Deadlife shell
An artillery shell packed with a dust-like substance that, after exploding into a cloud, will settle on nearby human and animal corpses and raise them as shamblers. The shamblers will only attack your enemies. This can be fired from mortars or installed as a trap. Explodes when damaged.

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.
Acquisition
Deadlife shells can be crafted at a bioferrite shaper once the deadlife dust research project has been completed. Note that this research requires dark study to unlock. Each requires 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
When fired from a mortar, deadlife shells explode in a radius of 4.1 tiles. The explosion raises nearby human and animal corpses as shamblers for 6 hours. Shamblers raised by player-fired deadlife shells are non-hostile towards the colony, but will attack enemies.
They are also used in the construction of IED deadlife traps.
