That would leave workers with plenty of free time to make babies. Synergy man. I love it.

I agree. That would add a lot of game time to it and self investment.

and you would have a population that you cant control the growth of (which would be cool), unless you can control breeding rules, - plus more people draining food and air and power, but not giving anything back - until they become adults. I love it!

Somewhere I saw here on the forum that some of the programmers, considering the game code, found there the opportunity to create children. It seems that the authors of the game initially intended to do this, but then abandoned this idea.

Has anyone else thought of this? That colonists should pair up and start making babies. Then we should have to provide schools and educate them. Also if there were more advanced robots that could do things like make plastic and metal that would be cool also.

different types of schools

A working school trains babies to be workers
An organic chemistry school trains babies to be biologists
An engineering school trains babies to be engineers
A medical school trains babies to be medics
A military school trains babies to be gaurds
They can choose which one to go to but will have to be in it for 20 days to become their specialization.
