# Reproduction

To allow more players to join the game, owners of the Genesis Male Pirate and the Genesis Female Pirate will be able to create a Young Pirate and then use them for their own needs, rent them or sell them to another player.

**Reproduction requires the following:**

• Own the Genesis Male Pirate. \
• Own the Genesis Female Pirate \
• A building that allows reproduction \
• Spend a certain amount of $RUM tokens. \
• Wait the required amount of time

The amount of **$RUM** tokens issued is determined by the **PIRATE REPUBLIC**, however, it cannot be less than the equivalent of $10.

The reproduction of a pirate takes place in two stages: <mark style="color:purple;">Mating</mark> and <mark style="color:purple;">Raising Offspring</mark>. The time required for <mark style="color:purple;">Mating</mark>, depends on the type of building chosen for the reproduction process. At the end of the mating period, the Genesis Male Pirate can be assigned to another task, in turn, the Female Genesis Pirate moves to the second stage: <mark style="color:green;">Parenting</mark>

Sometimes, in exceptional situations, more than one offspring will be born.
