Human meat is meat obtained when a cook butchers humans.

Acquisition[edit]

Human meat is obtained when a cook butchers humans and gorehulks. The base Meat Yield are described on the table below but the actual number depends on the Butchery Efficiency of the butcher, damage of the corpse, and a number of other factors.

Animal	Meat Yield
Human	140

Without the Ideology DLC, butchering a human gives −6 mood for all colonists in the colony, and an additional −6 to the butcher. The former moodlet does not stack, meaning butchering 100 corpses gives the same colony-wide mood as one (the butcher's penalty does stack). Psychopaths and pawns with bloodlust ignore either butchering penalty, as do any cannibals.

The mood effects of butchering humans with an Ideoligion are based on the precept of the ideoligion the pawn follows.

Usage[edit]

Cannibal platter	120	Building - Ideology (Buildings)

Summary[edit]

Human meat is like any other raw food. It can be used to create meals, or combined with other ingredients to produce fine, lavish meals, pemmican and kibble.

Most humans despise eating human meat, which is cannibalism. Raw human meat gives a −20 moodlet, and cooking human meat into meals (including in nutrient paste) gives a −15 moodlet. Pawns with the Cannibal trait instead gain +20 for raw meat and +15 for cooked meat. The moodlets for raw and cooked cannibalism stack with each other, as do any moodlets from meal types. Mood effects can also be swayed by a pawn's Ideoligion.

Processing human meat, once it has been butchered, incurs no penalties. Human meat can be made into meals, used for animal feed, processed in biofuel refinery for chemfuel, or put in a biosculpter pod or growth vat, and nobody will feel bad about it unless it is eaten directly.

Its market value is only 0.8 silver, or 40% of regular meat. However, processing it into meals or chemfuel will ignore its origin when considering market value.

Human meat is also used as a building ingredient for the cannibal platter, which requires 120.

Analysis[edit]

Butchering a human is already upsetting for a good majority of colonists. So in a colony not filled with cannibals, eating it should only be for absolute emergencies, in extreme biomes like sea ice, or to please a cannibal on verge of mental break. For a cannibal, both the cooked cannibalism and raw cannibalism mood buffs stack, for a total of +35 mood. However, most cannibals still get −7 mood for eating raw food. You can further boost mood with fine meals, lavish meals, or their carnivore variants. Alternatively, the massive mood debuff might make human meat situationally useful. It may force a tortured artist into a mental break, or cause a Crisis of Belief in the Ideology DLC. As for Caravans and Raiding, Human Meat is one of the most abundant food sources that can be acquired while on-site by butchering several of the corpses found from the pawns killed and in Gibbet cages , cooking them into Meals for slower spoilage.

Using human meat for carnivorous animals (whenever raw or kibble) isn't cannibalism, so the animals won't mind. It may be wiser to leave corpses unbutchered, as the butchering itself has a fairly large penalty to both the butcher and the colony. Note that colonists in base game or with the Corpses ugly precept will get −4 mood from observing them.

In the Ideology DLC, a colony's ideoligion can make this a different story. With the Cannibalism meme and/or precept, raiders become a completely viable source of both food and positive moodlets. Setting the precept to Required (Ravenous) gives the greatest mood buffs, +6 per meal, but also gives a strong debuff when human meat isn't available. This is also possible in the base game, with a colony entirely composed of the cannibal trait. By adjusting the scenario ("Forced trait"), you can set all starting colonists, or every pawn in the game, to be cannibals.

-The colony recieves a -6 [[mood]]let simply by butchering a human - the butcher themselves recieves another -5 mood. Actually eating raw human flesh gives a massive -20 mood penalty, which is only reduced to -15 mood if cooked. [[Psychopath]]s and pawns with [[bloodlust]] ignore the butchering penalty, but hate cannibalism all the same. A [[nutrient paste dispenser]] won't mask human meat, and pawns recieve debuffs for both human meat and nutrient paste.
