Short answer: patch 0.1.7 rebalanced lifespans on August 10, 2026. The exact table below is a pre-0.1.7 launch snapshot, not a current calculator; use the current game settings for today's values.
Current lifespan status
The official 0.1.7 notes say adult stages gained days, stages through Pre-Teen were shortened, and average lifespan moved from 98 to 112 days. The notes do not publish a complete stage-by-stage table, so this site cannot safely infer the new Short, Normal, and Long values.
Historical launch table
Do not use these values as current after patch 0.1.7. They are retained to make the source history auditable and to show exactly which rows still need an in-game recheck.
Historical launch snapshot: patch 0.1.7 superseded these values. The linked date identifies the old source check, not current verification.

| Toddler | 2 days | 4 days | 17 days | 2026-05-25 |
| Child | 5 days | 11 days | 47 days | 2026-05-25 |

| Teen | 6 days | 13 days | 55 days | 2026-05-25 |
| Young Adult | 10 days | 21 days | 87 days | 2026-05-25 |
| Adult | 9 days | 19 days | 79 days | 2026-05-25 |
| Elder | 6 days | 13 days | 55 days | 2026-05-25 |
How to use the table
Use the table only when comparing an unpatched launch-era save or reproducing the old source. For current family planning, read the values shown by your installed build.
Aging settings
Use the current options menu to review lifespan and aging controls. Exact labels and values can move between Early Access patches, so this guide does not claim a current toggle name.
Age and life stage cheats
The main age commands are:
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
setage [number] | Sets the selected Para to a numeric age. |
nextlifestage | Moves the selected Para to the next life stage. |
previouslifestage | Moves the selected Para to the previous life stage. |
printage | Prints the selected Para's current age. |
Save before testing
If you experiment with aging settings, keep a backup save.

FAQ
How many life stages are listed?
The historical table lists 8 life stages. It does not prove the current day count for each stage.
Which lifespan settings are shown?
Short, Normal, and Long launch-era day counts are shown, with an outdated-data warning.
Can aging be stopped?
Aging controls are handled through options. The exact menu label should be confirmed in-game because Early Access settings can move or be renamed.
Can life stage values change?
Yes. Patch 0.1.7 already changed them, which is why the old exact values are marked historical.
Current-status review: 2026-08-29. Exact post-0.1.7 stage values remain unverified.
