Just a comment here to vent about 10 of my female Master Scientst. It was so peculiar that I am sitting watching them work & then out of the blue 1 by 1, 10 of my Master Sientist are carrying babies. DAH-- no going to the love hut just poof--they all have babies. I was curious if anyone else had this happen?

No, I never had that!!
Are you sure that there is not, some where in the village, a male villager who could be checked as parent?

That has happened to me when I was "keeping" villagers on task at the research table, by continuously dropping those who would walk away back to the table.

A couple of times doing this, when the table/lab was really full, I couldn't tell that a few of them got the wrong idea, and when they were walking off to the Lovely Hut I thought they were just going off task. When I picked the ladies up, POOF there was the kid!
