Human resources

Cannibalism. Slavery. Human Skin Clothing. Corpses. By default most pawns have a severe distaste for these actions. Committing them - even in dire or justified cases - will have relevant negative mood penalties.

In dire circumstances it may be necessary to use every resource, even the human ones. A number of traits can make this feasible as a core strategy for a colony. Some might even make it the preferable way.

Traits

Note that all the above traits can be combined. No penalty + As Normal results in no Penalty. As normal + Bonus means No Penalty and a Bonus.

Any of the 3 traits are suitable for butchering Humanlikes. However if the like the products produced from that Butchering is another question altogether.

Psychopath

Has no issues seeing corpses or butchering them but still suffers penalties from eating Flesh or wearing Skin Clothing. However, he has no qualms about slavery and organ harvesting.

Bloodlust

The only one who doesn't mind seeing Rotting Corpses and also likes Human Skin Clothing. Does not like Human Flesh, Organ Harvesting and Slavery however.

Cannibal

Really likes to eat human flesh and also likes the clothing made from skin. Does not like Slavery or Organ Harvesting, however.
