== Acquisition ==

== Summary ==
Is used to speed up aging of pawns under 18 or to create new pawns from an [[embryo]]
Embryo will take 9 days to become a child.

Can also be used to speed up aging of children 20x the speed of normal aging.

== Analysis ==
Growth vats can be used to age pawns up to 18 this is usually worthwhile as pawns under 18 have lots of workspeed penalties.

Babys can be placed in the growth vat to to speed up reaching toddler age, without any apparent ill effects apart from parents having a negative -4 thought for the parents. {{Check Tag|Not been extensively checked?}}.

Placing babys in the vat also reduces your need for baby food as normal nutriton can be used. {{Check Tag|Maybe even nutrient paste?}}.

{{Check Tag|Any penalty to growth if child has reached growth tier 8?}}.

Social

{{for|the skill of the same name|Skills#Social{{!}}Skills}}
[[File:SocialTab.png|frame|Example of a social tab]]
Each colonist has a '''social''' tab where you can see their opinions of each other and their relatives (if any). Only humans may have opinions of each other. Social relationships are mostly for roleplaying purposes but they do have effects on gameplay as well. For example, if a colonist's opinion of another colonist is too low, they may start a social fight, which will (if the colonists are well armed) do damage to both. There is also a possibility that while on berserk a colonist's father is killed by another colonist, so the father's family will dislike the killer (for the values check under Opinions).

The social needs of a pawn also came with marriages and lovers (as seen below in the Opinions section) and as of Alpha 14 humans now do incest. This means that a colonist's father and lover can be the same person.

= Opinion =
There are multiple different types of relations possible between pawns. They are based on both the opinions between these pawns and their familial ties. Opinions are affected by social interaction and the actions of the player.

== Beauty ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Exact Values need to be confirmed, list likely missing affecting thoughts. Stacking mechanics summary needed. Clarification that net beauty is important. Consider transclusion of [[Beauty (Pawn)]]}}
{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
All beauty modifiers are cumulative. Each new level of beauty above or below 0 increments the opinion of the pawn held by others by {{+|}}/{{--|}} 20 and is capped at {{+|}}/{{--|}} 40 meaning anything more than 2 beauty (either positive or negative) have no effect on gameplay.

== Random Social Interactions ==
Random social interactions happen between pawns when they are in near vicinity of each other. The ratio between good and bad interactions (partially) depends on a hidden value called pawn compatibility. This value is random and can be found when toggling the dev tools.

=== Chitchat ===
The most common type of social interaction. This increases relation between the two pawns by 2/3 opinion each, capping out at 10. It is nullified by the psychopath trait.
=== Deep Talk ===
A type of social interaction that gives a large +15 opinion of each other. It caps out at 10 and is nullified by the psychopath trait.
=== Insulted ===
This social interaction provides a -15 opinion of the person who insulted the target and caps out at 10 insults. An insult has a chance of starting a social fight. An insulted person will also suffer a -5 moodlet.
=== Slighted ===
This social interaction is similar to being insulted, except only giving a -5 opinion. It also caps out at 10 interactions. Being slighted also has a small chance of starting a social fight. It does not give a negative moodlet.
=== Social Fights ===
Social fights have a small chance of starting when a pawn is insulted or slighted. The chance of a pawn starting a social fight is can be affected by traits such as bloodlust and a pawn's current level of inebriation. The pawns in social fights cannot be drafted or controlled, similar to mental breaks. Fighting pawns' character portraits will display a red lightning bolt. The two fighting pawns will continue fighting until after {{Ticks|420}}, or until the other pawn is downed or killed. Both pawns will suffer minor cut and bruise injuries, but there is a small chance that a pawn may lose their eye or even die. Pawns will not use melee weapons in fights.

== Non-Intimate Relations ==
There are currently three types of relations between non-intimate pawns: Rival, Acquaintance, and Friend. Strangely enough, a pawn may be friends with someone who considers them to be a rival.
=== Rival ===
A rival of another pawn has an opinion of that pawn between -100 and -20.
=== Acquaintance ===
An acquaintance has a relation between -20 and 20.
=== Friend ===
A friend has a relation with another pawn between 20 and 100.

== Romance ==
=== Base Opinions ===
Pawns can have romantic relationships. Pawns in intimate relationships have higher base opinions of each other.

==== Lovers ====
Lovers have a +35 opinion of each other. Lovers are created by the romance social interaction. The romance social interaction can also be rebuffed, carrying a -10 opinion of the romance target for the romancer and a -15 opinion of the romancer for the romance target. Lovers will want to sleep together in [[Double bed]]s, [[Double bedroll]]s, or [[Double sleeping spot]]s, and will have a permanent positive moodlet based on the opinion of each other. These pawns can break up randomly or if their opinions of each other are too low. If their opinions of each other is high enough, one of the lovers may propose to get married.
==== Fiancés/Fiancées ====
After two lovers propose, they become Fiancés/Fiancées. They have a +30 opinion of each other. In the coming quadrums, they will have a marriage ceremony at the [[Marriage spot]] and become spouses.
==== Spouses ====
Spouses are married couples. Spouses have a +30 opinion of each other. Like all of the previous relationships, the couple will want to sleep together.
==== Ex-Lovers ====
Ex-Lovers are former lovers that have broken up through the breakup event. They have a -15 opinion of each other, but can get back together when their opinion rises back up. This is made hard by the fact that the target of the breakup will have an additional -50 opinion of the other person.
==== Ex-Spouses ====
Ex-Spouses are former spouses that have broken up through the breakup event. They have a -15 opinion of each other, but can get back together when their opinion rises back up. This is made hard by the fact that the target of the breakup will have an additional -70 opinion of the other person.
==== Romantic Social Interactions ====

=== Lovin' ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General stub also investigate JobDriver_Lovin }}
Lovers, Fiancé/Fiancées, and spouses may do lovin' if in a double sleeping place with each other. This will provide a positive mood boost for the two. For lovin' to happen the game checks every hour if the pawns are eligible (e.g., the pawns are not starving or bleeding, the pawns are in bed, et cetera). Both partners evaluate their mean-time-between seperately and is adjusted by the following:

* [[Pain]]: mean-time-between is multiplied by 1/(1-pain).
* [[Consciousness]]: increases mean-time-between when lower than 50%.
* Age: up to age 14, 0%, age 16 to 25, 100%, age 80, 20%.

|}

=== Affairs ===
If the opinion of another person is high enough and the opinion of the pawn's lover/fiancé/fiancée/spouse is low enough, a pawn may start an affair with another pawn. Their lover/fiancé/fiancée/spouse will suffer a massive -70 opinion of the adulterer.

This is disabled for [[Ideology]] if specific setting for the ideoligions is set to have free range of spouse.

==Misc actions==
Any opinion thoughts regarding selling of loved ones or bonded animals are against the warden of the colony.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Social/Opinion system added. Family members out to cousins and beyond are now tracked, as are lovers, fiancees, marriages and exes of the same. Lovin' is added and Colonists in relationships can now share beds. People may get in social fights with those they dislike (even neutrals and enemies do this). Marriage ceremonies and parties added. People who leave the map while traveling, fleeing, being kidnapped, etc. can come back later as raiders, visitors, joiners, etc.
* [[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - Pawns now sometimes take the family name of their partner upon marriage. Pawns now really like the pawn who rescued them.

Unknownlord: /* Artificial pregnancy */ Some links

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Children''' are added by the [[Biotech (DLC)| Biotech DLC]]. They are smaller, slower, and less capable of work when compared to adult pawns, but gain skills as they age.

== Acquisition ==
{{Move|section=1|reason=The page should focus on reproduction. This section should be moved to another page (Child)}}
Children can be obtained via several different methods:
# Naturally, through pregnancy or surrogacy.
# Artificially, through [[growth vat|growth vats]].
# Purchasing them from [[Trade#Slaver|slavers]].
# Kidnapping them from other settlements.
# Receiving them from [[quests]].

== Natural pregnancy ==
Pawns have a chance to get pregnant when they initiate lovin'. A pawn's chance of getting impregnated can be seen by checking their fertility stat. This stat is affected by a variety of factors, such as age and genes. For baseline humans without fertility-modifying genes, both men and women start becoming fertile after age 14; women's fertility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 20-28, then drops steadily from 100% to 0% at age 50, while men's fertility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 18-50, then starts dropping before reaching 0% at age 90.

|yAxisTitle = Fertility (%)
}}
|}

You can further increase pregnancy odds by opening a pawn's social tab and choosing to try for pregnancy (x4 chance) or try avoid pregnancy (x0.25 chance).

Pregnancy lasts for 18 days, broken into three 6 day trimesters. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement, manipulation, and hunger rate, increasing each trimester. They also occasionally gain mood buffs or debuffs due to hormonal induced mood swings.

Note that Pawns in the character selection menu can begin the game already pregnant.

It is impossible for a mother that is lactating to have another child under any circumstances, even via surrogacy.

=== Birth ===
The player will receive two notifications before birth: one several days before the birth, and another when the mother enters labor. Once labor begins, the birthing procedure can be initiated by clicking on the mother and selecting the "Begin birth" option. This allows the player to select the participating pawns, much like a ritual from Ideology. Presence of a skilled doctor and loved ones at the birth improves the probability of positive outcomes. Once the procedure begins, all participants will move towards a bed (or sleeping spot), preferentially one designated as a medical bed.

