Fertility Drugs and Birth Control

Description
This is my first mod. I have created fertility drugs and birth control at Tribal, Industrial, and Spacer levels of technology.

THIS MOD REQUIRES BIOTECH TO WORK

This was created to fix a very specifc gap I found in my playstyle - I could find Industrial Birth Control mods, but I felt it was logical for a Herbal/Tribal version to exist.

The mod introduces Silverroot and Goldenroot, these two plants can be farmed or can grow wild. These plants are the base for the drugs, drugs derived from Silverroot will reduce fertiltiy and drugs derived from Goldenroot will increase fertility.

At Tribal level these can be brewed with Herbal Medicine and Psychite Tea to create Silver Tea and Golden Tea.
At Industrial level the tea can be further refined using Medicine and Neutroamine into Birth Control and Fertility Drugs.
At Spacer level the drugs can be further refined using Glitter Medicine and Neutroamine into Glitter Birth Control and Fertility Drugs.

For extreme cases, there is also a Glitter Fertility Implant. This gives an incredibly powerful temporary boost to fertility.

Finally, there is also the Blood Tea. This is a Tribal level tea that will end unwanted pregnancies, but the tea will make the person very sick, so repeated doses may be dangerous.

A note: these can only enhance the fertility that is already present. It cannot grant fertility to a truly and completely infertile pawn. Sometimes a pawn may show as having 0% fertility, but they actually have 0.1% fertility, especially if they were losing fertility as they aged - this pawn could benefit from the Glitter Fertility Implant!

Other than Biotech, no Mods are required, however I would strongly recommend "Show Fertility on Health Tab" and "Manual Lovin'", they were useful in testing.

One of the most essential mods there is. Does anyone know if it works in 1.6?

Someone made a higher resolution retexture for this mod in case anyone is interested: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3332661500&searchtext=

What Mayonnaise said, cool mod.

I never thought I'd have a history lesson from browsing Steam Workshop mods

the idea of a Tribal tech level fertility treatment is great, considering the Romans LITERALLY CULTIVATED A CROP TO EXTINCTION specifically because it acted as an abortifacient.

Awesome! I'll probably wait on this until there is a retexture or something, as I'm generally averse to recolors, but content-wise it looks very good!

I really like the look of this - looks like you've thought it through!
