🌱 Growth Tier System Explained
In vanilla RimWorld, when a child reaches a Growth Moment, they gain some Passions and Traits —
but the amount and variety are fixed and not customizable.
This mod lets you take full control of those parameters.
Each growth tier has its own settings, defined as follows:
new GrowthUtility.GrowthTier(index, XPRequired, new ByteRange(PassionGainsMin, PassionGainsMax), PassionChoices, TraitGains, TraitChoices)
In short, each line defines one “growth stage.”
As children grow older, they get more options and more meaningful choices.
