Basic lessons in corpsology

[Dr. Z]

So the differece between colonist corpses and stranger corpses make sense, but why is there a third box saying human corpse? And what is the effect of ticking/not ticking the box "Allow buried corpses"?

[Nasikabatrachus]

"Allow buried corpses" is pretty much just for graves. If you uncheck it on a grave, your colonists will haul a body back and forth between a stockpile and the grave endlessly, like so:

Presumably "Human corpse" is there to demonstrate that there can be more than one "race" of humanoid in the game, although I don't understand why stockpiles accept corpses but not human corpses by default.

Because non human corpses dont cause negative morale modifiers and are generally used in normal colony industry. (Im considering cannibalism to be outside of the "normal" range)

But stockpiles don't have animal or mechanoid corpses allowed by default. Just stranger corpses and colonist corpses. The "human corpse" box is un-ticked.

Maybe because the only human corpses existing are colonists and strangers, so this box essentially has no function and is left unticked.
