Introduction
Are you disappointed to drag the corpse this far, throw it into the crematorium and... well, that's it? Not even a simple "thank you". Meanwhile, all the cannibals, psychopaths and human leather hat tycoons get richer every second.
Here at the [b]Honest Corpse[/b] we don't feed cadaver to the wargs. We don't burn the corpse with Molotov cocktails, like it was some Russian bourgeoisie carcass. No.
We treat corpses with dignity.
It ain't much, but it's [b]Honest Corpse[/b].

Content
This mod introduces 4 new cremation options for more civilized colonies. These will not make you rich: disposing of the corpse and keeping the colony clean is still the main reward by itself.
[b]- Cremate corpse[/b]
Stays the same. It's quickest, it just helps to clean area and [b]apparel is burned as well[/b].
[b]- Liquefy corpse[/b]
Your colonist will now make sure that valuable body fats melt safely and drain down before everything burns. It will take a bit more time, but grants [b]10x Chemfuel[/b].
[b]- Extract Iron[/b]
Did you know that human body contains trace amounts of iron? It would be a shame if it went to waste. Also, take out our bullets while you're at it. [b]10x Steel[/b].
[b]- Turn into fertilizer[/b]
Set lower temperature so that the ashes retain as much fertilizing properties as possible. You'll need [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=836308268]Dubs Bad Hygiene[/url] to use this option. Grants [b]25x Biosolids[/b]. Works with animal corpses too!
[b]- Acidify corpse[/b]
Now, it's no easy task, but you can use crematorium heat to initiate chemical reaction and condense few drops of Neutroamine. You'll need 3 corpses, herbal medicine, and a longer while to spare. Grants [b]1x Neutroamine[/b]. Requires researching Medicine Production and a colonist with Intellectual 8.
*NEW*
[b]- Secondary non-strip set of recipes[/b]
After one or two embarrassing incidents we won't talk about, few colonists refused to watch naked people during their work time. You can now choose to cremate corpse without undressing them. These options need slightly more time to properly burn everything.
But that's not all! Activities provided by [b]Honest Corpse[/b] also slowly train your colonists' intellectual skill. Turns out watching dead people burning all day makes you think. That, and of course all the scientific button-pushing while operating the machinery.

FAQ
[b]Q: Is this compatible with X?[/b]
A: Yes. With anything that doesn't remove the crematorium.
[b]Q: Where should I put it in load order?[/b]
A: Somewhere warm and safe down the list. Below Dubs Bad Hygiene, when using both.
[b]Q: Human body contains ~4 grams of iron. Instead, we get whole 5 kg of steel. How is that?[/b]
A: Look out, there's angry tentacled thing behind you! [i]*proceeds to run*[/i]
[b]Q: Do new options strip the corpse?[/b]
A: What? How did you catch up with me? Anyway, yes - if you want. To get rid of tainted apparel use secondary recipe set or stay with primary and recycle with [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735241897]MendAndRecycle[/url]. That's commendably honest mod.
[b]Q: How big is intellectual gain?[/b]
A: Very small: learn factor is set for 0.25. It's not game breaking, but it is something. Your pawns will now contemplate about transience of life and death and - day by day - become better people. They'll read more, self-reflect and start building utopian community. And maybe, just maybe... One day they might stand up and seize the means of production! As they should!!!

Major updates
01.05.2021 - [b]Non-strip update[/b]
Secondary set of bills for each recipe. They burn the apparel in the process at the cost of slightly more work.
04.05.2021 - [b]Funeral Rites update[/b]
Patch for [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2231295285]Vanilla Factions Expanded - Vikings[/url], that adds death rites to [b]Funeral Pyre[/b]. This is meant mostly for tribal/medieval playthrough.
These rites can be a roleplay-friendly source of lye/Chemfuel, especially needed for [b]Fire Bombs[/b] from [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2454918552]Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Tribal[/url].
Person conducting the rites is white-singing funeral songs, thus training artistic skill instead of intellectual.