The progress of labor can be tracked in the mother's health tab. Each successive stage of labor results in an increasing amount of pain, quickly incapacitating the pawn. Once birth is complete, the baby will appear on an adjacent tile, and the mother will be incapacitated by exhaustion for up to a full day. At this point, a pawn with the Childcare work enabled can be instructed to either move the baby to a safe space, or to deliver it to the mother for breastfeeding.

The baby can be born healthy, sickly, or die during birth. There is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. This is impacted by the quality of the room, the cleanliness, the quality of the bed, the quality of the doctor and if loved ones are around (i.e. The father).

Pawns that successfully give birth then lactate and can feed their child milk. After 10 days of not breastfeeding a child, they cease to lactate.

== Artificial pregnancy ==
To create children artificially you need a [[growth vat]] and to have researched fertility procedures. Active vats must be given a constant supply of nutrition to ensure survival of the fetus.

Then with the following procedure
# Performing an operation on a female pawn to extract an [[ovum]] (can be a prisoner or slave).
# Selecting ovum and setting a male colonist to fertilize (can be a slave, but not a prisoner).
# Planting the [[embryo]] into the growth vat by either selecting the growth vat or the embryo.

Time taken until birth is accelerated to only 9 days.

Post-birth, child growth can continue to be accelerated inside the growth vat up and until a pawn turns 18. However, they will not accrue progress on growth tiers whilst inside, leading to worse options during growth moments.

Children in grown vats age 20x as fast as normal children.

==Surrogacy==
When Fertility procedures is researched an ovum can be extracted from a female pawn, fertilized by a male pawn to produce an embryo
This embryo can be placed inside a female pawn who will become pregnant.

If the mother with embryo is not the one who supplied the ovum they will be the pawn's birth mother.

The pregnancy part is largely the same as a natural pregnancy {{Check Tag|Not thoroughly checked, quick devmode run to write this section}}.

== Development ==
{{Move|section=1|reason=The page should focus on reproduction. This section should be moved to another page (Child)}}
Children naturally age four times faster than adults do, so in one year, they can go from a 4 to an 8 year-old. Once they are 18, they'll become an adult. Before then, you'll probably want to give them the skills to be capable adults. Although they can perform most tasks for any skills, they start at very low skill levels, with few passions. Luckily, they have several ways to develop these over time. If children are taught well, then they will progress through growth tiers, and they will gain new traits and passions during several growth moments, which come at age 7, 10, and 13. This works through a new need for children--Learning. Viewed in the needs tab, you can see what learning-related activities a child wants to do next–the options are skydreaming, radio talking, floor drawing, nature running, work watching, and lesson taking. When children are scheduled to do Anything or Recreation, they will fulfill these needs, although they need the participation of an adult to accomplish work watching or lesson taking. With a fulfilled learning need, children will raise their growth score (shown at the bottom of the screen when a child is selected). Their score can pass through 8 tiers of learning, and each will grant more rewards during a child's growth moment. Tiers give you more flexibility in choosing a child's next trait and allow you to give them passions. Once a growth moment has passed, the child's growth tiers will reset to 0, and you'll need to keep them learning to gain more rewards.

{| class=wikitable

| 7 || 150 || 1 from 4 options || 2 from 4 options
|-
| 8 || 162 || 1 from 6 options || 3 from 6 options
|}

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

==== Age 3 ====
Now your baby is a child! They can now walk and talk, and do activities for skills like melee, shooting, or social. Their Play need is also replaced with a new Learning need.

==== Age 13 ====
When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Finally, their Learning need is replaced with the Recreation need. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a [[School desk|desk]] and the adult instructs the child in a random, currently usable (e.g., when age 4 this can be shooting, melee, or social) skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by up to 60% by adding up to 3 [[Blackboard|blackboards]] near the school desks at which the lesson takes place. Additionally, it also trains the adult's social skill.

==== Nature running ====
Children run around outside, similar to the adult "Going for a walk" activity.

==== Radio Talking ====
Chat with people over the radio. Requires a powered comms console.

==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.

Children

2022-10-25T09:15:09Z

Unknownlord: /* Acquisition */ link to new growth vat page

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Children''' are added by the [[Biotech (DLC)| Biotech DLC]]. They are smaller, slower, and less capable of work when compared to adult pawns, but gain skills as they age.

== Acquisition ==
Children can be gained through several different methods:
# Naturally, through pregnancy or surrogacy.
# Technologically, through [[growth vat|growth vats]].
# Purchased from slavers.
# Kidnapping.
# Quests

== Natural pregnancy ==
Pawns have a chance to get pregnant when they initiate lovin'. A pawn's chance of getting impregnated can be seen by checking their fertility stat. This stat is affected by a variety of factors, such as age and genes. For baseline humans without fertility-modifying genes, both men and women start becoming fertile after age 14; Women's fertility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 20-28, then drops steadily from 100% to 0% at age 50, while men's fertility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 18-50, then starts dropping before reaching 0% at age 90.

{| class="wikitable"
|-

|width=400
|height=100
|type=line
|x=0, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 45, 50, 120
|y=0, 0, 100, 100, 50, 10, 2, 0, 0
|xAxisTitle = Pawn age (years)
|yAxisTitle = Fertility (%)

|y=0, 0, 100, 100, 0, 0
|xAxisTitle = Pawn age (years)
|yAxisTitle = Fertility (%)
}}
|}

You can further increase pregnancy odds by opening a pawn's social tab and choosing to try for pregnancy (x4 chance) or try avoid pregnancy (x0.25 chance).

Pregnancy lasts for 18 days, broken into three 6 day trimesters. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement, manipulation, and hunger rate, increasing each trimester. They also occasionally gain mood buffs or debuffs due to hormonal induced mood swings.

Note that Pawns in the character selection menu can begin the game already pregnant.

It is impossible for a mother that is lactating to have another child under any circumstances, even via surrogacy.

== Birth ==
The player will receive two notifications before birth: one several days before the birth, and another when the mother enters labor. Once labor begins, the birthing procedure can be initiated by clicking on the mother and selecting the "Begin birth" option. This allows the player to select the participating pawns, much like a ritual from Ideology. Presence of a skilled doctor and loved ones at the birth improves the probability of positive outcomes. Once the procedure begins, all participants will move towards a bed (or sleeping spot), preferentially one designated as a medical bed.

The progress of labor can be tracked in the mother's health tab. Each successive stage of labor results in an increasing amount of pain, quickly incapacitating the pawn. Once birth is complete, the baby will appear on an adjacent tile, and the mother will be incapacitated by exhaustion for up to a full day. At this point, a pawn with the Childcare work enabled can be instructed to either move the baby to a safe space, or to deliver it to the mother for breastfeeding.

The baby can be born healthy, sickly, or die during birth. There is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. This is impacted by the quality of the room, the cleanliness, the quality of the bed, the quality of the doctor and if loved ones are around (i.e. The father).

Pawns that successfully give birth then lactate and can feed their child milk. After 10 days of not breastfeeding a child, they cease to lactate.

== Artificial pregnancy ==
To create children artificially you need a growth vat and to have researched fertility procedures.

Then with the following procedure
# Performing an operation on a female pawn to extract an ovum (can be a prisoner).
# Selecting ovum and setting a male colonist to fertilize (cannot be a prisoner){{Check Tag|What about a slave?}}.
# Planting the embryo into the growth vat by either selecting the growth vat or the embryo

Time taken to birth is 9 days.

[[Growth vat]] must be given a constant supply of nutrition.

==Surrogacy==
When Fertility procedures is researched an ovum can be extracted from a female pawn, fertilized by a male pawn to produce an embryo
This embryo can be placed inside a female pawn who will become pregnant.

If the mother with embryo is not the one who supplied the ovum they will be the pawn's birth mother.

The pregnancy part is largely the same as a natural pregnancy {{Check Tag|Not thoroughly checked, quick devmode run to write this section}}.

== Development ==
Children naturally age four times faster than adults do, so in one year, they can go from a 4 to an 8 year-old. Once they are 18, they'll become an adult. Before then, you'll probably want to give them the skills to be capable adults. Although they can perform most tasks for any skills, they start at very low skill levels, with few passions. Luckily, they have several ways to develop these over time. If children are taught well, then they will progress through growth tiers, and they will gain new traits and passions during several growth moments, which come at age 7, 10, and 13. This works through a new need for children--Learning. Viewed in the needs tab, you can see what learning-related activities a child wants to do next–the options are skydreaming, radio talking, floor drawing, nature running, work watching, and lesson taking. When children are scheduled to do Anything or Recreation, they will fulfill these needs, although they need the participation of an adult to accomplish work watching or lesson taking. With a fulfilled learning need, children will raise their growth score (shown at the bottom of the screen when a child is selected). Their score can pass through 8 tiers of learning, and each will grant more rewards during a child's growth moment. Tiers give you more flexibility in choosing a child's next trait and allow you to give them passions. Once a growth moment has passed, the child's growth tiers will reset to 0, and you'll need to keep them learning to gain more rewards.

