Toddlers

• 1- and 2-year-old pawns are no longer completely passive objects
  
• toddlers cannot work, but can move around and interact with the world
  
• toddlers gain capabilities over time – configurable
  
• young toddlers are blocked by doors and can be confined to their cribs, but once they learn to walk they can also open doors and climb out of cribs
  
• toddlers can fill their play need on their own for a while, but still need regular adult interaction
  
• older toddlers can feed themselves if baby food is left where they can reach it

• no expectations
  
• configurable rate of fall for Play need
  
• babies are no longer made of antifreeze – configurable
  
• make baby clothes to protect your babies and toddlers from the elements

Toddlers can be grown in growth vats. They will improve at walking and manipulation (but not as fast, proportionally to their accelerated growth, as they would outside the vat). This is in addition to the normal effects of the vat.
If you have no pawns aged 1 or 2 years old, you do not have to do anything special. The mod will take effect automatically when babies hit 1 year old.

If you have 1- and 2- year olds, they will automatically turn into toddlers but they will not automatically receive the "learning to walk"/"learning manipulation" hediffs. To fix this:

1. Turn on Development Mode from the main menu.
   
2. You should see a row of new icons at the top of the screen. Choose Open Debug Actions Menu
   
3. In the search bar in the top left, type "toddler" (no quotation marks) to find the option "T: Reset Toddler Hediffs". Click on it.
   
4. While your mouse has the text "T: Reset Toddler Hediffs" next to it, click on all the toddlers that need the new hediffs. They can be a bit difficult to target. If you're having difficulty, try and catch them sleeping or otherwise not moving.
   
5. Note that toddlers older than about 2-and-2-quadrums may not have/need the hediffs as they've already finished learning both capacities.

• Facial Animation – compatible!
  
• More Than Capable -- MTC allows toddlers to equip (but seemingly not use) weapons, but otherwise appears compatible, let me know if you find issues
  
• Dubs Bad Hygiene -- compatible, working on further integration
  
• Celsius - known issues, the logic around moving toddlers to safe temperatures is confused by Celsius. You may or may not be able to get it working through careful use of allowed zones. A compatibility patch is on the to do list.
  
• Roofless Hulls reported INCOMPATIBLE
  
• Humanoid Alien Races -- effectively in beta! please do try it out and give feedback
  
• CONFLICT with Realistic Human Sounds blocking the toddler life stage. Put Toddlers below RHS in the load order (may not fix all issues) or do not use them together at this time. Compatibility fix is planned.
