A grave provides a place to bury corpses. Graves can be constructed without need of materials. The default storage setting only allows human corpses, but can be set to accept animals, strangers or mechanoids. A body can be removed (hauled) from a grave with the 'Open' command. Deconstructing will also release the buried.

Effects

  • Unburied human corpses trigger 'observed corpse' negative thought for passersbys.
  • Unburied colonist bodies trigger the 'colonist left unburied' negative thought.
  • Unburied corpses have -150 beauty, resulting in an ugly environment.
  • Colonists visiting graves of fellow members gain a recreation boost.

Graves cannot be stood on, though they can be walked through. This allows tactical usage by positioning graves to prevent enemies from standing on some locations.

Trivia

  • Until Alpha 4, there used to be another version called Gibbet cage which caused mood debuff (Fear) to characters passing nearby.