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

==== Age 3 ====
Now your baby is a child! They can now walk and talk, and do activities for skills like melee, shooting, or social.

==== Age 7 ====

==== Age 10 ====

==== Age 13 ====
When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a [[School desk|desk]] and the adult instructs the child in a random, currently usable (e.g., when age 4 this can be shooting, melee, or social) skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by up to 60% by adding up to 3 [[Blackboard|blackboards]] near the school desks at which the lesson takes place. Additionally, it also trains the adult's social skill.

==== Nature running ====
Children run around outside, similar to the adult "Going for a walk" activity.

==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.

=== Growth acceleration ===

Child growth can be accelerated if a pawn is younger then 18 at the cost of long term development using a [[growth vat]].

Children in grown vats age 20x as fast as normal children.

|image =
|description = A vat of fluid which can gestate an embryo or accelerate a child's growth.<br>
<br>
While growing or gestating, the vat must be fed with a constant supply of nutrition to provide the feedstock for growth. Gestating an embryo takes twice the nutrition of accelerating a child's growth.<br>
<br>
Embryos are gestated for 9 days before a baby is formed. There is a risk of health complications.<br>
<br>
Child growth can only be accelerated up to age 18, but not beyond. While growing, a child's skills will slowly increase. Children raised in growth vats will have lower skills and gain fewer passions than normal.<br>
<br>
The device uses chemical injections, electrical stimulation, and simple mechanite treatments to push the body to grow. Growth vats are often used to quickly manufacture engineered workers or warriors.

Impids

2022-10-25T06:38:35Z

Unknownlord: /* Genes */ fix incorrectly referring to hussars

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Impids''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenotype]] of fire-breathing devilish desertpeople. They are adapted well to the desert, but sacrifice ability with melee fighting, plants, and animals, to accomplish this. They're recognizable by their horns, bright skin, and fire-breathing attacks.

== Lore ==
<blockquote><small>''Made for desert life, impid cultures live on many rimworlds and dry deathworlds. Impids are extremely fast-moving, easily tolerate high temperatures, and can spew fire from their mouths. Though they are masters on the sand, impids struggle in other environments. They are terrible with farming. They fight well at range, but in close combat their physical weakness becomes apparent.<br>Outlanders call them dustrunners because of their speed over open terrain and resistance to heat. Some tribes call them devils because of their horns and because they burn their enemies.<br>The savage impid tribe has no intention of coexisting peacefully with anyone else. Their warriors are experts at using their natural speed and flame attacks to burn the towns and children of other peoples. Impid tribes' combat tactics usually center on rapid-approach incendiary attacks using both handheld fire weapons and their fire spew ability.<br>Having been on the planet for thousands of years, the origins of this tribe are lost in myth. They might descend from a group of settlers who lost their technology, or an impid community in some long-ruined civilization.'' - '''In Game Description'''</small>
</blockquote>

== Genes ==
Impids have a mixed bag of physical abilities, but their fire spew ability is their main benefit. They also have flame-colored skin, horns, blond hair, with no beards, making them quite recognizable. Their genetic complexity is 11, and metabolic efficiency is 0, giving no effect on their hunger rate.

Abilities:
* Fire spew (like a psycasting ability, fire spew allows you to direct your impid to spray flames at their enemies with a recharge period of five days. When the impid is drafted, a box at the bottom of the screen will appear to let you do this. The fire can be directed out in a broad stream in the direction you choose.
Body:
* Weak immunity
* Slow wound healing
* Very fast runner
* Pessimist
* Cold weakness
* Heat super-tolerant
* Fire resistant
* Weak melee damage
Looks:
* Beardless
* Mini-horns
* Sandy-blonde hair
* Pale yellow skin
Skills:
* Poor plants
* Poor animals

You'll meet many impids when you get attacked by the Savage Impid Tribe: a vicious tribe with every intention of burning your base down. There is a slight chance that impids will show up with various [[Pirates|pirate gangs]], but it appears impids do not attempt to peacefully cohabitate in regular tribes and unions.

'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilties to [[human]] pawns.

Metabolism, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, is a measure of how much food a colonist needs to eat. Negative traits will increase their metabolism, meaning they need to eat less food, while positive traits will decrease their metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food. The metabolism counter caps at -5 (250% food intake) and 5 (50% food intake). You can have a metabolism higher than 5, but the food needed will not go below 50%. You can not have a metabolism below -5.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, is a measure of how complex the genetic makeup of a colonist will be. It affects the amount of time needed to regrow the colonist's genes, if need be.

Inheritability, denoted by "N/A", represents whether or not offspring can inherit it, as well as the chance (whether it's dominant, etc.)

Unknownlord: /* Gene harvesting (Biotech DLC) */ add a line break

{{TOCright}}

'''Human Resources''' are everything that a human body can offer: '''[[slavery]]''', '''[[Human Resources#Organ Harvesting|organ harvesting]]''', wearing '''[[Human leather|human skin]]''', and outright '''[[Human meat|cannibalism]]'''. Most pawns have a severe distaste for these things, but in dire circumstances it can be necessary to use every resource.

Most forms of HR impart significant [[mood]] penalties on many colonists, but they are also a potential route to survival and even a source of income. A number of traits can make this feasible as a core strategy for a colony. Some colonies might even make it the preferred standard for living, especially with mods or the [[Ideology DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

== Mood penalties ==
"Normal" colonists in base game (Core RimWorld) receive penalties whenever ''anyone'' in the colony: butchers corpses, harvest organs, kills a pawn through organ harvest, or sells slaves. Colonists will also receive penalties for seeing corpses, eating human flesh, or wearing human leather. They also don't like butchering corpses themselves. Colonists will know about organ harvesting and slavery (but ''not'' butchering) even while on a [[caravan]], or in another settlement. Debuffs from slavery, organ harvesting, and for a human butcher all stack, so it becomes very dangerous unless your colony is filled with psychopaths/cannibals.

Some additional care can be taken to maintain mood levels through other means, such as providing additional [[recreation]], [[psychic soothe pulser]]s, better [[meal]]s, [[drugs]] or improved quality bed. However, reserving these mood regulators for your organ farm could mean that a poorly timed [[psychic drone]] on top could seriously mess with your colony.

A pawn's [[Ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} may change what they feel about these practices - they might enjoy or even ''require'' them. See [[Human resources#Ideoligion]] for more details.

The [[Ideology DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}} changes the impact of these actions. All [[Ideoligion]]s have precepts for corpses, cannibalism, etc., which will change the moodlet accordingly. While some precept values are designed to be similar to the base game, they are not identical. For example, the value Corpses: Ugly, used if you select the option "Play Classic", provides a -4 moodlet for observing a fresh corpse, instead of the -3 in the base game. See [[Human resources#Ideoligion Table]] for more details.

=== Traits ===
The three [[traits]] below make a colonist react indifferently or even enthusiastically towards human suffering or abuse. If there are more than one of the traits on the same person, the most beneficial one applies (e.g. a Cannibal will always receive +20 mood per day by eating raw human flesh, no matter what other traits that colonist has).

* '''[[Psychopath]]''': No issue with slavery or organ harvesting
:*No issue with seeing fresh corpses or butchering corpses
:* does '''NOT''' like seeing rotten corpses, eating human flesh, or wearing human skin clothing

* '''[[Bloodlust]]''': No issue with organ harvesting. Likes to wear human leather, doesn't mind wearing [[tainted]] apparel (i.e. taken from a dead body)
:*No issue with seeing corpses (even rotten) or butchering corpses
:* does '''NOT''' like cannibalism or slavery

* '''[[Traits#Cannibal|Cannibal]]''': Loves human flesh and likes to wear human leather
:*No issue with seeing fresh corpses or butchering corpses
:* does '''NOT''' like slavery or organ harvesting.

== Uses ==
Humans and their corpses can be used for many valuable services:

== Unprocessed corpses ==
[[Animal]]s don't mind eating humans - it isn't cannibalism, after all. You may want to leave a pile of [[raider]] corpses for your [[warg]]s and other carnivores/non-grazing omnivores to eat, which also acts as free corpse disposal. Feeding human corpses has no penalty for the colony, except for those who see the corpses (including from hauling).

Corpses may also be stripped from their clothes. With an [[electric smelter]], you may scrap armor and weapons for small amounts of resources like [[steel]], which is useful once ore deposits are depleted. Apparel stripped from a corpse is considered [[tainted]], so actually wearing it will give mood penalties to non-Bloodlusted colonists. However, it's often worth the small penalty to use a set of [[marine armor]], or that [[megasloth wool]] [[parka]] in an [[biomes#Ice Sheet|ice sheet]].

