Comments on polyamory
Hey there!

Three real quick things:

1. this mod is better than the entire game. Literally. This mod is *the reason* I play RimWorld: with it, RW becomes the only mod with real, genuine poly representation, and it makes me *glow* to get to set my little triad down on a rough world and build a commune from scratch together. So, yeah, you brought me so much joy, updating this to recent RW versions. Thank you.

2. At the moment, it may be a little out-of-scope for this mod - but one of the stranger aspects of running a poly-friendly colony is that, in any polycule, *all* of the partners have to sleep together, all the time. It ... kinda? works? but it does require these huge, expensive beds.

Personally, I think it'd be a huge improvement to only require each partner to be slept with *occasionally*, and to allow each colonist to have multiple "assigned beds": i.e. in a Vee, the 'middle partner' could alternate between two double-beds, in each of her partners' rooms.

Perhaps higher "tiers" of relationship would have higher debuffs if the partner couldn't ever be slept with?

3. There's a ... bug? with Royalty, right now, relating to the above. I see either you or Rainbeau handled the case of a Vee pretty well (i.e. the only-positive-one-point if sleeping in a group bed with a partner's-partner that you do not share); and that worked fine for a bit ... until one of my polycule got a Royalty title. While all three were interrelated (a true triad), the royal pawn was perfectly happy with their three-person-bedroom; but after a divorce, when the relationship downgraded to a Vee, the royal pawn was suddenly unhappy with her bedroom.

(I had to kick the poor non-royal leg of the Vee out into his own bedroom! Poor guy is so lonely.)

4. Finally, it'd be kinda cool to have different "Polyamorous" traits for different forms of poly - relationship-anarchist, polyfidelity practitioners, etc. Some ideas for ones that I think would be fairly easy to implement. May be out-of-scope as well, I dunno!

Again, this mod is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing and y'all both deserve awards. Keep up the good work.
