== Disposal == | == Disposal == | ||
− | + | Corpses can be disposed in three ways (the three b's): Butchering, Burying, and Burning. Generally, burning with incendiary weapons is the best way to dispose of human and rotten corpses, and butchering is the best way of disposing of animal corpses. Butchering can also be alternatively used for disposing of human corpses, but gives a negative moodlet. | |
+ | === Butchering === | ||
+ | Corpses can be butchered at a [[butcher spot]] or [[butcher table]] by a pawn assigned to [[Menus#Cook|cooking]]. | ||
− | + | Butchered corpses produce meat and [[leather]]. | |
− | |||
− | + | Butchering a human corpse places a negative [[Thoughts#We butchered humanlike|We butchered humanlike]] thought over the entire colony, and the butcherer will also suffer a [[Thoughts#I butchered humanlike|I butchered humanlike]] thought. Colonists with the Bloodlust, Cannibal or Psychopath trait, however, are immune to these (See [[Human Resources]]) | |

+ | Corpses can be burnt in an [[electric crematorium]]. | ||
− | [[ | + | A cheaper way of burning corpses is to use weapons that produce fire, such as [[molotov cocktail]]s or [[incendiary launcher]]s. These can be manually-targeted at corpses to set them on fire. A walled-off corpse [[Stockpile zone|stockpile]] can dispose of multiple corpses at once. If the temperature outside is low, one can build a small fireproof room somewhere inside and burn unwanted corpses or tainted apparel there to create some heat in addition to corpse disposal. The door can be left open for faster heat transfer, but make sure that noone is allowed to enter and there is nothing flammable close to it. A colonist with the appropriate trait should handle human corpses to avoid negative mood effects. |
