that there, it tells things briefly, not going into much of details how to do that.

How exactly should i do it? i saw fertile, i only had option to grooming, where is option to bang? should i do something else besides grooming to unlock this option?

Holding their arm means they have a broken bone, so horsetail, holding stomach will need berries as it is hungry, holding head needs an opened coconut I think. I have only had comfort once, that was the easiest.
You need to groom a partner til it says couple formed, then go to your bed and it will say call mate, then it will say mate.

ooooh so they have gesttures which are hard to see thanks to camera and lenvironment, and i need to go to bed and call... im pretty sure this was not explained in tutorial.

To make a baby you must groom one of the other monkeys that both are fertile and aren't family related, it's just like altering an item, let go of the button when the prompt appears, once you've done that "Couple Formed" should appear on screen, then you go to a bed and call your mate over, then you can mate and give birth.
If the monkey is crying try to comfort it, Im not 100% but i think it's just like grooming.
To switch monkeys you can highlight another in your tribe and then press the button it says to switch, if you want to gain neuronal energy make sure to place your babies down at the bed first and go back and pick them up after switching. Fun tip, if you switch to one of the elders you will not have to conquer the fear zones, but you will have lower stats in general, and wont get the conquered fear X amount of times evolution leaps.
The hide spots are not safe for adults, they are for if you die are carrying babies, where you will have to find and hide in one as the baby and come back as an adult to pick them back up (Just like the tutorial), once a baby is inside the hide spot it is completely safe until you remove it, i dont know what happens if you change generation while its in there though. If you're looking for a safe spot to sleep, any branch with a flat spot is safe, although tricky to get the first twig to stay, some rocks are safe as well but others still let predators up so keep that in mind when waking up, you may have to dodge quickly.

btw does baby grow over time naturally and monkey getting old, ot its done sims and spore way there some time shift happens suddently? or it only will happen after forced generation leap which is like time skip???

my in game life time is just about week so i dont know how it all will work

When you do a Generation advance all babies become adults, adults become elders, and elders die.

The only aging taking place in real time is you lowering your primate's life expectancy by ignoring their needs or getting them hurt.

does monkeys i didnt manually pair, making babies on their own with generation leap or i should make them all mate and bang before leap? and can one male bang many females in group like it happened in reality or it only allowing to pair one male with one female?

also would monkey get pregnant and give a birth without generation leap???

You have to control your primates and make them mate (they won't mate on their own).

A male can mate with as many females as you want but remember all the kids will be related when they grow up and won't mate.

Using elder males to mate with adult females is a good way to increase the clan's DNA diversity.

You need to manually pair (or at least manually mate) apes to get babies. They won't do it on their own. And you can't mate with a related ape, so you want to let other apes father babies as well. (If you examine an ape, it tells who who the parents are, and if the ape is related to your currently controlled ape). I think ape cousins can mate, but ape siblings can't.

Once pregnant, you get an option to give birth. Time will advance (About 15 months), but it doesn't count as a generation leap.

thats not very realistic, in reality related apes bang each other when group is small and not much strangers around exist, incest as taboo appeared not so long ago in human society and even a lot of european elite violated it few centruies ago and married their cousins, and its known fact that whenever groups of people getting small and isolated they can only survive by doing that with close relatives... and we basically have small and isolated group of apes far from being human in this game, so they should not have such restrictions as modern humans, as monkey should not understand yet how inbreeding could cause genetic problems.

Game should have played this different way like bad mutations getting worse after that, (for example bleeding and bone breaking gets more dangerous and easy to get, or like lifespan getting shorter after few generations of incest, and that only cure against that would be search for non related apes so that future generations genetic pool could be cleared out of this) and not restricting this, so player would have to choose - survive at any cost easily and grow numbers faster or explore more to find more unrelared apes, mechanics to find more unrelated monkeys to cure incest caused genetic flaws like weaker bones, faster and longer bleeding and some other disasadvantages would be really nice.

True, but you can't have everything and have it working too.
