Android tiers - TX Series
Neutral TX android spawns as child of colony pawns. But Why?
Forgive me if this issue has already been discussed, but a quick scan of the discussion titles didn't seem to show anyone raising this issue before (it might also instead be a bug in the normal android tiers supra-mod). I had a neutral faction TX android spawn as the child of some of the pawns in my colony, even though clearly people pawns can't have android babies (and wasn't a skinned TX series, was clearly the metal kind). Putting aside the emergent story telling of some TX android "claiming" to be the child of some colonists, the android shows in the social tab as an actual child (son) of both colonists? Is this a bug in the framework that just allows for pawns to have androids as kids or is this something hard-coded where any type of pawn can end up being the child/parent of any other pawn?

Of course, this could also be (nominally) fixed by having androids who spawn as children be considered "fake" children, and the colony pawns could have either positive, neutral or negative social interactions based on personality traits... unless the TX android was skinned, then treated as a normal child until THE BIG REVEAL. Dunno what social repercussions would follow, but prolly interesting!

In any case, I also posted basically this same question in the Android Tiers supra-mod discussions, figured it was either a bug in one of these two mods or just some hardcoded issue.
