Doesn't RimJobBeef already got a pregnancy duration setting at the mod setting tab ? @Alex

is it uhh... compatible with RJB?... asking for a friend

Seems to work fine in 1.6. Great mod for playthroughs with fast aging settings.

shameless copy and paste - Could you add compatibility for Vanilla Races Expanded - Insector? Specifically to allow insector mom to recover faster from self impregnation

each quadrum is 15 days so something like ~45 days shuld do

Real human pregnancy is 9 months, which equates to 3 quadrums in Rimworld. What should I set the slider to for that?

i want a mod to prevent pregnancy!

Could you add compatibility for Vanilla Races Expanded - Insector? Specifically to allow insector mom to recover faster from self impregnation

@Brother-Toaster you need the XML Extensions mod. Afterwards you can edit it by clicking the Plus icon next to mod options instead of in the regular mod options menu.

Doesn't generate a config menu for me to adjust the values. Am i doing something wrong?

Would it be possible to make it compatible with Vanilla Races Expanded Phytokins? Babies still take the full duration for birth. For a generation like playthrough, this make plant babies gestation incredibly long.

Pregnancy doesn't progress after set desirable days, my pawns stay on first trimester for a long time.

Would it be somehow possible to do this per xenotype? Via gene (I.e. 25%, 50%, 75% faster pregnancies) or in some other way?

I've been looking for a way to have individual xenotypes with individual gestation times but found nothing so far to make it possible.

Not sure how big an ask this is, but can you add adjustable settings for the postpartum hediff as well?

There's some kind of incompatibility in my 300+ mod list with this such that I need to place this mod at the end to ensure it does the final alteration to the game just so you know. So there's something out there that's fairly popular that can cause issues, maybe one of the prosthetics mods, I don't know. It would take a long time to determine which mod was the issue.

@OddHornedNinja Thank you for doing the initial testing. I did some tests for 1 day lactating periods and there doesn't seem to be much issues recharging for daily feeding.

I added some settings to adjust the Lacating hediff decay just in case you wanted to change up the values for future runs.

It seems to work fine, I have it at .25 and it only stops 4 days after like intended, All in all thanks for explaining what the changes would do.

I am willing to be a guinea pig next time I play. I'll let you know if I can figure anything out to help out

@OddHornedNinja Yeah, I was looking at the Hediff for lactating yesterday, but there's a few things associated with lactating that I'm unsure of.

It seems like lactating starts at 1 severity and decreases by 0.1/day. Which is how we get the 10 days. However, there appears to be some kind of charge linked with breastfeeding.
Changing the severityPerDay could lead to unexpected behavior.

If you want to test it out. You could change severityPerDay to be higher for a shorter breastfeeding timer.

Just in case you don't want to do the math:

-0.2 = 5 days
-0.25 = 4 days
-0.33 = 3 days
-0.5 = 2 days

@Daysleep I think I found the section for lactating? I don't really know much about modding so i don't know if it is what you where looking for but from what little I understood it has stuff about stopping due to malnutrition and other stuff relating to it. Its in Hediffs_Global_Misc under Lactating, sorry if this is no help.

@OddHornedNinja @Risk I tried to look for the Defs to change for breastfeeding and growth vats, but couldn't find any.

@Zastaver I haven't tried other race mods with this, so I'm not sure.

would there be a way to add thr option to modify growth vat births?

do dose anyone know if this works for other race mods?

Would a option be possible to change breast feed be possible? When your on a faster aging colony it can be a bit of a pain.

Thank you

Yeah, it's strange they let you change the aging speed but not this.

From the opening screen, you click "Options". At the bottom you see "Mod options", click the "+" next to it. There, you should see "Human Pregnancy Duration" around the left side.

Where do I go in game to change this setting? I've check custom storyteller settings or is it somewhere else?

Sweet 18 days seemed too short so the ability to make it longer is nice. Surprised the dlc didn't allow you to modify that with a scroll bar.

Just what I was looking for. Taking their already speedy 30d gestation period and making it 18d didn't sit right with me. I'm gonna set it to 45d for my longer games

Sorry, I don't have plans to add xenogenes affecting duration at the moment.

Thank you all for using the mod! I like that it's being used both for longer and shorter pregnancies. I'm currently using it for my 15x aging run.

Neat, was looking just for this. Any chances these settings could be added as xenogenes? (Faster/slower pregnancy)

Thanks! I was just wishing for this because I started a tribal colony with the adults set at 400% aging to match the kids and I realized that 18 days of pregnancy means those poor women are pregnant for over a year! (Yikes.)

Thank you. Rimworld already has a drastically accelerated timescale these days, didn't see why pregnancy needed to be accelerated even more on top of that.
