This mod decreases how fast children learn skills, which **increases** overall difficulty.

Specifically intended to be used with 100% child growth rate difficulty settings (Default is 400%, where children age 4x as fast as adults).

**Not** intended for a normal playthrough unless you like suffering.

Modifies Global Learning Factor for children, pre-teens and teens so that they learn skills slower. This is a global modifier on top of traits, genetics, backstories, and passions. Safe to add mid-play and safe to remove mid-play.

~~~

Global Learning Factors as follows:

- Babies (Age 0 - 3) = 0% (babies cannot learn anyway)
- Children (Age 3-8) = 25%
- Pre-Teenagers (Age 9-12) = 50%
- Teenagers (Age 13-17) = 75%
- Adults (Age 18+) = 100% (Unaffected)

~~~

Examples:

Child with Burning Passion = 38% learning rate (vs adult 150%)
- 100% base
- 150% for burning passion
- 25% global modifier for child

Pre-Teenager with Passion = 50% learning rate (vs adult 100%)
- 100% basevalue
- 100% for passion
- 50% global modifier for preteen

Teenager with Too Smart (or Fast Learner) and Burning Passion = 197% (vs adult 262.5%)
- 100% base
- 150% for burning passion
- 131% for Too Smart + Teenager (175% x 75%)

Neanderthal Child with NO passion and Slow Learning - 2.2% learning rate (vs adult 8.8%)
- 100% base
- 35% for NO passion
- 6.2% for Slow Learner + Child (25% x 25%)

* Rimworld Biotech DLC

Mod compatibility:

I make no promises that this is compatible with other mods, especially other mods that modify pawn global learning factor.
