eating infants for nutrition/population control

[makingze]

(sorry for posting so much i cant help myself) i just had this idea recently, what if your creatures could eat infants?

the idea is that a creature could eat an infant and add some food points to their tribe (1-2) depending on the infant's body type, lean body or medium body giving less food than big body would or give the creature that ate it an extra energy point if they are missing one (it wouldn't take an energy point unless the creature is missing no energy)

in order to prevent people from just eating every unwanted child they have, the creature (mother) on the nest is the only one able to and they'll receive some sort of status effect that prevents them from eating another for a period of time

some animals do this in real life and i think it'll add a bit of realism of how some animals eat their babies in desperation or simply for population control

I just don't think the suggestion would be right for the game. I mean, sometimes it happens in real life, but like....

Yes!

I would like to add that this should only happen to omega infants, to avoid tragic mistakes.

It's very very old, but it's been suggested before. Not the eating part, though!

Because a lot of kids play niche and the idea of eating babies is kinda dark

but its a game, and its based on reality. and theres killing/death in it already.
