Skulls are a resource extracted from a human corpse originally added in the Ideology DLC, but now part of Core.
Acquisition[edit]
Skulls can be extracted from human corpses if the Ideology DLC is active. A corpse can be designated for skull extraction by selecting the corpse and clicking the "extract skull" gizmo. and only pawns with the Skullspike: Desired
precept in their ideoligion can extract skulls. It takes 180 ticks (3 secs) of work to extract a skull.[Work type?]
Extracting the skull destroys the head of the corpse and reduces the amount of meat and leather extracted from the corpse. Blood will be created from non-skeletal corpses when extracting a skull. It is unknown whether skull extraction reduces the market value extracted from the corpse by a greater amount than is gained from the skull.[Detail needed]
Skulls are also commonly found in gray boxes in the labyrinth.
Skulls can also be carried by pawns with the psychopath trait as a starting possession.
Summary[edit]
Skulls retain the name of the person they were extracted from. Their main purpose is for building skullspikes.
Skulls can be consumed by harbinger trees.