== Organ harvesting ==
{{See also|Surgery|Medical Surgery Success Chance}}
Organ harvesting requires a live pawn, a doctor and 2 units of [[herbal medicine]] or better. Organs must be undamaged; diseased organs are not available to harvest. The [[kidney]]s, [[lung]]s, [[liver]] and [[heart]] are all options for harvesting, for use in other colonists or selling on the market. You can harvest the following from a healthy pawn until they die:

* 1 kidney worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}}
* 1 lung worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}}
* ''Either'' 1 heart or 1 liver, worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}.
Harvesting three organs is worth a total of {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}} + {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}} + ({{Icon Small|silver||{{#expr:{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}}}} or {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}) = {{Icon Small|silver||1150}} market value.
*If you have a [[prosthetic heart]], which costs {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Prosthetic heart|Market Value Base}}}}, you can install it to obtain the more valuable organic heart. Then, you can harvest the liver {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}, for a total of {{Icon Small|silver||1420}}. This is more efficient if you can craft your own prosthetic hearts - buying prosthetic hearts may actually cause a deficit for trade, as you always sell items at a loss.
*If the heart and liver are both unavailable, you may harvest a second kidney or lung for a total of {{Icon Small|silver||900}}.

If unwilling to organ-murder the donor, then you shouldn't remove the heart or the liver, leading to a value of {{Icon Small|silver||650}}. If a [[prosthetic heart]] is available, then you'll profit to {{Icon Small|silver||920}}. If the organ "donor" is still alive, they'll receive a -30 mood penalty ''per organ'' removed, at 75% stacking, up to 5 times. Expect survivors to [[break]], so check their melee skill accordingly. Alternatively, you can install [[peg leg]]s and [[wooden hand]]s to reduce their effectiveness, at the cost of 1 [[wood]] and even more medicine.

Pawns with [[bionic]] attachments are much more valuable: the full part may be retrieved and worth its normal value. Prosthetics may also be obtained, but are worth less than bionic parts. Removing an artificial part doesn't count as organ harvesting{{Check Tag|Fact Check}}.

Their default <u>market</u> value is displayed above. In practice the actual buying/selling price is the market price modified by [[Trade Price Improvement|trading skills/etc.]], and failing the surgery makes things more expensive.

===Mood===
Colonists receive a colony-wide -5 mood debuff from an organ harvest. Organs past the first count, or "stack", for a smaller debuff: 5 organs give -15 mood. If a vital organ (one that kills when harvested) is removed, then an additional and separate -6 mood penalty is received for organ murder.

The organ harvester themselves receives another -5 mood debuff, with progressively smaller stacks (5 organs, -15 mood), unless they wouldn't care. Finally, the organ harvester receives a social penalty.

Cannibals don't like organ harvesting - if it isn't on the plate, it probably isn't ok. Bloodlusted pawns and Psychopaths don't mind, however. Single organ harvests (say, to replace a lost lung) are manageable, if the surgeon doesn't mind or is treated well. But mass organ farms require a colony filled with special traits, suitable [[ideoligion]], or massive mood buffs to function.

== Human butchering ==
By default, "humanlike corpses" is turned ''off'' under the [Details...] tab under [Bills] on a [[butcher table]], to avoid accidental over-enthusiasm. Simply go in and turn click it back ''on'', and get to your dark deeds. Butchering a human produces {{Icon Small|human meat}} [[human meat]] and {{Icon Small|human leather}} [[human leather]].

Before [[difficulty]] modifiers, each undamaged corpse, butchered by a pawn with 100% [[Butchery Efficiency]] (or 10+ Cooking skill), is worth {{Icon Small|silver||284}} in market value from raw resources - human meat and human leather. Corpses may be further processed - converting them to simple meals and normal quality dusters provides an average of {{Icon Small|silver||370}} per corpse. This is before considering corpse damage, duster quality, [[Trade Price Improvement|trading skills/etc.]]... In most practical scenarios, pawns will die from damage, and you'll recieve less material.

=== Human meat ===
[[Human meat]] is nutrition like any other. The meat itself can be used as a last resort, or as a nice mood buff for cannibals. To cannibals, raw flesh is even better than a [[lavish meal]], with a +20 positive moodlet. Cooked human meat still counts as human meat, although it gives a lesser debuff/buff. Like butchering, you must edit a meal's bill in order for your pawns to start cooking with humans.

Raw human meat inflicts a massive mood penalty, which may be situationally useful. It can activate inspirations for a [[tortured artist]]. Low mood makes [[Ideoligion#Conversion|conversion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} easier, and even cause a [[Mental break#Crisis of Belief|Crisis of Belief]].

Human meat can also be used in a [[biofuel refinery]] to create [[chemfuel]], used to make [[kibble]] and other animal meals, and used in a [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with no penalties (beyond the initial butchering). The action of cooking human meat has no penalty, but eating the meat is another story.

A human corpse provides an average of 92.5 human meat, before missing body parts and [[difficulty]] modifiers are taken into account, for a market value of {{Icon Small|silver||73.92}}. Human meat itself is worth less than ordinary meat, but not when processed. Therefore, it can be cooked into {{Icon Small|simple meal||9.25}} [[simple meal]]s worth {{Icon Small|silver||138.75}} for 47.5 work, or processed in a biofuel refinery for {{Icon Small|chemfuel||46.25}}, worth {{Icon Small|silver||106.37}}. [[Fine meal]]s are more valuable if you have the vegetable ingredients for them.

=== Human leather ===
[[Human leather]], the other by-product of butchering a human, is terrible as a protective [[textile]], but has a high [[market value]]. If made into clothing, wearing such items give a mood boost to pawns with the [[bloodlust]] or [[cannibal]] traits.

Without [[DLC]], creating human [[armchair]]s or [[duster]]s is the most valuable way to use textiles. If the [[Royalty DLC]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} is enabled, this role is instead taken by [[formal vest]]s and [[corset]]s.

They also provide an average of 50 human leather, worth {{Icon Small|silver||210}} on its own. It is enough for 5/8ths of a [[duster]]; when converted into normal quality dusters, each corpse is worth around {{Icon Small|silver||231.25}} for 105 work. However, there may be leftover human leather, which is not accounted for.

=== Mood ===
Butchering a corpse gives a colony wide -6 debuff. This doesn't stack; butchering 1 or 100 corpses has the same effect, so butchering corpses en mass is more mood efficient. This can easily be managed, such as improving a colony's recreation, dining, or bed rooms. [[Shelf|Shelves]] are recommended if you have pawns that don't like seeing corpses on the ground. Even with shelves, "vulnerable" pawns will almost invariably see corpses at some time, which may make things less manageable.

Other than the intial butcher, there isn't a special penalty to using human material. Pawns don't like eating human meat (even in [[nutrient paste meal|nutrient paste]]) or human clothes - but they don't mind human meat used for [[kibble]], for instance.

The butcher themselves receives another -6 mood debuff, which ''does'' stack as they butcher more corpses (up to 4). It is recommended that they be a Cannibal, Bloodlusted, or a Psychopath, as all three traits don't mind butchering at all. Cannibals alone don't mind eating human meat, and receive a great mood boost for eating it, raw or cooked. Of course, an Ideoligion friendly to cannibalism and/or corpse butcher makes things easy.

== Selling slaves ==
{{Main|Slavery}}

Slavery in Core RimWorld is the [[trade|sale]] of [[prisoner]]s to other factions. Humans have a base value of {{Icon Small|silver}} {{Q|Human|Market Value Base #}}. This is reduced and increased by various traits (including skills), reduced by injuries, ailments, and organ loss, and increased directly by their bionics' value. It is a quick way to get decent amounts of money quickly. However, not all traders accept slaves - the most notable being slavers and [[faction base]]s.

A healthy pawn can give a lung, a kidney, and a heart/liver, worth {{Icon Small|silver||1150}}. Harvesting organs seems to have no penalty to corpse value{{Check Tag|Fact Check}}, so butchering the corpse then gives a value of {{Icon Small|silver||284}} without any further processing. This gives a total of {{Icon Small|silver||1434}} before further processing. Meanwhile, the value of a slave is proportional to their skills and injuries. Most often, it's less than the base human market value, and possibly less than their organs - see the information tab (once they've healed) for their value.

If a pawn is highly valuable, then they'll likely have skills or traits valuable to ''you'', so consider recruiting them. Therefore, at a certain point, harvesting a prisoner for their organs and/or butchering them is significantly more profitable.

In the [[Royalty DLC]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, prisoners can also be sold for [[Titles#Honor|honor]] to a Royal Tribute Collector - 3 honor each, equal to {{Icon Small|gold||200}} [[gold]] or {{Icon Small|silver||2000}} silver's worth in gold. Mood debuffs happen as usual. The quality of the prisoner, so long as they can walk, doesn't matter. Therefore, you can organ-harvest prisoners and then convert them into honor. However, like slavers, the empire only comes every so often.
:Honor itself can be converted into silver at a 4 honor : 500 silver rate, or {{Icon Small|silver||375}} silver per prisoner. This may seem worse than other options, but nearly all items are sold at less than market value. If a pawn is below [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill 16, then selling a [[heart]] or [[liver]] alone is worth less than 1 slave's worth of honor.

=== Mood ===
Selling slaves incurs a smaller mood decrease than organ harvest. Pawns will suffer a mood penalty of -3, stacking up to -15 for 4 days once slaves are sold. In Core RimWorld, only Psychopaths are immune to slavery debuffs. An ideoligion that supports slavery is a different story. Other pawns will have a significant [[Social|negative opinion]] of whoever sells the slaves.

