Automatic stripping before/druing cremation

[ZephyrSly]

This is actually a very small problem until late game, when you begin to battle raider hordes:

In my colony, I've had to make mass graves for the upwards-of-twenty raiders and tribesmen who died in their numerous attempts at killing my colonists, and I now have a mass grave where I also incinerate the bodies - but I'm increasingly finding that I need to manually strip the bodies one by on to get their clothes and armour.

My suggestion here is this:
Is there anyway that this can be done through the cremation bills, or be part of the cremation proccess?
I know this is a very little niggly thing, but I thought I'd mention it - also, sorry if this has cropped up, I had a wee look and didn't see it anywhere, same thing if there is already a solution to this.

Thanks,
Zeph

Honestly this makes sense to me. Why would you toss in an entire body into the cremator? What happens if they had a grenade on and the cremator goes BOOM?(Doesn't actually happen BTW)

What happens if they had a grenade on and the cremator goes BOOM?

Hahaha, I should make that a suggestion!

It feels like 1 line of code somewhere in the behaviour of the incinerator would do it.

Hmmm, thats an interesting point... I think I might repost this into the cheapest suggestions topic

I am not a modder, but I would love a modder to explain to me in the simplest of terms if and why the following logic wouldn't work:

If the code for "strip corpse" has specific instructions as to what that means (how to do it), and the job "cremate corpse" has specific instructions on how to do that job, couldn't you grab the definition of what "strip corpse" does and include it in the definition of "cremate corpse" before the current instructions?

...

I'd imagine so, although my modding experiance is very limited, so I wouldn't really know...

I agree, this would be wonderful, I consistently have to micro-manage the stripping of each body before it is cremated.

[Ruin]

Yeah, this would be a nice feature.  Managing the stripping of corpses is a PITA.

if (stripBeforeBurning &&  !body.gearList.isEmpty())
{
   body.strip();
}
body.burn();

one problem: enemies wear useless junk most of the time. so maybe there should be a "wishlist"

if(stripBeforeBurning && body.gearList.contains(stripWishList))
{
   body.strip();
}
body.burn();

+1 yes please, I don't want to burn items I can sell/deconstruct/whatever

Is this pseudo code or the actual code?

That would be a fine option even for the butcher. You know, prisoners don't need animal meat.

[Minus]

I've lost some power armour thanks to not paying attetion to two corpses. Auto-stripping would be great!

[RawCode]

Checkboxes for crematorium\butcher\graves\other objects that handle bodies like "remove items made from X" and (or) "remove items of type X" will fix issue completely.

Such options with logical controller "and\or" will allow player to automate production related to dead bodies.

Player will have option set "remove items of type Dusted or items made from devilstrand or both conditions at once"

Gnomoria have such filters, they very slow to set due to large amount of available items and materials, but allow to set production line once and forget about it forever.
