Summary

This mod makes it so that seraphim will spawn a corpse on death, which can be harvested like any other creature to produce 'pale meat', 'seraph skin', and fat. Instead of a small, medium or large carcass, the harvested body spawns a humanoid carcass that can be broken to drop bones and a skull.
Traders and villagers can now be killed and harvested for red meat, 'human skin' and fat, as well. Traders leave behind humanoid carcasses and will spawn a new trader of the same type in a few days. Villagers will get back up and can be harvested again in a few days.

The intention of this mod is so that players can hunt and eat one another, but in the interest of preserving balance, pale meat has a very low saturation value, and can harm you even when cooked, unless pale meat is cooked into a meal. This is so that players are less able to simply harvest their own bodies for supplies, while still able to enjoy eating long pig if they already have some established food sources.
Despite this, there are probably ways this mod can be abused, but I'm genuinely not sure how to avoid that while still making it fun. Villagers and traders drop red meat to contrast the fact that players are seraphim, while the npcs are humans.

Skin is a type of hide that cannot be used to create fur clothing (but still works for rawhide), and while it can be tanned, it provides the leather yield of a small hide while costing the same number of resources to tan as the medium hide. I would like to use it in the future for macabre trophies or decorations.

 

Config options allow players to adjust how much satiety and healing palemeat provides, and whether humans drop red meat or pale meat, among other things (Requires Config Lib), as well as whether any death will spawn a corpse or only PVP deaths, or if player race affects corpses (Config Lib not required).

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #e67e23;">Known Bugs:</span>

• Hearts cannot be put in the meat freezers from food shelves. This is because hearts can be eaten raw, and the buttons to eat it are the same as the input to put it in the freezer.

Possible Plans for the Future

- Player body appearance (currently bodies appear as blank seraphs with blue skin and no faces. I may be able to make the bodies have the same appearance as the player they came from, but this would not work for the bodies used by the butchering mod, so I've not bothered doing so yet)

- Macabre trophies (teeth necklace, hanged seraph skins, seraph face decorations, etc)

- Gore Effigies (Too extreme?) (flayed bodies, preserved corpses, crude totems made of seraph remains)

- New foods/medicine based on myth and history (mummia, mellified man, powdered skull, tinctures and alcohols)

- Generic corpse types for non-seraph, but unrecognized bodies.
