Faster Aging

Description
This mod gives you fine control over the rate at which pawns age.


Requires Hugslib, loaded before this mod.

Upon loading, you must enter the config menu to set the desired aging speed for humanoids and animals.

Storyteller aging settings are overridden by this mod's settings. Changing them does nothing.


Notable caveats:
-Does not increase the deadliness of old age, and as such it is likely your pawns will live somewhat longer than our modern life expectancy.
-Does not change the speed of animal pregnancies, nor the rate at which animals spawn on the edge of the map - there may be problematic side-effects with maintaining animal population on higher multipliers as a result.
-Biotech genes that change aging rates have cutoffs that do not interact with mod settings, though the aging rate changes the gene applies do work multiplicatively with mod settings.


If you have any issues with this mod, please report them in the comments so I can investigate and attempt to solve them.


Most Recent Update:
Version 2.0.4 - 2024-04-12
-Marked compatibility with Rimworld 1.5


This mod has a GitHub[github.com] page which has non-Steam mod releases.

Mod made and tested for RimWorld version 1.5. This mod ought to be compatible with any other mod that does not directly impact aging rate, and will often be compatible with even these mods. Please report all bugs or incompatiblities through this workshop page. Heck, I might even fix them.

if its fully compatible with 1.6 then why cant you just change it to 1.6

@A1GamerZz - I believe the mod is fully 1.6 compatible, nothing changed about the game's code that would break it. So you can just run the mod with it complaining in the game about being out of date, that doesn't actually do anything bad. If you do encounter bugs, though, report them and I would actually go in and set the modding environment up again to fix things.

can you please do an update for 1.6 i beggg i love this modd
Verdiss  [author] 2 Sep @ 8:39am 
@Kroestah - This is already possible, actually. There's an age threshold setting that you can enable. Check that and set the threshold to 18 years (or something like that), the base aging rate to 1 (or more, if you want quickly aging children), and the after threshold rate to 0 (stops them aging after the threshold age)

hello, loving the mod. gives me time to play the game without worrying about my colonists developing bad backs or dementia. i was wondering if you could make it so that colonists below a certain age can continue aging. would be wonderful for child colonists. i have not had the displeasure yet of having kids but this mod would be perfect when i inevitably will.

Apologies for the extended delay with confirming 1.6 compatibility. Good news: I see no code changes that would impact this mod, so everything works. Unless someone reports a problem, I'm going to leave the mod as it stands. It won't be marked as compatible with 1.6, but all that involves is me changing a line in the description and it's kind of a pain to get everything set up to upload that changed description right now.

If anyone encounters any issues related to aging or growth in 1.6, please report them, and I will actually get things updated properly
