Harvest skilltrainers from colonists that kill themselves at the new altar of self-sacrifice. This dark ritual transfers the sacrificed colonist’s highest ranked skill into a skilltrainer, enabling another colonist to benefit from their painful offering.
Ever come across a potential recruit lying there on the ground and think, 'Wow, I like your stats, bro,' only to realize they're a staggeringly ugly, slow-learning body purist with an annoying voice? [i]Instantly clicks melee attack to death.[/i] Well, now you [i]can[/i] recruit them, send them off to the altar of self-sacrifice, and receive a skilltrainer for their highest-ranked skill in return.

The lines in the gif read: [i]'They said there wouldn't be so much blood!', 'They’re all cowards—standing there while I bleed!', and 'Scatter my ashes somewhere beautiful... somewhere I’d be free.'[/i]

[*] Build an Altar of Self-Sacrifice from the "Misc" tab for 30 steel, 2 components, and 150 stony, metallic, or woody materials.
[*] Add the "Sacrifice Colonist" bill to the altar. [b]Disable the Sacrifice work type for colonists you do not want to kill themselves[/b] (it’s the last work type in the work tab).
