Death is a certainly fatal state that can be inflicted to any pawn.

Summary

A dead pawn can no longer act, and creates a corpse if its body was not completely destroyed. No organs or artifical parts may be retrieved, and any apparel items they were wearing will become tainted. Death activates a death acidifier.

Colonist deaths cause various mood penalties. Pawns connected by family or relationship will be especially devastated. Killing a colonist or prisoner through particularly cruel methods, like execution and banishment, incur extra penalties. Animals bonded to that pawn may recieve a mental break, while a bonded animal dying gives a mood penalty.

Corpses may be buried in a grave or sarcophagus. Leaving a colonist corpse unburied (or burned, butchered, destroyed...) incurs further mood penalties.

A resurrector mech serum is the only way to treat death, at least without mods or developer tools. There must be a non-desiccated corpse in order to revive. It runs the risk of resurrection psychosis (and other side effects), which will kill the pawn in 100 days anyways. The chance is reduced by keeping the pawn's corpse fresh and applying the serum quickly.
