Butcher table

A heavy table for butchering dead creatures into a number of pieces of raw meat and leather, depending upon the animal. Colonists assigned to cooking will butcher creatures as part of their duties. The Butcher Creature bill defaults to include all animals and exclude humanoids and buried creatures, but can be configured. The bill configuration can also restrict ingredients by hit points by adjusting the minimum and maximum sliders.

Cleanliness

Butcher tables are considered dirty with a cleanliness of -15. In addition, when butchering, bloodstains will appear near the table, reducing cleanliness even more.

Filth

The bloodstains produced by butchering work can seriously impact the beauty of a room, especially if inside. This can be mitigated by building shelves to either side of the butcher, as shelves "hide" filth like dirt and blood from view and negate their beauty malus.

Human butchering

While butchering corpses for meat is more profitable than burying them, most colonists find butchering of humans abhorrent, and will get bad thoughts if:

They, or anybody else butchers humans
Eat meals that contain human meat
See dead human bodies in general

Additionally, colonists butchering humans will get a relationship penalty with other colonists. Psychopaths, however, don't care about any of the above and don't think less of colonists that butcher humans.