Selling slaves in small amounts - 1 or 2 slaves every 4 days - provides a small and easily manageable mood debuff. You can improve their rooms, temporarily use [[drug]]s or [[lavish meal]]s, or simply tanking the mood if the colony is happy otherwise. However, Slavers only appear occasionally and stay around for 1-2 days, which makes selling slowly difficult without a nearby [[faction base]].

Alternatively, as the penalty caps out at a stack of 5, selling more than 5 prisoners does not increase the debuff further. Thus, selling in a single burst can be more efficient so long as the larger debuff can be withstood. Timing the sale with the occurrence of a wedding or party for example can help. Slaves can be stored in [[cryptosleep casket]]s to eliminate their upkeep cost while waiting to sell them. Note that prisoners must generally be anaesthetized to do so, and after removing them from the casket they will take some time to both wake up and fully recover which can affect both whether they can be sold and their price. Plan ahead to give them time to recover before their time of sale.

== Slaves (Ideology DLC) ==
{{Main|Slavery#Ideology}}
With [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, slaves become controllable workers. Slaves are acquired through threatening prisoners and dropping their will down to zero. Slaves are unable to do certain tasks, like research or artistry. However, they will ignore other incapabilities, so enslaving a pawn will override their refusal to do [[dumb labor]].

Compared to colonists, slaves have a large mood boost and no recreation need. However, they work at 85% speed, and you run the risk of a slave rebellion, similar to a prison break. The frequency of slave rebellions are determined by [[mood]], [[suppression]], proximity of weapons, and the presence of colonists.

Slaves in the colony provides a variable mood increase or decrease per individual slave, depending on Ideoligion. In exchange, they are potentially worth infinite value, so long as you can keep them fed and suppressed. And like in the base game, you can sell them for a tidy profit.

== Ideoligion ==

{{Biotech}}
{{Stub}}
'''Children''' are added by the [[Biotech (DLC)| Biotech DLC]]. They are smaller, slower, and less capable of work when compared to adult pawns, but gain skills as they age.

== Acquisition ==
Children can be gained through several different methods:
# Naturally, through pregnancy or surrogacy.
# Technologically, through growth vats.
# Purchased from slavers.
# Kidnapping.
# Quests

== Natural pregnancy ==
Pawns have a chance to get pregnant when they initiate lovin'. A pawn's chance of getting impregnated can be seen by checking their fertility stat. This stat is affected by a variety of factors, such as age and genes. For baseline humans without fertility-modifying genes, both men and women start becoming fertile after age 14; Women's fertility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 20-28, then drops steadily from 100% to 0% at age 50, while men's ferility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 18-50, then starts dropping before reaching 0% at age 90.

}}
|}

You can further increase pregnancy odds by opening a pawn's social tab and choosing to try for pregnancy (x4 chance) or try avoid pregnancy (x0.25 chance).

Pregnancy lasts for 18 days, broken into three 6 day trimesters. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement, manipulation, and hunger rate, increasing each trimester. They also occasionally gain mood buffs or debuffs due to hormonal induced mood swings.

Note that Pawns in the character selection menu can begin the game already pregnant.

It is impossible for a mother that is lactating to have another child under any circumstances, even via surrogacy.

== Birth ==
The player will receive two notifications before birth: one several days before the birth, and another when the mother enters labor. Once labor begins, the birthing procedure can be initiated by clicking on the mother and selecting the "Begin birth" option. This allows the player to select the participating pawns, much like a ritual from Ideology. Presence of a skilled doctor and loved ones at the birth improves the probability of positive outcomes. Once the procedure begins, all participants will move towards a bed (or sleeping spot), preferentially one designated as a medical bed.

The progress of labor can be tracked in the mother's health tab. Each successive stage of labor results in an increasing amount of pain, quickly incapacitating the pawn. Once birth is complete, the baby will appear on an adjacent tile, and the mother will be incapacitated by exhaustion for up to a full day. At this point, a pawn with the Childcare work enabled can be instructed to either move the baby to a safe space, or to deliver it to the mother for breastfeeding.

The baby can be born healthy, sickly, or die during birth. There is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. This is impacted by the quality of the room, the cleanliness, the quality of the bed, the quality of the doctor and if loved ones are around (i.e.; The father).

Pawns that successfully give birth then lactate and can feed their child milk. After 10 days of not breastfeeding a child they cease to lactate.

== Artificial pregnancy ==
To create children artificially you need a growth vat and to have researched fertility procedures.

Then with the following procedure
# Performing an operation on a female pawn to extract an ovum (can be a prisoner).
# Selecting ovum and setting a male colonist to fertilise (cannot be a prisoner){{Check Tag|What about a slave?}}.
# Planting the embryo into the growth vat by either selecting the growth vat or the embryo

Time taken to birth is 9 days.

[[Growth vat]] must be given a constant supply of nutrition.

==Surrogacy==
When Fertility procedures is researched an ovum can be extracted from a female pawn, fertilised by a male pawn to produce an embryo
This embryo can be placed inside a female pawn who will become pregnant.

If the mother with embryo is not the one who supplied the ovum they will be the pawn's birth mother.

The pregnnancy part is largely the same as a natural pregnancy {{Check Tag|Not throughly checked, quick devmode run to write this section}}.

== Development ==
Children naturally age four times faster than adults do, so in one year, they can go from a 4 to an 8 year-old. Once they are 18, they'll become an adult. Before then, you'll probably want to give them the skills to be capable adults. Although they can perform most tasks for any skills, they start at very low skill levels, with few passions. Luckily, they have several ways to develop these over time. If children are taught well, then they will progress through growth tiers, and they will gain new traits and passions during several growth moments, which come at age 7, 10, and 13. This works through a new need for children--Learning. Viewed in the needs tab, you can see what learning-related activities a child wants to do next–the options are skydreaming, radio talking, floor drawing, nature running, work watching, and lesson taking. When children are scheduled to do Anything or Recreation, they will fulfill these needs, although they need the participation of an adult to accomplish work watching or lesson taking. With a fulfilled learning need, children will raise their growth score (shown at the bottom of the screen when a child is selected). Their score can pass through 8 tiers of learning, and each will grant more rewards during a child's growth moment. Tiers give you more flexibility in choosing a child's next trait and allow you to give them passions. Once a growth moment has passed, the child's growth tiers will reset to 0, and you'll need to keep them learning to gain more rewards.

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

==== Age 3 ====
Now your baby is a child! They can now walk and talk, and do activities for skills like melee, shooting, or social.

==== Age 7 ====

==== Age 10 ====

==== Age 13 ====
When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a [[School desk|desk]] and the adult instructs the child in a random, currently usable (e.g., when age 4 this can be shooting, melee, or social) skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by up to 60% by adding up to 3 [[Blackboard|blackboards]] near the school desks at which the lesson takes place. Additionally, it also trains the adult's social skill.

==== Nature running ====
Children run around outside, similar to the adult "Going for a walk" activity.

==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.

=== Growth acceleration ===

Child growth can be accelerated if a pawn is younger then 18 at the cost of long term development using a [[growth vat]].

==Surrogacy==
== Development ==
Children naturally age four times faster than adults do, so in one year, they can go from a 4 to an 8 year-old. Once they are 18, they'll become an adult. Before then, you'll probably want to give them the skills to be capable adults. Although they can perform most tasks for any skills, they start at very low skill levels, with few passions. Luckily, they have several ways to develop these over time. If children are taught well, then they will progress through growth tiers, and they will gain new traits and passions during several growth moments, which come at age 7, 10, and 13. This works through a new need for children--Learning. Viewed in the needs tab, you can see what learning-related activities a child wants to do next–the options are skydreaming, radio talking, floor drawing, nature running, work watching, and lesson taking. When children are scheduled to do Anything or Recreation, they will fulfill these needs, although they need the participation of an adult to accomplish work watching or lesson taking. With a fulfilled learning need, children will raise their growth score (shown at the bottom of the screen when a child is selected). Their score can pass through 8 tiers of learning, and each will grant more rewards during a child's growth moment. Tiers give you more flexibility in choosing a child's next trait and allow you to give them passions. Once a growth moment has passed, the child's growth tiers will reset to 0, and you'll need to keep them learning to gain more rewards.

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

==== Age 3 ====
Now your baby is a child! They can now walk and talk, and do activities for skills like melee, shooting, or social.

==== Age 7 ====

==== Age 10 ====

==== Age 13 ====
When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a [[School desk|desk]] and the adult instructs the child in a random, currently usable (e.g., when age 4 this can be shooting, melee, or social) skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by up to 60% by adding up to 3 [[Blackboard|blackboards]] near the school desks at which the lesson takes place. Additionally, it also trains the adult's social skill.

==== Nature running ====
Children run around outside, similar to the adult "Going for a walk" activity.

==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.

=== Growth acceleration ===

Child growth can be accelerated if a pawn is younger then 18 at the cost of long term development using a [[growth vat]].

'''Children''' are added by the [[Biotech (DLC)| Biotech DLC]]. They are smaller, slower, and less capable of work when compared to adult pawns, but gain skills as they age.

== Acquisition ==
Children can be gained through several different methods:
# Naturally, through pregnancy or surrogacy.
# Technologically, through growth vats.
# Purchased from slavers.
# Kidnapping.

