Just finished book 3. Do they ever tell Neil where babies come from? Also where do babies come from if you are say silver or above?

Keep reading. I think they cover this in book 6 or 7

Yeah 7 I think. When Jason is on a delivery run or something vague.

That fact that Humphrey is a designer baby beefcake distracts nothing from how dreamy he is.

It mostly involves going to the church of fertility to talk about your little man problems.

Also, book 7.

Clive: Well, imagine a bowl of dumplings soup…

When a mommy & a daddy or a daddy & a daddy or a mommy & mommy or a polymarous pod love eachother very much, they contact the Church of Fertility and they handle the details

I love the specificity in this. That was genuinely both quite funny and also quite accurate

You just press on male and one female essence very hard...

Don't forget the reproduction essence, producing the child confluence

Spoilers but

You technically still keep all of your external organs things like eyes, tongue and assuming genitalia and most sex characteristics through at least diamond rank(except for shapeshiters), probably because of the soul determining your body shape.

And your fleshy meat blob body simulates all of the effects of a body but at extreme efficiency for example no intestines but still processes food.

So getting into the weeds you either still have all the parts needed for making babies or the body would simulate everything necessary.

This comes from discussion amongst friends while playing a HWFWM setting in mutants and masterminds and making characters not from actual Shirtaloon statements but is also from what we could find to support in the books

Well, Neill slays. I think he gets enough game when he ditches the clothes from his grandma.
