My colonists spawn as babies which severly limits their speed.

Can't build one of the required items as im missing a scyther. I've been scouring every trade ships, every set of raid spoils, and every work bench... Any help?

Did you try to visit your local walmart ? You have to kill a scyther and add removing prts bills on him. A good enough crafter should be able to gather 1/2 blades per scyther.

I have no mods that add human babies to the game but the same thing is happening to me. They spawn in their correct adult bodies but the description under the name calls them "baby male colonist" and they move so slowly; in fact, they are quite useless. I've been looking for some sort of "age accelerator mod" but no luck. I'm not sure what I can do with these guys...

I'm thinking that "baby" colonist just means they were newly made, as my clones have the same tag and I also have no mods that adds children

Do they get a new born tag in their anatomy ? Could you send a picture please ?

Not really, it's just where it usually says "(Fe)Male colonist of [colony]" it now says "Baby (Fe)Male colonist of [colony]". I'm away from my computer right now but i might be able to screenshot it tomorrow.

I can no longer take a screenshot because I'm going through an iroman playthrough and I've already "resolved" the issue for myself by using dev mode. There is a tool (4th from the left, top of the screen) that allows you to age your colonist by 1 year. I just used it on my clones to match their parent's age and now they are behaving appropiately .

I'm finding that after I clone my colonist, he/she will move reeeally slowly as if his/her movement stat was hindered in some way despite the movement stat being 100%. These colonists had implants and/or an addiction to luci boosting their stats but retained their limbs after cloning thanks to hax.

It's because your new clone is technically a "baby." Use dev mode to age your colonist by one year until he/she is no longer a "baby." The speed penalty will go away after you set them to at least 14 years of age.

Thanks for the info!

It has been corrected, clones should not spawn as babies anymore.

Thank you, but I have baby clones right now that I need to age up. How do I do this in the dev colsole, I have never used it...

Options > dev mode > 4th button on the top > 3rd column
Maybe you can remove the hediff, or force birthday.

thanks