== Natural pregnancy ==
Pawns have a chance to get pregnant when they initiate lovin'. A pawn's chance of getting impregnated can be seen by checking their fertility stat. This stat is affected by a variety of factors, such as age and genes. For baseline humans without fertility-modifying genes, both men and women start becoming fertile after age 14; Women's fertility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 20-28, then drops steadily from 100% to 0% at age 50, while men's ferility increases until it reaches 100% through ages 18-50, then starts dropping before reaching 0% at age 90.

You can further increase pregnancy odds by opening a pawn's social tab and choosing to try for pregnancy (x4 chance) or try avoid pregnancy (x0.25 chance).

Pregnancy lasts for 18 days, broken into three 6 day trimesters. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement, manipulation, and hunger rate, increasing each trimester. They also occasionally gain mood buffs or debuffs due to hormonal induced mood swings.

Note that Pawns in the character selection menu can begin the game already pregnant.

It is impossible for a mother that is lactating to have another child under any circumstances, even via surrogacy.

== Birth ==
The player will receive two notifications before birth: one several days before the birth, and another when the mother enters labor. Once labor begins, the birthing procedure can be initiated by clicking on the mother and selecting the "Begin birth" option. This allows the player to select the participating pawns, much like a ritual from Ideology. Presence of a skilled doctor and loved ones at the birth improves the probability of positive outcomes. Once the procedure begins, all participants will move towards a bed (or sleeping spot), preferentially one designated as a medical bed.

The progress of labor can be tracked in the mother's health tab. Each successive stage of labor results in an increasing amount of pain, quickly incapacitating the pawn. Once birth is complete, the baby will appear on an adjacent tile, and the mother will be incapacitated by exhaustion for up to a full day. At this point, a pawn with the Childcare work enabled can be instructed to either move the baby to a safe space, or to deliver it to the mother for breastfeeding.

The baby can be born healthy, sickly, or die during birth. There is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. This is impacted by the quality of the room, the cleanliness, the quality of the bed, the quality of the doctor and if loved ones are around (i.e.; The father).

Pawns that successfully give birth then lactate and can feed their child milk. After 10 days of not breastfeeding a child they cease to lactate.

== Artificial pregnancy ==
To create children artificially you need a growth vat and to have researched fertility procedures.

Then with the following procedure
# Performing an operation on a female pawn to extract an ovum (can be a prisoner).
# Selecting ovum and setting a male colonist to fertilise (cannot be a prisoner){{Check Tag|What about a slave?}}.
# Planting the embryo into the growth vat by either selecting the growth vat or the embryo

You can further increase pregnancy odds by opening a pawn's social tab and choosing to try for pregnancy (x4 chance) or try avoid pregnancy (x0.25 chance).

Pregnancy lasts for 18 days, broken into three 6 day trimesters. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement and manipulation, increasing each trimester. They also occasionally gain mood buffs or debuffs due to hormonal induced mood swings.

The baby can be born healthy, sickly, or die during birth. There is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. This is impacted by the quality of the room, the cleanliness, the quality of the bed, the quality of the doctor and if loved ones are around (ie; The father).

Note that Pawns in the character selection menu can begin the game already pregnant.

Pawns that successfully give birth then lactate and can feed their child milk. After 10 days of not feeding their child they cease to lactate.

Please note, it is impossible for a mother that is lactating to have another child under any circumstances, even via surrogacy.

== Artificial pregnancy ==
To create children artificially you need a growth vat and to have researched fertility procedures.

Then with the following procedure
# Performing an operation on a female pawn to extract an ovum (can be a prisoner).
# Selecting ovum and setting a male colonist to fertilise (cannot be a prisoner){{Check Tag|What about a slave?}}.
# Planting the embryo into the growth vat by either selecting the growth vat or the embryo

Time taken to birth is 9 days.

[[Growth vat]] must be given a constant supply of nutrition.

== Development ==
Children naturally age four times faster than adults do, so in one year, they can go from a 4 to an 8 year-old. Once they are 18, they'll become an adult. Before then, you'll probably want to give them the skills to be capable adults. Although they can perform most tasks for any skills, they start at very low skill levels, with few passions. Luckily, they have several ways to develop these over time. If children are taught well, then they will progress through growth tiers, and they will gain new traits and passions during several growth moments, which come at age 7, 10, and 13. This works through a new need for children--Learning. Viewed in the needs tab, you can see what learning-related activities a child wants to do next–the options are skydreaming, radio talking, floor drawing, nature running, work watching, and lesson taking. When children are scheduled to do Anything or Recreation, they will fulfill these needs, although they need the participation of an adult to accomplish work watching or lesson taking. With a fulfilled learning need, children will raise their growth score (shown at the bottom of the screen when a child is selected). Their score can pass through 8 tiers of learning, and each will grant more rewards during a child's growth moment. Tiers give you more flexibility in choosing a child's next trait and allow you to give them passions. Once a growth moment has passed, the child's growth tiers will reset to 0, and you'll need to keep them learning to gain more rewards.

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a desk and the adult instructs the child in a random, currently usable (e.g., when age 4 this can be shooting, melee, or social) skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by up to 60% by adding up to 3 blackboards near the school desks at which the lesson takes place. Additionally, it also trains the adult's social skill.

==== Nature running ====
==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.

'''Children''' are smaller, useless pawns added in the [[Biotech (DLC)| Biotech DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
Children can be gained through several different methods:
# Naturally, through pregnancy or surrogacy.
# Technologically, through growth vats.
# Purchased from slavers.
# Petty theft.

== Natural pregnancy ==
Pawns have a chance to get pregnant when they make lovin'. A pawn's chance of getting impregnanted can be seen by checking their fertility stat. This stat is affected by a variety of factors, such as age and genes. For baseline humans without fertility-modifying genes, women's fertility increases until it reaches 100% at age 20, then drops steadily from 100% to 0% by age 50, and men's starts dropping after 50.

Human resources

Unknownlord: Add a stub about Genetic harvesting

{{TOCright}}

'''Human Resources''' are everything that a human body can offer: '''[[slavery]]''', '''[[Human Resources#Organ Harvesting|organ harvesting]]''', wearing '''[[Human leather|human skin]]''', and outright '''[[Human meat|cannibalism]]'''. Most pawns have a severe distaste for these things, but in dire circumstances it can be necessary to use every resource.

Most forms of HR impart significant [[mood]] penalties on many colonists, but they are also a potential route to survival and even a source of income. A number of traits can make this feasible as a core strategy for a colony. Some colonies might even make it the preferred standard for living, especially with mods or the [[Ideology DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.

== Mood penalties ==
"Normal" colonists in base game (Core RimWorld) receive penalties whenever ''anyone'' in the colony: butchers corpses, harvest organs, kills a pawn through organ harvest, or sells slaves. Colonists will also receive penalties for seeing corpses, eating human flesh, or wearing human leather. They also don't like butchering corpses themselves. Colonists will know about organ harvesting and slavery (but ''not'' butchering) even while on a [[caravan]], or in another settlement. Debuffs from slavery, organ harvesting, and for a human butcher all stack, so it becomes very dangerous unless your colony is filled with psychopaths/cannibals.

Some additional care can be taken to maintain mood levels through other means, such as providing additional [[recreation]], [[psychic soothe pulser]]s, better [[meal]]s, [[drugs]] or improved quality bed. However, reserving these mood regulators for your organ farm could mean that a poorly timed [[psychic drone]] on top could seriously mess with your colony.

A pawn's [[Ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} may change what they feel about these practices - they might enjoy or even ''require'' them. See [[Human resources#Ideoligion]] for more details.

=== Mood table (Core) ===

The [[Ideology DLC]]{{IdeologyIcon}} changes the impact of these actions. All [[Ideoligion]]s have precepts for corpses, cannibalism, etc., which will change the moodlet accordingly. While some precept values are designed to be similar to the base game, they are not identical. For example, the value Corpses: Ugly, used if you select the option "Play Classic", provides a -4 moodlet for observing a fresh corpse, instead of the -3 in the base game. See [[Human resources#Ideoligion Table]] for more details.

=== Traits ===
The three [[traits]] below make a colonist react indifferently or even enthusiastically towards human suffering or abuse. If there are more than one of the traits on the same person, the most beneficial one applies (e.g. a Cannibal will always receive +20 mood per day by eating raw human flesh, no matter what other traits that colonist has).

* '''[[Psychopath]]''': No issue with slavery or organ harvesting
:*No issue with seeing fresh corpses or butchering corpses
:* does '''NOT''' like seeing rotten corpses, eating human flesh, or wearing human skin clothing

* '''[[Bloodlust]]''': No issue with organ harvesting. Likes to wear human leather, doesn't mind wearing [[tainted]] apparel (i.e. taken from a dead body)
:*No issue with seeing corpses (even rotten) or butchering corpses
:* does '''NOT''' like cannibalism or slavery

* '''[[Traits#Cannibal|Cannibal]]''': Loves human flesh and likes to wear human leather
:*No issue with seeing fresh corpses or butchering corpses
:* does '''NOT''' like slavery or organ harvesting.

