Mating system?

[Joizaak]

Hi all!!! New to the community and very amazed by how developers listen to us the gamers!!! 

I suggest a mating system were you would be able to also generate dupes by combining them. This is an option that would allow the minimum use of the cloning device/portal or to extend its availability time, instead of 3.4 cycles (correct me if wrong) you can make it every 5 cycles. Also to increase difficulty in the game you can increase the waiting period between new dupe availability, let's say for each new dupe you select, you would have to wait 1.5 cycles more until the following selection.

 

But a mating system would be really cool, because, hey... The dupes should have feelings for each other, they are human after all, or not?

They're just duplicants, clones, copies... expendable.

But it is contradicting to have dupes that feel uncomfortable and not have feelings for each other. It would make even more sense if they have feelings for each other, since they have feelings for their environment or the environment influences their stress level. Also when they die they have feelings for the dead, why not have feelings for the living?

Why not have a compatibility measurement or tracker. Dupes that coexist better with some type of dupes. That would be very interesting in how their stress level would be affected and their overall performance. I think like a mental tracker should be added, like Don't Starve.
