In my recent playthrough I managed to save two kids from the starving bandits and I accidentaly recruited them. They kinda slow down my caravan. Ehmmm... we need some kind of orphanage otherwise someone (not me) will continue "donating" kids... to the slavers... for their own... good (?)

SPOILER: Follow the road southeast from Shark to the edge of the Swamp and look for a 3 story shack next to a giant iron ring with guards outside.

Second.
I found retired slave trader in Shark. He said Ayko dead, but also he said i must go to the south or southeast. I dit it, but nothing. Anyone can help me?

I found a boy in port south, i talk with him, and i see an option "did you see a girl", "yes", "she is my daughter".
"What the fuck" did i think, and go search my doughter. Where i can found it?

OK, thank you.

DrWoggle - Sorry for the late response, I've been away from Kenshi modding for awhile. Yes, the Dust-Boys dialogue are intentional, I wanted to make children a bit more difficult to recruit in general. It was too easy before.

As for the cannibal child, they're basically just there for world-building, not exactly recruitable. And the lack of child for the endgame factions such as Reavers, Skeleton Bandits, etc. It simply 'cause (in my head canon) they already got killed, ran away, or the factions have no interest with child soldiers in the first place.

P.S. Fuli is not my creation, credit goes to Lawh for the original story content. I only add/rebalance stuff he made.

and another thing: in the original mod Dust-Boys had a talk-option so that they would join you. with this mod they just have the want-to-fight-dialouge, like some rare regular Dust-Bandits. is the join-me dialouge deleted or does it depend on reputation? (idk cus i just managed to go up to -1...)

i didn't come to meet cannibals with this playthrough yet. are cannibal kids recuitable? if not: wouldnt it be a nice adaption for some new story elements? you know? like: "Me p'rents 'bandond me 'cuz I only eat an'mal meat... Me no likes eatin' pe'ple..."
anyway: many (endgame) fractions still lack kids. good thing: drone kids are more common (0% ophrans in the original mod, very rare at slave markets, now it's better)

thank you!
Btw: Fuli is really cool & worth more than the 700c he offers.
anyway, i like this mod. good job.

He's the kid from Letter from a Swamper 2, check the Dancing Skeleton and buy that letter from the barman.

I found a boy fith 2 mechanical parts on him. he is called Fuli and is around with his bone dog in the hub. he asks for a letter. where do i get it?

@G0UD13 thanks for your information mate

UWE user here. Just chiming in to let any other UWE users know after playing for a few hours, this patch does indeed seem to be working with UWE.

nice im gonna put them in cages and sell them to perverts in the HN and UC

Thank you for the mod amazing work. I would also encourage the addition of children verions of UWE races if it's not too much work. Many of the UWE races are hivers from the Hiver Expanded mod. I also would encourage hiver princess child(link below) and I know it doesn't make logical sense, but I'd love to see a simple skeleton model too.

the uwe also have more species, as reptiloids, but in my case i play focused in hivers

@Nemús - In that case, I could implement them in a separate patch, because I don't want to force people to have UWE to use this mod.

@DaMagicBoy in the uwe exist two new hive colonies, the northern and the midland, they are red and brown

@Nemús - Southern hive children (or juveniles, as I call them) are already implemented, they spawn in villages and slave markets. As for UWE, I don't use it personally, so I don't know what to add there.

Its posible to add the hive childrens to the south hive and some to the UWE?

I have no idea why this comment section became a discussion board, but I wanna get things straight; If aging for humans was possible, someone would've done it ages ago.

Worse, a game year is only 100 days, so you have to go about 18 game years before you can't get by with just visiting the plastic surgeon to make your kid taller every so often. Mechanically characters can either age or talk but not both, and I'd MUCH rather have talking kids.

How many people have a PT that even goes one year of game time? Let alone enough years to justify the need for aging. How many no life this game?

I've heard aging cant be done for humans.

Man this is awesome, thanks for your hard work. For me I value realism as much as possible. I know it is difficult but if somehow aging from children to adult could be done it would be a total game changer and immersive as hell. In any case, thanks and love from Mexico

@The Man Who Bought The World - Well, as much as I'm against child slavery, it's actually part of the Kenshi lore. Also, it's literally impossible to age in Kenshi even with mods, so that's out of my control.

Now make it so that they can grow up to adult versions, so you can say its a generational slavery mod, not child slavery! That's bad!

Now I can have proper child soldiers lmao

Gotta love child slavery

@Arack Babara - No, I uhh... sent him on a vacation.

NOOOO WHY DID YOU KILL PABLO

Mission complete. Amazing! That right there is why you're the best, Boss. The one and only.

Boss, You Killed A Child...?

who up enslaving they children

Child slaves? Child slaves!

@Pode - That's already on my to-do list. But right now, I'm focusing on making sure things are working as intended. I'll add another discussion for bug reports and suggestions.

Since you said it "should" be easy, I'll add on to the request. My crew has a teenage love triangle thing going between Aiko, Curious Kid (I named him Jorj), and Fuli, so if they could all talk at least as much as the normal kids that'd be awesome. I had a great moment where a random girl that was a tomboy was the target for Beep's who else is female speech and my main's wife (the mom) was the one who laughed.

@Pode - From what I've read in the forums, it's actually possible. Since the dialogue is tied to the character (that I deleted, whoops...). Should be easy to restore, I'll post an update soon.

Oh

Looks great!

I'll add support for the new races

Very conflicted now after reading the change log again. I have a run with the OG mod that's going well ~2 game months (and ~8 or so RL months) in, but the idea of having a daughter that can actually talk to me is tempting me to restart. Is there no way to have the dialog apply in an existing save?

One of the reasons I changed hive child name to juvenile XD

I'm a big fan of Lawh's original, but you had me at child soldiers.

Another sentence I've put on the Internet guaranteeing I never get elected to anything.

He's the dude with a bunch of followers who roam around Okran's Gulf and suddenly gave the player a ton of money. Removed him because he's kinda OP and made early game a bit too easy.

Thank you for the mod! Can you clarify who is Pablo, please? I was using original mod a while ago, but cant remember this character. (Judging by the name, is he some kind of child slaver?)

Side note: My FCS starts bugging out while I'm making this mod. Some stuff might not work as intended. Feel free to bug me if you found any bugs.