== Uses ==
Humans and their corpses can be used for many valuable services:

== Unprocessed corpses ==
[[Animal]]s don't mind eating humans - it isn't cannibalism, after all. You may want to leave a pile of [[raider]] corpses for your [[warg]]s and other carnivores/non-grazing omnivores to eat, which also acts as free corpse disposal. Feeding human corpses has no penalty for the colony, except for those who see the corpses (including from hauling).

Corpses may also be stripped from their clothes. With an [[electric smelter]], you may scrap armor and weapons for small amounts of resources like [[steel]], which is useful once ore deposits are depleted. Apparel stripped from a corpse is considered [[tainted]], so actually wearing it will give mood penalties to non-Bloodlusted colonists. However, it's often worth the small penalty to use a set of [[marine armor]], or that [[megasloth wool]] [[parka]] in an [[biomes#Ice Sheet|ice sheet]].

== Organ harvesting ==
{{See also|Surgery|Medical Surgery Success Chance}}
Organ harvesting requires a live pawn, a doctor and 2 units of [[herbal medicine]] or better. Organs must be undamaged; diseased organs are not available to harvest. The [[kidney]]s, [[lung]]s, [[liver]] and [[heart]] are all options for harvesting, for use in other colonists or selling on the market. You can harvest the following from a healthy pawn until they die:

* 1 kidney worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}}
* 1 lung worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}}
* ''Either'' 1 heart or 1 liver, worth {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}.
Harvesting three organs is worth a total of {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}} + {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}} + ({{Icon Small|silver||{{#expr:{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}}}} or {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}) = {{Icon Small|silver||1150}} market value.
*If you have a [[prosthetic heart]], which costs {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Prosthetic heart|Market Value Base}}}}, you can install it to obtain the more valuable organic heart. Then, you can harvest the liver {{Icon Small|silver||{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}, for a total of {{Icon Small|silver||1420}}. This is more efficient if you can craft your own prosthetic hearts - buying prosthetic hearts may actually cause a deficit for trade, as you always sell items at a loss.
*If the heart and liver are both unavailable, you may harvest a second kidney or lung for a total of {{Icon Small|silver||900}}.

If unwilling to organ-murder the donor, then you shouldn't remove the heart or the liver, leading to a value of {{Icon Small|silver||650}}. If a [[prosthetic heart]] is available, then you'll profit to {{Icon Small|silver||920}}. If the organ "donor" is still alive, they'll receive a -30 mood penalty ''per organ'' removed, at 75% stacking, up to 5 times. Expect survivors to [[break]], so check their melee skill accordingly. Alternatively, you can install [[peg leg]]s and [[wooden hand]]s to reduce their effectiveness, at the cost of 1 [[wood]] and even more medicine.

Pawns with [[bionic]] attachments are much more valuable: the full part may be retrieved and worth its normal value. Prosthetics may also be obtained, but are worth less than bionic parts. Removing an artificial part doesn't count as organ harvesting{{Check Tag|Fact Check}}.

Their default <u>market</u> value is displayed above. In practice the actual buying/selling price is the market price modified by [[Trade Price Improvement|trading skills/etc.]], and failing the surgery makes things more expensive.

===Mood===
Colonists receive a colony-wide -5 mood debuff from an organ harvest. Organs past the first count, or "stack", for a smaller debuff: 5 organs give -15 mood. If a vital organ (one that kills when harvested) is removed, then an additional and separate -6 mood penalty is received for organ murder.

The organ harvester themselves receives another -5 mood debuff, with progressively smaller stacks (5 organs, -15 mood), unless they wouldn't care. Finally, the organ harvester receives a social penalty.

Cannibals don't like organ harvesting - if it isn't on the plate, it probably isn't ok. Bloodlusted pawns and Psychopaths don't mind, however. Single organ harvests (say, to replace a lost lung) are manageable, if the surgeon doesn't mind or is treated well. But mass organ farms require a colony filled with special traits, suitable [[ideoligion]], or massive mood buffs to function.

== Human butchering ==
By default, "humanlike corpses" is turned ''off'' under the [Details...] tab under [Bills] on a [[butcher table]], to avoid accidental over-enthusiasm. Simply go in and turn click it back ''on'', and get to your dark deeds. Butchering a human produces {{Icon Small|human meat}} [[human meat]] and {{Icon Small|human leather}} [[human leather]].

Before [[difficulty]] modifiers, each undamaged corpse, butchered by a pawn with 100% [[Butchery Efficiency]] (or 10+ Cooking skill), is worth {{Icon Small|silver||284}} in market value from raw resources - human meat and human leather. Corpses may be further processed - converting them to simple meals and normal quality dusters provides an average of {{Icon Small|silver||370}} per corpse. This is before considering corpse damage, duster quality, [[Trade Price Improvement|trading skills/etc.]]... In most practical scenarios, pawns will die from damage, and you'll recieve less material.

=== Human meat ===
[[Human meat]] is nutrition like any other. The meat itself can be used as a last resort, or as a nice mood buff for cannibals. To cannibals, raw flesh is even better than a [[lavish meal]], with a +20 positive moodlet. Cooked human meat still counts as human meat, although it gives a lesser debuff/buff. Like butchering, you must edit a meal's bill in order for your pawns to start cooking with humans.

Raw human meat inflicts a massive mood penalty, which may be situationally useful. It can activate inspirations for a [[tortured artist]]. Low mood makes [[Ideoligion#Conversion|conversion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} easier, and even cause a [[Mental break#Crisis of Belief|Crisis of Belief]].

Human meat can also be used in a [[biofuel refinery]] to create [[chemfuel]], used to make [[kibble]] and other animal meals, and used in a [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with no penalties (beyond the initial butchering). The action of cooking human meat has no penalty, but eating the meat is another story.

A human corpse provides an average of 92.5 human meat, before missing body parts and [[difficulty]] modifiers are taken into account, for a market value of {{Icon Small|silver||73.92}}. Human meat itself is worth less than ordinary meat, but not when processed. Therefore, it can be cooked into {{Icon Small|simple meal||9.25}} [[simple meal]]s worth {{Icon Small|silver||138.75}} for 47.5 work, or processed in a biofuel refinery for {{Icon Small|chemfuel||46.25}}, worth {{Icon Small|silver||106.37}}. [[Fine meal]]s are more valuable if you have the vegetable ingredients for them.

=== Human leather ===
[[Human leather]], the other by-product of butchering a human, is terrible as a protective [[textile]], but has a high [[market value]]. If made into clothing, wearing such items give a mood boost to pawns with the [[bloodlust]] or [[cannibal]] traits.

Without [[DLC]], creating human [[armchair]]s or [[duster]]s is the most valuable way to use textiles. If the [[Royalty DLC]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} is enabled, this role is instead taken by [[formal vest]]s and [[corset]]s.

They also provide an average of 50 human leather, worth {{Icon Small|silver||210}} on its own. It is enough for 5/8ths of a [[duster]]; when converted into normal quality dusters, each corpse is worth around {{Icon Small|silver||231.25}} for 105 work. However, there may be leftover human leather, which is not accounted for.

=== Mood ===
Butchering a corpse gives a colony wide -6 debuff. This doesn't stack; butchering 1 or 100 corpses has the same effect, so butchering corpses en mass is more mood efficient. This can easily be managed, such as improving a colony's recreation, dining, or bed rooms. [[Shelf|Shelves]] are recommended if you have pawns that don't like seeing corpses on the ground. Even with shelves, "vulnerable" pawns will almost invariably see corpses at some time, which may make things less manageable.

Other than the intial butcher, there isn't a special penalty to using human material. Pawns don't like eating human meat (even in [[nutrient paste meal|nutrient paste]]) or human clothes - but they don't mind human meat used for [[kibble]], for instance.

The butcher themselves receives another -6 mood debuff, which ''does'' stack as they butcher more corpses (up to 4). It is recommended that they be a Cannibal, Bloodlusted, or a Psychopath, as all three traits don't mind butchering at all. Cannibals alone don't mind eating human meat, and receive a great mood boost for eating it, raw or cooked. Of course, an Ideoligion friendly to cannibalism and/or corpse butcher makes things easy.

== Selling slaves ==
{{Main|Slavery}}

Slavery in Core RimWorld is the [[trade|sale]] of [[prisoner]]s to other factions. Humans have a base value of {{Icon Small|silver}} {{Q|Human|Market Value Base #}}. This is reduced and increased by various traits (including skills), reduced by injuries, ailments, and organ loss, and increased directly by their bionics' value. It is a quick way to get decent amounts of money quickly. However, not all traders accept slaves - the most notable being slavers and [[faction base]]s.

A healthy pawn can give a lung, a kidney, and a heart/liver, worth {{Icon Small|silver||1150}}. Harvesting organs seems to have no penalty to corpse value{{Check Tag|Fact Check}}, so butchering the corpse then gives a value of {{Icon Small|silver||284}} without any further processing. This gives a total of {{Icon Small|silver||1434}} before further processing. Meanwhile, the value of a slave is proportional to their skills and injuries. Most often, it's less than the base human market value, and possibly less than their organs - see the information tab (once they've healed) for their value.

If a pawn is highly valuable, then they'll likely have skills or traits valuable to ''you'', so consider recruiting them. Therefore, at a certain point, harvesting a prisoner for their organs and/or butchering them is significantly more profitable.

