Doesn’t sleeping and taking a maternity wait at the nursery fix that issue?
What drake said, but also even if you're a mother it doesn't help much if you've got a high pregnancy speed.

a few questions, how do i trigger maid anno, and how do i give syri my panties?

From the Wiki:
If the player has ever landed on Tavros or Uveto with Anno as a crew member (so she can buy the Maid Outfit), there is a 1/4 chance of Anno being up for some Maid roleplay when Steele approaches her in the crew menu:

  • Anno Maid Sex
    • Must not be Taur
    • Must not be Naga
    • Has Penis that fits

If Syri is Steele's lover (official fuck buddy), when landing on Mhen'ga, there is a 1/5 chance that she will appear and enter Steele's ship for some fun. Steele can choose to either:

  • Get Fucked - Have Syri fuck Steele in a vagina that fits or in the ass
  • Fuck Ass - Fuck Syri's butt
    • Has Penis
After this sex scene, Syri may leave behind her panties for Steele to take.

If Steele has Syri's panties and is wearing a pair of underwear with 0 or greater sexiness, Steele can give his/her own panties to Syri after having sex with Syri on Steele's ship (this will delete Steele's panties). Steele will receive an email from Syri 3 hours later containing only a video of Syri. The video can then be watched from the smut menu when choosing to masturbate while on Steele's ship.

Finished Gastigoth Pregnancy for Sam, Tam-Tam, and Khorgan. Very limited nursery stuff for Tam-Tam and Khorgan, and a smidge more for Sam. I decided to commission Night Trap for a bit more stuff for Tam-Tam and Khorgan, but that's for future content. I suspect Sam nursery expansions to come with her recruitment Xpack that Night Trap is working on, altho you'd have to ask him to be sure.

The Time Cheat I coded also works well to skip time for this, although not 100%. The 1st trimester email you receive for each pregnancy has some response options, and if you time skip past them to after the 2nd trimester one is sent there will be 2 whole words missing dependent on your response to the 1st email, nothing significant or game-breaking though.

Preg busts (that trigger a little after the 1st trimester) for the 3 are also working, as well as small variations for the sex scenes dependent on how pregnant they all are!

1,358 lines of code across 21 files to add 11 pages of content :negativeman:

It was fun, though. Haven't decided what I'm working on next quite yet.

Just some numbers for when people inevitably ask:
  • Khorgan: 150 day pregnancy, max 2 kids/preg
  • Tam-Tam: 240 day pregnancy, max 3 kids/preg
  • Sam: 180 day pregnancy, max 6 kids/preg
I took the pregnancy length and max kids numbers from the codex and asking Savin. The number of kids is basically determined by the PC's virility. I hand tailored some algorithms for them. The most difficult one of all virility-wise is giving Khorgan twins (altho there is a chance component to them all, you could have 1000000% virility and not get twins). There's no special content for lots of kids, just a few of the blurbs in the nursery are slightly different to match.

Are you still coding Willow?

Just went a few pages back in the event submissions section and saw you were coding her. I don't mean to be like "Why haven't you coded her?" Just curious.

*Six*, poor Sam, poor, poor Ausar moms everywhere

Bipedal mammals really aren't meant to carry more than triplets @.@
That is the norm size. Ausar mothers have what are commonly called 'litters' anyways.
From the codex itself:
Once impregnated, an Ausar female will carry a “litter” of up to six children for a period of six months before giving birth.
That is like the average amount of children for them, because they are pretty much like dogs irl outside of the fact that they're humanoid. So I doubt they are even suffering in the slightest.

@Emerald yes, but you missed the point they were making. While it's true we can't say for 100% that all upright bipedal aliens would follow the same trend as humans, humans are all we have to go on and what we know is that our upright stance has made pregnancy tougher on both mother and infant.

But this is super-soft space opera porn scifi and no one really cares about conforming to human biology.

They also have slightly increased lubrication and capacity, it says so when picking a female Ausar in character creation.

I coded the PC impregnating Ilaria the modded bunny baker on the Res Deck today. There's basically no nursery interactions, just a little message when you go to the computer, although there's a few variations with her while she's pregnant.

During my testing process I found a pretty nasty bug that made Prai and the Gastigoth Preg emails not save. I also made the Time Skip cheat much more accurate but much slower (From basically instant to requiring a second or two). I've imposed a 50 year time skip time limit to keep the processing time from being too excessive (if you have a shit computer 50 years could be slow still).

I'm gunna keep the pregnancy binger going and start working on Ellie Preg by Wsan. It's got a lot more to it than any of the other ones so it'll probably take awhile.

If I work quick though it'd be really neat to get 5 new Unique NPC pregnancies in one public patch.
Ellie knock-ups are gonna be Leithan/Half-Leithan exclusives, right? Oh, and while I'm at it - would there be a chance of NPC/NPC impregnation for Ellie if you do the taur threesome with...what's her name again, Haley? That Leithan in the barn on NT, anyways.

Non-lethians have to do a miniquest.

If you're not originally half-leithan you have to pay 100k for fertility treatment. No NPC/NPC preg in this. I guess it's hypothetically possible but someone would have to write it.

Upcast has been working on Ellie preg, and shared some debugging stuff on discord. It deserved to be memorialized.

What the shit am I looking at?!?!
Someone thought it would be a good idea to allow the PC to manually input names for Steele-Ellie spawn.

Then i suggested trying to input the text of Ellie's entire document.

Finished Ellie Preg finally. If you started half-leithan you have a 0-5% chance based on virility to knock her up without doing the fertility mini-quest. If you're no longer a taur and have <12in dick you can't do it though because she only lets you do anal then lol. Anyone can do the fertility quest, and if you started half-leithan and do it you get a massive bonus to knocking her up. 1 day after knocking her up she'll announce it to you when you approach her, and that gets the ball rolling. 40 days for her to lay the eggs, and then 30 for them to hatch. Both events require you to be there, you'll get notifications and shit to remind you. Once she's laid the eggs she'll cycle between her gift shop and the nursery every 3 days forever. There are special interactions if you visit your kids while she's also at the nursery.

Gunna see if I can sneak in one of the smaller Hween submissions before the (second) pubby patch hits.

You have to get Ellie's affection decently high (via sex or talking to her) and have talked to her about her pheromones to unlock the option to talk about the Fertility Treatment. To actually go through with the treatment, you have to have met Dr. Lessau on Uveto and have 100k credits to pay for it. Then you get to go on a fun space-trip with Ellie. Once you're back on NT, you can knock her up.

I'm not sure if I hate the idea of a cap on what one's virility can get you to without the quest or not. Though that just might be me and my tendency to shovel whole pharmacies worth of fertility and virility drugs down my Steele's throat.

Does the half-leithan prerequisite mean having it as your starting race flag or at least being half-leithan in general, like with the use of a Leithan Charm? Just asking for a clarification there.
