Furnaces for energy

[Aelia]

If you manage to survive for long, the bodies really pile up. (I'm at day 95 and I've got nearly 300 graves.) And, morbid as it is, it could be neat if there was a way to recycle them somehow. (The "soylent green" idea is pretty appealing as one option, and there could be mood adjustments based upon whether allies are in there or not.)

But at the same time, burning corpses is less horrifying. (Along with all the other misc. garbage you end up with heaped in various places on your map.)

So, a waste-burning energy-source could be good? It'd certainly deal with the absurd number of corpses you end up with. (As opposed to just leaving them out and/or trying to burn them, which I haven't managed somehow.)

Surround your grave yard with 2 wide metal tile or concrete and throw a Molotov in the middle of it. As long as it doesn't start raining you'll clear your graveyard fast without causing a map wide fire.

The old open-air cremation or Viking style would be a more spiritually happy way of doing it.  Just having a mass grave could/should lower happiness and increase fear.
It all depends on what type of scenario you want to play out.

Definately want a "waste" recycle/burning energy source.

I could see that being a handy way of dealing with it for now.

I really think that a "mass grave" should be an option for people going for darker storylines. And definitely the fear increase and unhappiness should be factors for going with that concept.
