It outputs [[light]] in a 6 tile radius while it is powered on, with the nearest {{P|Light Radius}} tiles being above 50% light level and considered lit. As the crematorium can only be used while it is powered, and it emits light when powered, this means there is no need for additional light sources to prevent work speed penalties to the operator. The light emitted by the crematorium itself is sufficient. | It outputs [[light]] in a 6 tile radius while it is powered on, with the nearest {{P|Light Radius}} tiles being above 50% light level and considered lit.

Crematoria are work intensive compared to other methods of disposing of unwanted objects, and this typically leads them to be neglected. However they do possess some advantages that can be relevant. | Crematoria are work intensive compared to other methods of disposing of unwanted objects, and this typically leads them to be neglected.

− | [[Molotov cocktail]]s | + | The primary alternative to using the crematorium is to dispose of unwanted objects using [[Molotov cocktail]]s. This has the advantage of burning multiple objects with one throw, and not requiring electricity or additional pawn labor. This does require a safe burning area, such as a stone floored and walled room which may need to be constructed, but which could be built for fewer materials than the crematorium itself. These "manual crematoria" can be partially automated with the use of a [[stockpile zone]] with proper filters, but require player intervention to ignite every time. Also note that the entrance must be forbidden or the [[Home Zone]] area removed to ensure no firefighters attempts to put out the cremating fire within. |

This allows the player to be completely hands-off once the process is set up, which can be a significant advantage is some playstyles or colonies. |
