Toddlers

Now that toddlers are wandering giggle mood buffs, maybe they won't spend the first 3 years of their life in a growth vat. lol

@Zairya
I haven't really thought about how to handle prisoners/slaves yet. I think maybe only let toddlers feed autonomously from adults of the same faction and social class, and need the intervention of another adult (or maybe even player intervention) to cross those boundaries?

As I said, needs some thought. I'll try not to make it too creepy haha.

I can double check that the Toddlers code is working as intended, when I get the time.

But Toddlers gets the body textures from the ones defined by the race for babies, or failing that from the children, and some races don't have separate textures for babies or children, or are just kinda weirdly configured.

I advise testing whether infants (ie babies without Toddlers mod, or 0yo babies with Toddlers) have the correct graphic. It's usually hidden under the swaddling graphic when they're alive but visible when they're dead.

If the infants have the correct graphic, the problem is with the Toddlers code, and I'll need to fix it. (Let me know.) If the infants also have an incorrect graphic, you'll need to report it to the author of the race mod in question.

"What I'd be considering adding is having older toddlers be able to effectively climb onto the lactating pawn to breastfeed rather than needing a second adult's help. Which I think should be doable."

Would this include prisoners or slaves? I rarely have prisoners but it would be... kind of funny. I'm just getting chills about this because having my mouselings "falling off" their cribs was horrible. You fixed this already, no worries.

Some alien races have incorrect body shape textures for one year old children. Is there any way to replace it? Or we need to wait for you to fix it.for example milira race,wolfein race

Theoretically, if you have a bath or washtub, they can bathe the babies which adds both Hygiene and Play. I'm gonna check if that's still working, if it's stopped happening.

Babies can be carried to downed or unconscious moms and breastfeed from them - this is vanilla Biotech behaviour (I believe?). Having an adult take them to the lactating pawn will still be necessary for infants whatever I add. Probably for younger toddlers as well.

What I'd be considering adding is having older toddlers be able to effectively climb onto the lactating pawn to breastfeed rather than needing a second adult's help. Which I think should be doable.

(All feature additions are on hold until I finish the 1.6 updates, but I'm _nearly_ there now.)

Wait, you could really bath them? I only ever had them washed o.O

And techincally, a baby knows how to "hit" a breast to make milk flow. the problem here is, that babies who, still need milk, can't move on their own. I doubt, you can solve this realistically.

@Vel
That is both pretty weird and pretty technical but I see what you mean. I'll have a think about how I'd implement it.

I don't think I set bathing to require low Play. I'll double check that it's still working in 1.6 - thanks for bringing it to my attention.

This is gonna sound very weird and a bit technical

But could a toddler, hypothetically, interact with a comatose pawn to breastfeed "by themselves" ? The question came up after my yttakin colony had to manually haul babies to the mother.

It certainly would be a feature I wouldn't mind seeing, as it would free up a bit of hauling toddlers around

And speaking of toddlers, perhaps it's just a perspective bias, but I haven't really seen babies/toddlers being bathed lately, only washed.

Is it because of needing BOTH hygiene low and recreation low ? I find it adorable anytime it happens.

The whitelist for vacsuit and it's helmet aren't tagged for Odyssey, it gives a (harmless?) red error when the DLC isn't loaded.
