Reason: Update mod to version: 03.01.22

Children are born 15 years old [configurable].

This mod does not claim realism, I just liked the way this was implemented in the old game 'Diggles: The Myth of Fenris'
Pregnancy functions the same as with animals [chance configurable]. The looks of the child are based on the parents (Partially for AlienRaces)
Children 'inherit' skills from the parents [configurable], but have random passions and traits
Birth control 'drug' can be crafted and given a schedule (needs a newly created drug policy in running game to show up, one pill lasts 5 days, can be added with 'Prepare Carefully' under medical, bought or produced with 'Drug production' and 'Medicine production' research in the 'Drug Lab' like medicine)
Children are born after 45 days(15 days early-stage (not visible, but chance to vomit) / 15 days middle-stage / 15 days late-stage) (these are unchanged base-game values! There is now an option to modify this without having to change the base game or mod files)
Artificial pregnancy through a medical operation (if the colonist has a partner/lover they are used, but it is also possible to have a pregnancy without a partner) (two female partners or an unfertile father can have a child through this) Needs better than herbal medicine
Discover pregnancy operation - pregnancy is normally not visible for the first third of its duration (base game behavior, but can now also be disabled in the options for colonists)
Remove pregnancy operation

Includes a blackboard and school-table where skilled pawns can teach different subjects.

There is now a new schedule-tab for each blackboard and school-table
Rooms now also influence XP learned with items relevant to each subject
(teacher and room factors can be seen in the new schedule-tab)
Students can learn 1 year until they are 16 [configurable]
Teachers should have the intellectual skill at a decent level (3-5 or higher, otherwise they teach less) + a high level in the tought subject (around 7 for most, probably needs balancing)
You can set up certain times in which school activities get higher priority over the normal work

Materials needed to study:

(See also Si-Cafe's patch to remove these below)

Can be added to a running game / save!

Removing the mod:

With the game and save loaded, go to the bottom of the mod-options for this mod and click 'remove the mod'
If you have removed the mod by accident and are stuck with a black/grey screen after loading - there is an experimental option to try to fix the map (will loose defined areas [like home, roof etc.] enable 'Try to fix map' at the bottom of the mod-options before loading the save - after that you can properly remove the mod)
