Editing Human resources

{{Move|reason=With [[Slavery]] page needed with Ideology, this page might be better as a directory & summary and the info split up to individual pages}}  
{{TOCright}}
'''[[Human meat|Cannibalism]]''', '''slavery''', wearing '''[[Human leather|human skin]]''', '''corpses''': most pawns have a severe distaste for these things.  If you let them happen in your colony it will impart significant [[mood]] penalties on many colonists.

In dire circumstances it can 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==
The three [[traits]] below make a colonist react indifferently or even enthusiastic towards human abuse.
If there is more than one of the traits on the same person, the most beneficial one applies (e.g. a Cannibal will always receive +20 mood per day by eating raw human flesh, no matter what other traits that colonist has).
Any of the traits remove the penalty from butchering humans. 

=== Psychopath ===
Has no issues seeing corpses or butchering them but still suffers penalties from eating human flesh or wearing human skin clothing.  Has no qualms about slavery and organ harvesting.

=== Bloodlust ===
The only one who doesn't mind seeing rotting corpses; likes to wear human skin. Does not like cannibalism or slavery.
Does not mind wearing ''tainted'' apparel (ie. taken from a dead body).
=== Cannibal ===
Loves to eat human flesh and also likes clothing made from skin. Does not like slavery or organ harvesting.

== Strategy ==
===Human Butchering===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of butchering humans needed}}
Butchering humans may be either used as a last resort in a normal colony, or used as a nice mood buff for cannibals. Human [[meat]] is absolutely disgusting for non-cannibals (see above for mood debuffs), but to cannibals, raw flesh is even better than a [[lavish meal]]. In normal, non-cannibalistic colonies, human flesh can be kept for cannibals, but sometimes butchering humans is not worth the effort (trading a colony-wide -6 for a +10 or +20 for a few or single colonist). If people are butchered, they should be butchered together, as the mood debuff does not stack. It can also be kept as a last resort food, such as during a famine or a toxic fallout. Anyhow, corpses should be only hauled and butchered by colonists who don't care about corpses, and stored in shelves to stop non-sociopathic colonists from seeing the corpse before it is butchered.

===Slavery===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Cost analysis of sale vs harvesting needed}}
{{Main|Slavery}}

Slavery in Core RimWorld is the [[trade|sale]] of [[prisoner]]s to other factions. It is a quick way to get decent amounts of money quickly. Pawns will suffer a mood penalty of -3, stacking up to -15 for 4 days once slaves are sold. Unless you have a colony of [[Trait#Psychopath|psychopaths]], selling slaves can cause result in significant [[mood]] issues and [[mental break]]s. Besides the trait, there is no way to prevent the negative moodlet in core RimWorld, however like all mood debuffs, there are strategies to mitigate its effect.

One way of dealing with this is to sell only 1-2 slaves every 4 days, keeping the mood debuff small, and easily managed by measures such as temporarily upgrading to [[lavish meal]]s, allowing or increasing [[drug]] consumption, or simply tanking the mood debuff if the base mood of the colony is already high. This slow process has a downside, however. Traders generally only stay for around two days, and only appear occasionally, meaning either pawns will have to caravan the slaves to nearby [[faction base]]s for trade, or that it will be hard making slavery the main source of profit for the colony.

Alternatively, as the penalty caps out at a stack of 5, selling more than 5 prisoners does not increase the debuff further. Thus, selling in a single burst can be more efficient so long as the larger debuff can be withstood. Timing the sale with the occurance of a wedding or party for example can help. Slaves can be stored in [[cryptosleep casket]]s to eliminate their upkeep cost while waiting to sell them. Note that prisoners must generally be anaesthetized to do so, and after removing them from the casket they will take some time to both wake up and fully recover which can affect both whether they can be sold and their price. Plan ahead to give them time to recover before their time of sale.

Pawns will have a significant [[Social|negative opinion]] of whoever sells the slaves. 

Humans have a base value of {{icon small|silver}} {{Q|Human|Market Value Base #}}. This is reduced and increased by various traits, reduced by injuries and ailments, and increased by the presence of bionics. The exact variables and their effect is still in need of analysis but at a certain point harvesting a prisoner for their organs can be significantly more profitable. Note however that the debuff lasts longer for organ harvesting, though it is similar in magnitude at the maximum stack sizes for both debuff types. Butchering the resulting corpse for leather and meat can increase the profit, though at the cost of incurring another debuff. Also note that the slavery, harvesting and butchery debuffs stack - ideally only slavery or harvesting should be selected in colonies not exclusively populated with psychopath or bloodlust pawns.

