The deadlife shell is a type of mortar shell that explodes into a cloud of dust, raising any nearby human or animal corpses as shamblers.

Each requires Bioferrite 25 Bioferrite, 800 ticks (13.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 4.

Summary[edit]

When fired from a mortar, deadlife shells explode in a radius of 4.1 tiles. The explosion raises nearby human, animal, and entity corpses as shamblers for 6 hours. Shamblers raised by player-fired deadlife shells are non-hostile towards the colony, but will attack enemies.

Analysis[edit]

Deadlife shell give you an alternative for "corpse disposal". Instead of disposing corpses like a bunch of humans, you can build a pile of corpse at the entrance of your base and an IED deadlife trap in the middle. When raiders come, it will explode and unleash a wave of shamblers upon them. The corpses of these raider will further enlarge the corpse pile, making it even easier to fight the next raid

This works well with pawns with inhuman ideoligions, who don't mind the corpses at all.
