Childcare is exhausting...
So I recently started a new colony, I wanted to make a race of goblins that bred fast but died young. I got my wish a little too much.
Everyone hooks up within the first week, immediately we get like 3 pregnancies. Nothing I can't handle hopefully.
Wrong. Turns out twins were delivered. So now I have an army of babies to feed whilst also trying to run an entire colony.
Everyone is having mental break, we're constantly getting the flu, resources are dwindling because the farmers are too busy feeding babies.
Eventually with a heavy heart I realise the colony will likely crumble like this, so I order our soldier to.....stab his infant daughter to death. In the hopes that the reduced load will prevent a gameover.
It fucking works. Everyone is a lot happier, even the parents of the deceased kid. They dug her up a couple times which is messed up, but things are looking on the up.
