Okay, so, like.

Dwarf Fortress already has children. A mod that adds that functionality to a different Dwarf Fortress-like game doesn't sound like the worst possible thing, on the surface of it.

But boy oh boy is the selected passage troubling.

It's Rimworld, so adding children ends in armchairs and kibble being made out of them, even without troubling passages.

You know, I think we all need a palate-cleanser and possibly some brain bleach, so here's a dancing robot from the Space Engineers Community Workshop (the music's added in as a mod, the rest is vanilla blocks in the game).

Required by his programming!
The thing is Tynan has been very clear as to why kids aren't in the game right now and it's because the time scale is hosed for human kids (no colony lasts 13 years, ever) and the interactions are so complicated that they're not worth even considering

This guy is basically proving him right with his first release lol

it always was a bit of a shame that DF and RW never lasted long enough for the next generation of colonists to ever matter at all, would be nice to have an actual generational fort for once instead of every game being Roanoke after year one.

edit: now that I think of it what would rimworld adventure mode be like?

When I was a preteen I was really into The Sims and because of how the modding community was geared towards people who liked to use the game for roleplaying or as sort of virtual paper dolls to accompany stories there were a lot of mods that added pregnant Sims. But since OG Sims didn't have any sort of character growth or aging mechanic (kids stayed kids forever) it was purely cosmetic and meant your Sim just had a permanent baby bump, and when I used one of those mods for a character I was playing I remember having an existential panic attack at the thought of being perpetually pregnant and unaging, living in the same house forever.

I was a weird kid.

With a small, well-managed fortress, DF settlements can last two or three decades, long enough for a generation of children to be born, grow up, join the workforce, and succumb to FUN.

Relevant to the thread, however, you tend to run out of interesting things for that fort to do LONG before that point without some serious modding to flesh out some sort of side goal. I would recommend the hilarious and ill-fated Pokemon mod, but good luck completing your dorf pokedex when half of the little shits breathe fire or are horrible combat monstrosities angry at man and god.

I had a pretty solid self sustaining colony, even the bands of like 30+ raiders didn't ruin it because the ones that didn't get wrecked by the mine field and turrets were eaten alive by the hoard of disposable tamed wild life. Sadly that save went down in flames when I tried to start a second colony and the lag became so bad I couldn't play it anymore.

This is the bigger problem with trying to be more ambitious and last more than a year. A single year in one of these games feels like an eternity.

Rimworld has a pretty cool mod that adds in lovecraftian horrors and cults. It's pretty cool but as you would assume, everyone spends a pretty constant time near insanity and that can kind of suck.

It's like the total opposite of battlefield 2142 revive, which has links to straight up download/effectively pirate the game right on their website, and they advertised it on the official battlefield forums, but EA hasn't stopped them because why would they. The games were dead and had no hope of coming back because gamespy shut down, before revive did some moon magic to restore server functionality.

Canon is whatever you want it to be because none of it is real and anything can be changed at any time. They even made that canon with CHIM so gently caress it all, praise daedra, smoke skooma, khajit did nothing wrong.
