Deathrest Pauses Biological Age

Deathrest Pauses Biological Age mod preview for RimWorld

In base Rimworld, children do not gain growth score during deathrest; this avoids an exploit in which a player could bring a child up to a maximum learning need and then suspend it, gaining high growth for no effort.

In base Rimworld, children do not gain growth score during deathrest; this avoids an exploit in which a player could bring a child up to a maximum learning need and then suspend it, gaining high growth for no effort. However, this mechanic has the side-effect of disadvantaging deathresting children, as there are many days where they could be learning, but are instead forced to undertake deathrest.

This mod avoids both problems by pausing biological age progression during deathrest. This change allows children to have the same total time to increase their growth score. Also, I feel like it just makes sense.
