It’s a tricky one, probably say not to take it, as right now it doesn’t sound like too much ground has been broken in terms of mining and it’s related topics and so it’d probably just be a reiteration of what has already been answered a few times.
Couldn’t you just downsize the model and turn babies into something equivalent in AI abilities to a tool in someone’s hand, maybe make a class called “mother” for babies that simply holds a baby a and after specific time they act like a “pet” that’s been reskined, it has the potential for being a mod
I think that might be where it finds itself.
It seems like they’re a difficult thing to manage and if not done right you potentially have useless units running around, you’d have to give them some sort of functionality and gameplay mechanic that makes them worthwhile.

Well, it promises more workers in the future and obviously after X amount of time the “mother” unit becomes whatever the unit was before
Honestly, the thing I want to know most out of this is what the plural for Nautilus is. Nautililusses? Nautilusii? Nautilusius?
agreed… the submission round remains open! one last question before we lock this up, and submit to Radiant… 
note: there are a few questions with four votes currently… 
Will there be soil erosion?
Will certain crops degrade certain types of soil, will soil become less productive as time goes on, etc.
Also:
Wombat Evolution Theory, guys!

Nautili, I believe but I have no idea what aNautilus is anyway…
@SteveAdamo Check @Teleros’s question it’s reached 5 votes, sorry if this post is sloppy. On a phone currently.
Edit: @Geoffers747 I beleive Steve may have been forcibly separated from his PC due to either real life commitment or injury.
There is no textures on Stonehearth, there are voxels which are cubes of a certain color. So no there will not be texture packs but you can make new models to reskin the game.
Yeah @SteveAdamo @EpicDwarf’s question about textures has been answered previously. The only question would be if you can use the horde stuff to do textures as everything else is known with certainty.
thanks… I’ll review the questions in he AM… perhaps we’ll have a +1 this round again… 
ok, i think we have our list… we’ll take @Didis’s question as #5 (and slightly reword it in regards to the types of building options Team Radiant has in mind, and where they are in the development process)
i think we can also just toss in @tkh’s question, as it did receive a good number of votes… we’ll just add it as a “bonus question”, asking for any follow-up the team might have in regards to the current state of mining, and future mining mechanics… 
i’ll get these collected and submitted to @sdee this morning… 
edit: questions (slightly formatted) and submitted… thanks again to everyone for participating!