In the [[Royalty DLC]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, prisoners can also be sold for [[Titles#Honor|honor]] to a Royal Tribute Collector - 3 honor each, equal to {{Icon Small|gold||200}} [[gold]] or {{Icon Small|silver||2000}} silver's worth in gold. Mood debuffs happen as usual. The quality of the prisoner, so long as they can walk, doesn't matter. Therefore, you can organ-harvest prisoners and then convert them into honor. However, like slavers, the empire only comes every so often.
:Honor itself can be converted into silver at a 4 honor : 500 silver rate, or {{Icon Small|silver||375}} silver per prisoner. This may seem worse than other options, but nearly all items are sold at less than market value. If a pawn is below [[Skills#Social|Social]] skill 16, then selling a [[heart]] or [[liver]] alone is worth less than 1 slave's worth of honor.

=== Mood ===
Selling slaves incurs a smaller mood decrease than organ harvest. Pawns will suffer a mood penalty of -3, stacking up to -15 for 4 days once slaves are sold. In Core RimWorld, only Psychopaths are immune to slavery debuffs. An ideoligion that supports slavery is a different story. Other pawns will have a significant [[Social|negative opinion]] of whoever sells the slaves.

Selling slaves in small amounts - 1 or 2 slaves every 4 days - provides a small and easily manageable mood debuff. You can improve their rooms, temporarily use [[drug]]s or [[lavish meal]]s, or simply tanking the mood if the colony is happy otherwise. However, Slavers only appear occasionally and stay around for 1-2 days, which makes selling slowly difficult without a nearby [[faction base]].

Alternatively, as the penalty caps out at a stack of 5, selling more than 5 prisoners does not increase the debuff further. Thus, selling in a single burst can be more efficient so long as the larger debuff can be withstood. Timing the sale with the occurrence of a wedding or party for example can help. Slaves can be stored in [[cryptosleep casket]]s to eliminate their upkeep cost while waiting to sell them. Note that prisoners must generally be anaesthetized to do so, and after removing them from the casket they will take some time to both wake up and fully recover which can affect both whether they can be sold and their price. Plan ahead to give them time to recover before their time of sale.

== Slaves (Ideology DLC) ==
{{Main|Slavery#Ideology}}
With [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, slaves become controllable workers. Slaves are acquired through threatening prisoners and dropping their will down to zero. Slaves are unable to do certain tasks, like research or artistry. However, they will ignore other incapabilities, so enslaving a pawn will override their refusal to do [[dumb labor]].

Compared to colonists, slaves have a large mood boost and no recreation need. However, they work at 85% speed, and you run the risk of a slave rebellion, similar to a prison break. The frequency of slave rebellions are determined by [[mood]], [[suppression]], proximity of weapons, and the presence of colonists.

Slaves in the colony provides a variable mood increase or decrease per individual slave, depending on Ideoligion. In exchange, they are potentially worth infinite value, so long as you can keep them fed and suppressed. And like in the base game, you can sell them for a tidy profit.

== Ideoligion ==
{{Ideology|No category}}
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Mood debuffs involving the Ideology DLC needed}}
With the [[Ideology]] DLC, pawns can tolerate - or even enjoy - certain illicit practices. The following precepts are relevant:
*'''Cannibalism: '''
:*Cannibalism: Acceptable - Negates penalties for butchering humans and human flesh, enjoys eating human flesh
:*Cannibalism: Preferred (or greater) - Negates penalties for butchering humans, enjoys eating human flesh and wearing human leather
*'''Corpses:''' Don't Care - Negates penalties from seeing corpses, fresh or rotten.
*'''Organ Use:''' Acceptable - Negates all penalties from organ harvesting.
*'''Slavery:'''
:*Slavery: Acceptable - Negates penalties for selling prisoners or using slave labor
:*Slavery: Honorable - Mood buffs for selling slaves and enslaving others

Pawns can be kept as prisoners for their genetic potential, to perform periodic Gene extractions and extract ovum's from female prisoners.
If their sole purpose is genetic you can install peg legs and remove them so that the prisoners can never escape.

'''Children''' are smaller, useless pawns added in the [[Biotech (DLC)| Biotech DLC]].

== Acquisition ==
Children can be gained through several different methods:
# Naturally, through pregnancy or surrogacy.
# Technologically, through growth vats.
# Purchased from slavers.
# Petty theft.

== Natural pregnancy ==
Pawns have a chance to get pregnant when they make lovin'. A pawn's chance of getting impregnanted can be seen by checking their fertility stat. This stat is affected by a variety of factors, such as age and genes. For baseline humans without fertility-modifying genes, women's fertility increases until it reaches 100% at age 20, then drops steadily from 100% to 0% by age 50, and men's starts dropping after 50.

{| class=wikitable
|+ Fertility by Age for Baseline Humans

|-
| 60 || 0% || ~80%
|-
| 70 || 0% || ~50%
|-
| 80 || 0% || ?
|}

You can further increase pregnancy odds by opening a pawn's social tab and choosing to try for pregnancy (x4 chance) or try avoid pregnancy (x0.25 chance).

Pregnancy lasts for 18 days, broken into three 6 day trimesters. The pregnant pawn will gain penalties to movement and manipulation, increasing each trimester. They also occasionally gain mood buffs or debuffs due to hormonal induced mood swings.

The baby can be born healthy, sickly, or die during birth. There is also a chance that the mother can die during childbirth. This is impacted by the quality of the room, the cleanliness, the quality of the bed, the quality of the doctor and if loved ones are around (ie; The father).

Note that Pawns in the character selection menu can begin the game already pregnant.

Pawns that successfully give birth then lactate and can feed their child milk. After 10 days of not feeding their child they cease to lactate.

Please note, it is impossible for a mother that is lactating to have another child under any circumstances, even via surrogacy.

== Artificial pregnancy ==
To create children artificially you need a growth vat and to have researched fertility procedures.

Then with the following procedure
# Performing an operation on a female pawn to extract an ovum (can be a prisoner).
# Selecting ovum and setting a male colonist to fertilise (cannot be a prisoner){{Check Tag|What about a slave?}}.
# Planting the embryo into the growth vat by either selecting the growth vat or the embryo

Time taken to birth a is 9 days.

Growth vat must be given a constant supply of nutrition.

== Development ==
Children naturally age four times faster than adults do, so in one year, they can go from a 4 to an 8 year-old. Once they are 18, they'll become an adult. Before then, you'll probably want to give them the skills to be capable adults. Although they can perform most tasks for any skills, they start at very low skill levels, with few passions. Luckily, they have several ways to develop these over time. If children are taught well, then they will progress through growth tiers, and they will gain new traits and passions during several growth moments, which come at age 7, 10, and 13. This works through a new need for children--Learning. Viewed in the needs tab, you can see what learning-related activities a child wants to do next–the options are skydreaming, radio talking, floor drawing, nature running, work watching, and lesson taking. When children are scheduled to do Anything or Recreation, they will fulfill these needs, although they need the participation of an adult to accomplish work watching or lesson taking. With a fulfilled learning need, children will raise their growth score (shown at the bottom of the screen when a child is selected). Their score can pass through 8 tiers of learning, and each will grant more rewards during a child's growth moment. Tiers give you more flexibility in choosing a child's next trait and allow you to give them passions. Once a growth moment has passed, the child's growth tiers will reset to 0, and you'll need to keep them learning to gain more rewards.

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a desk and the adult instructs the child in a random, currently usable (e.g., when age 4 this can be shooting, melee, or social) skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by up to 60% by adding up to 3 blackboards near the school desks at which the lesson takes place. Additionally, it also trains the adult's social skill.

==== Nature running ====
==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.

=== Growth acceleration ===

Child growth can be accelerated if a pawn is younger then 18 at the cost of long term development using a growth vat.

Children in grown vats age 20x as fast as normal children.

=== Growth moments ===
Children experience growth moments at 7, 10, and 13. At 18, they become adults. When a child hits the right biological age, a notification will pop up that allows you to choose new traits and passions, if you have been raising them well. A random assortment of choices will be presented, which you can choose from, aided by a window showing the child's Bio and Health stats. If you realize you want to choose the traits later, you can dismiss this window and choose again, within 48 hours of the birthday.

When a child turns 13, you will receive the notification: "Child" became an adult. They are not full adults yet, but now wear adult clothing, dropping their too-small child's clothes if wearing any. They will also gain the ability to smith and research. Unfortunately, this is also when some pre-existing health conditions take effect, like go-juice dependency.

=== Learning ===
==== Floor drawing ====
Children draw pictures on the floor in various places. This does not require any additional supplies and can occur on carpet. The drawings can be cleaned up the same way as any other dirt.
==== Lessons ====
The child(ren) and an adult sit together at a desk and the adult instructs the child in a specific skill. The child's skill level goes up. The speed at which the child learns can be increased by adding up to 3 blackboards near the school desks at which the lesson takes place.
==== Nature running ====
==== Sky dreaming ====
Children lay on the ground and watch the sky much like adults that are cloud watching.
==== Work watching ====
Children that are work watching follow an adult who is working while the adult does standard work.
