Suggestion: Broken Printer mode (Endless Dupes!)

[Sasuga]

The printer is broken, we can't turn it off! ... It has Nuetronium under it...

You begin with one Dupe of your choice, randomly generated the way you pick the three starting dupes now. Then, every 3 cycles the printing pod spits out a new dupe. No selecting, no choice. See how long you can survive!

This a nice idea for a challenge mode. Maybe somebody could make a mod for that.

Btw: suggestions have their own forum. You should have put it there instead of general.

...until every player will construct their own gas chambers.

The thing is, i could cheese it by putting new prints inside a room to die. We call it population control. Cool idea though.

I'd say this is grim, but then, having dead dupes drop meat would be *really* grim...

Perhaps having a dupe die should result in a "mourning period" of +1 tier of morale for 7-8 cycles (meaning, their expectations go up by 1 tier so that the morale penalty scales non-linearly).

Having dupes die does cause a morale loss.

I guess I'm proud to say that I have not experienced this personally as of yet.

Any idea if it stacks or it's just a general debuff? I remember a while back, before the morale changes, they'd get a stress debuff for observing a body.

I meant it as a challenge mode idea, and didn't realize I wasn't in the suggestion thread. I didn't mean this as 'regular survival mode' play.
