CORPSES ARE BEAUTIFUL
[i]Four precepts for believers who find beauty in death, memory in unburied bodies, and euphoria in rot.[/i]
[hr]
[b]Some colonists mourn the dead. Your believers appreciate them.[/b]
Decay is transformation. Corpses are evidence—proof that bodies worked, bled, existed. Each body observed leaves a lasting impression.
This mod adds the ideology precepts: [b]Celebrated[/b], [b]Obsessed[/b], [b]Unburied Friends Are Beautiful[/b], and [b]Rot Enthusiast[/b].
