>game basically ends before the kid even starts walking
Most of my colonies last 10+ years.
I never race to an ending. There's no point in it for me. The fun of the game is building an efficient colony, not in completing events or progressing the story. Sometimes I focus on base building and researching to get to recon and marine armor and advanced fabrication ASAP before even bothering to pursue relics or activate a monolith.
Creating a generation of OP pawns with amazing traits and passions then packing them with xenogenes and bodymods before throwing masterwork equipment on them is the same as starting with a single-building base and slowly building it up to be a massive compound.
