Nice, Mod manager has arrived! One question though. Why can I disable Rayya’s children, but not their UI?
The Rayya’s Children UI is “deferred load”, meaning it isn’t run until called by something else. In this case, the main Rayya’s Children mod launches the UI. You can’t disable the UI as it would cause issues if you try to run Rayya’s Children without it, and it can’t launch on its own.
Does that make any sense?

Oh, I can share the basics of what’s in it:
- Major updates for Rayya’s Children
- New templates for both tier 1 & tier 2
- Tier 2 quest for RC
- RC specific music for both tier 1 & tier 2
- New traders
- Hearthling interactions with speech bubbles (currently blank, share ideas for filling them in here)
- New Mod Manager (in-game enabling/disabling of mods)
- Ladders and Scaffolding no longer require wood
- Hearthlings build more than one block at a time
That’s most of it. There are likely many more improvements and fixes, need to wait for the post from the team for the rest.

wholeheartedly seconded! I was casually skimming the update text and then immediately snapped to attention at the mention of new music! 
all hail Rayya’s Children!

The multiple blocks at a time threw me at first… but it makes building soooo much faster. The only issue I saw was there is some floating blocks for a bit while they build the roof.
Great update so far!
hmm… not sure how i feel about this…
personally i think "all hail @Raj " would be more fitting

I was equally concerned about this, and the fact that Hearthlings can build multiple blocks at a time. However, playing A19 a bit last night I can say that I really appreciate the faster building, especially for complicated and/or large structures. Getting stuck Hearthlings out without waiting for another Hearthling to run across the map is really nice, although it does break a bit of the immersion when that happens and there’s no wood around.
I think we have a screwed view of this because we’ve been here during a time when wood was required. I think new players coming in won’t notice a thing, and we’ll happilly forget that this was ever a thing a few alphas from now.

Btw, militia has been removed.
It’s possible that a half-measure could be implemented. For example, why not add 2-5 wood to the base cost of any building? That way when hearthlings build it, it’s as though they’re pulling from the pre-planned amount that they budgeted for scaffolding and ladders.

Hey there @APGames, welcome to the Discourse 
!
It’s a neat idea, but I’m curious how it would work for clay buildings? Would there be a wood cost even if no wood is in the design?

This has come up before, so I want to nip it in the bud - there are no plans or children in the game. The team has shared that children adds huge complexity in generating the ESRB rating.
