I'll "briefly" sum my arguments for seperating children & reproduction:
- Babies and children are dramatically different. Babies have no learning, they can't move, they have baby-exclusive food and items, they are completely seperate in the pawn generation screen. Babies are a better fit to pair with reproduction than children are, because they are what you directly get from reproduction.
- Children can be obtained outside of pregnancy. Quests can spawn with child pawns recruitable. As far as I can tell, this is not true for babies.
- Massive pages are clunky to read. For example, if I wanted to know about psyfocus, I would have to load the entire psycast page, and can't really scroll or skim through it - lest i miss the section.
- There is a substantial amount of information and analysis for pregnancy / baby growing and preventing pregnancy. There is a substantial amount of analysis for children raising. Both analysis sections are totally unrelated to each other.
Basically, children and babies act and feel like 2 entirely seperate systems, so deserve their seperate pages. "Children and reproduction" makes no sense when you can get children 100% outside of reproduction.
