Which NPCs would you most like to have preg content?

It'd be nice if Venus Pitchers could get butts preggers.

I love the idea of detailed pregnancy and it's effects on characters in concept.

However, in practice it makes for the game Trials in Sterile Space since no one is actually working on bringing that concept to life. This makes it that Steele is shooting Litres of what is effectively water and breaks immersion more than Pregnancy the Clicker. No venom in the cobra so to speak ruins the excitement for many especially with how the game presents itself.

Imo, a general system with character related flavor text is probably a better solution for most characters who's developers have no interest in it than none at all. And for those that do want to pull out all the stops to use it in character development, they can opt out and handle it as they want.
Not gonna happen. If an author doesn't want their character to have kids then forcing a generic and simple one won't go over easy. We already have some people in the community that have issues with "knock-up and move on" or "abandon my child to the aliens" situations. They are allowed to feel that way, and despite not being creators of the content that can and does paint the game in a negative light. What preg content there is is tailored around either "I want my child to survive/Spread my kind" or very intimate "I know you'll be around/take care of us" situations and also on the characters own ambitions and/or insecurities.

At first I thought this was just focusing on the major named characters but I think its also striking on the unnamed encounters. Yeah, it is a bit of a buzzkill to play a female character that recklessly rides male zil cocks for instance without fears of the consequences for such actions. Also, this game has a better management system for the children than CoC did. Most of the CoC children would leave after birth with the exceptions of those born by certain camp npcs. In this game though we have the nursery that you can visit at any time. That means Steele can be a parent and keep tabs on the children in this game. We just have to wait for the authors to add pregnancy content for the general enemy encounters that are already in game. Also, some of the newer content does indeed support pregnancy. Its the older areas that kinda lack the support though and it is kinda jarring because you have to rush through those zones to get to Myrellion where most of the present content is contained. Yeah, there are the cuntsnakes and pitcher plants but that's about it until that point.

Is there even any real reason why they can't? I mean, they just put a seed inside of you, after all. Shouldn't really matter if it's pressed up the vagoo or the bum. Unless there's something about the seed *needing* to be swimming in cunt-juice, or some shit.

To be fair it'd probably be easier for the seeds to access major blood vessels (you know, for nutrients and stuff) via the uterus than through the intestine, but then this is a game where alien species can crossbreed and most alien species look humanoid, so...

To be fair, the humanoid aspect can be explained by convergent evolution. At least flimsily.

Also interbreeding, if it's not just running off of porn logic, is probably thanks to precursors. That or something to do with psionics or whatever the fuck the "tainted" part of this game is supposed to be. I'll eat my headset if none of those are the explanation.

Oh god, now I will never be able to see that scene and not think of blood-sucking parasites!

Interbreeding can be explained by nanomachines and gene-modding. As for the "Taint" the Kashima incident looks pretty tainted.

About precursors and convergent evolution; they can go the Star Trek way to explain why species can interbreed, saying there was an original very ancient species that seeded many worlds with their own modified DNA, so most sapient species come from their little experiment.

The "taint" as has been explained across various forum posts and chat logs is an interstellar infestation of ancient nanobots that incur random mutations, this sector of space being endgame and quarantined from regular civilian traffic by the UGC. Whether this is going to change or not based on how mechanically feasible it is, who knows.

And whether we'll see it before 2020, who knows.

What do you think a pregnancy is?

Apologies for ruining the scene for you, though :(

Ooh, interesting! I sure hope this gets in the game :D

Not parasitic in nature.
Yeah, but the embryo/fetus' nutrients do come from the pregnant person's blood. Also, by the links definition, none of the pregnancies in game are truly parasitic in nature? Except maybe the tentacle monster's

Hyperbole at it's finest, my little Eeveelution.
I sincerely did not mean to spoil any scene for anyone *ribbontacles wiggle apologetically*

Babies are not parasites for the same reason Pluto is not a planet, but yeah, they are basically parasites, we just adapted the definition to exclude them.
Actually stem cells from the Foetus have been shown to turn up in the mothers heart

Except if we are going to call Pluto a planet we'd have to also call it's co-orbiter (both of them orbit around a point somewhere between them, not Charon around Pluto) "moon" Charon a planet, as well as, the other dwarf planets Eris, Ceres, Huamea ect. as planets too. And not to mention all the natural satellites orbiting around planets; they'd be planets too. So better reclassify one object than having a the definition of "planet" be needlessly confusing.

And considering what you wrote I have to ask: Have you read the linked article?

Well since the original meaning of planet was just "wandering star", depending on how you look at it either none of the planets/dwarf-planets/moons/asteroids are planets since they aren't actually stars, or only asteroids knocked off course and comets are planets since they wander about the Solar System. Really it's a confusing mess depending on where you draw your line in the sand.

Anyway, back on topic, I'd like some more preg content that doesn't take months on end to get. Or at least more perks that speed the process up a bit, currently all I got to speed things along is the "Incubator" perk, which does help but simply isn't enough for some of the longer pregnancies.

My argument was not to be taken literally to the point of arguing about planets. It was an example on how scientists can call one thing different than the other just because we are the one making up the rules.

Yes, I read the article, it's interesting, but that doesn't mean it's entirely accurate. I don't blame the author, trying to explain biology in layman's terms is hard without oversimplifying. For example, saying that pregnancy increases fitness is just plain wrong and you don't need to be a biologist to notice that.

The relationship between fetus and mother is somewhat in between mutualism and parasitism if we take into account all factors, it's not a true parasite, but it's not a true mutualist either. To oversimplify, which I said it's not a good idea, but anyway, mutualism is considered a relationship that benefits both individuals, parasitism benefits one at the expense of another, pregnancies are a bit of both.

Bess/Ben is such a massive clusterfuck and their writer has left so nobody wants to touch them with a 11' dick.

You could write a bess/ben getting you pregnant scene. Just couldn't have bess/ben acknowledge anything about it (never mind the fact that they have artifical cum and if it actually contains sperm)

There were plans for Bess/Ben to get upgraded so that their cum is real and/or that their womb can produce life, but like all things involving Jim's stuff, that's been lost to the aether.