==== Slavery with Ideology ====

With the [[Ideology DLC]], slaves become controllable workers. Slaves are acquired through threatening prisoners and dropping their will down to zero. Although slaves are controllable and appear in the colonist bar, they work at 85% speed and you run the risk of a slave rebellion, similar to a prison break. The frequency of slave rebellions are determined by [[mood]], [[suppression]], proximity of weapons, and the presence of colonists. Unlike prisoners, colonists and slaves can have intimate relationships. Colonists and slaves cannot sleep in the same bed, but they can sleep in the same room. If you want the two to sleep together, both must be made into colonists or slaves.

===Organ Harvesting===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Proper analysis of advantages and disadvantages of organ harvesting and organ murdering needed inc mood management and mood vs profit}}
{{See also|Surgery|Medical Surgery Success Chance}}
Organ harvesting requires a doctor and 2 units of [[herbal medicine]] or better.

The [[Heart]], [[Lung]]s, [[Kidney]]s and [[Liver]] are options for harvesting. If willing to organ-murder the donor, the optimum is removing:
* 1x Lung worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}}
* 1x Kidney worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}}
* 1x Heart worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}} by installing a cheap [[prosthetic heart]] to replace the harvested one (- {{icon|silver|{{Q|Prosthetic heart|Market Value Base}}}})
* 1x Liver worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}}
For a total of {{icon|silver|{{#expr:{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}}}} + {{icon|silver|{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}} + {{icon|silver|{{Q|Liver|Market Value Base}}}} + {{icon|silver|{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}} - {{icon|silver|{{Q|Prosthetic heart|Market Value Base}}}}, or {{icon|silver}} 1420.

If the heart is damaged, the liver can also be supplemented for the same value. If that is also unavailable, the second lung and then the second kidney are the optimal options.
If on a component shortage, the prosthetic heart method may not be available.
Removing the heart (unless by installing a prosthetic heart), liver, second lung or second kidney are all fatal and prevent further harvesting. 

If unwilling to organ murder the donor, the best option is harvesting the
* 1x Lung worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}}}}
* 1x Kidney worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}}
* 1x Heart worth {{icon|silver|{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}} by installing a cheap [[prosthetic heart]] to replace the harvested one (- {{icon|silver|{{Q|Prosthetic heart|Market Value Base}}}})
For a total of {{icon|silver|{{#expr:{{Q|Kidney|Market Value Base}}}}}} + {{icon|silver|{{Q|Heart|Market Value Base}}}} + {{icon|silver|{{Q|Lung|Market Value Base}} - {{icon|silver|{{Q|Prosthetic heart|Market Value Base}}}}}}, or {{icon|silver}}920.

Non-psychopaths/bloodlusts get a -5 mood debuff for harvesting organs. The debuff stacks 5 times, with a debuff multiplier of 0.75.

===Mitigation Strategies===
Prior to version 1.3, it was possible to send everybody who would be debuffed off the map (on a caravan) until all humans have been chopped up by psychopath/bloodlust/cannibal pawns, but it doesn't seem to be possible anymore. This method never worked for organ harvesting or slavery.

Given the mood penalty is releatively low for human butchery (only -6), the penalty may just be taken. Some additional care can be to maintain mood levels through other means to make this more palatable, this includes providing additional [[recreation]], [[psychic soothe pulser]]s, better [[meals]], [[drugs]] or improved bed and rec rooms. Just providing 1 lavish meal per affected colonist per day for the 10 day duration is more then enough to counter the penatly.

It is recommended to use a non-affected pawn to actually do the butchery though, as the penalties stack and -12 is a significant debuf. Also keep in mind that the butchering pawn's social standing will be much reduced in the eyes of affected pawns. This can ruin relationships by causing a pawn to hate their spouse for example.

That said, doing this can be quite profitable especially on higher difficulties where you get raided a lot.

Everybody will handle human meat without complaint, as long as they do not have to eat it in any form.

Storing human corpses for butchery will result in the Observed Corpse mood debuf, this can be prevented by hiding the corpses in [[Shelf|shelves]]. See that page for details.

Human leather fetches a good price. It can also be used for furniture without penalty. Human meat can be sold, fed to carnivores, converted into [[chemfuel]] at the [[biofuel refinery]], or, turned into [[kibble]] (note that if pawns ever eat this kibble, they will have both the debuffs for eating kibble ''and'' eating human meat).
