Harvestable Human Flesh Lumps
Adds a gene that makes pawns grow lumps of flesh, which can be safely cut off for sustainable human flesh and leather farming.
Adds a gene that makes pawns grow lumps of flesh, which can be safely cut off for sustainable human flesh and leather farming. A new xenotype, Meatbags, carry this gene and are the perfect slaves for doing so.
Mechanics
Carriers of the flesh lump gene will have a visible growth coming from their tailbone. This lump will consume extra food as it grows, and eventually can be cut off in an operation.
As the lump grows, it will yield more resources, become uglier and more painful, and slows the pawn down. The growth progress is visually visible on pawns.
Non-cannibals generally don't like the idea of harvesting flesh, and will get a mood penalty when it happens (similar but less significant than butchering human corpses).
Being harvested for flesh also makes people unhappy, but cannibals don't feel as bad about it.
Prisoners and slaves can have their interaction mode set to "flesh farm", which will automatically schedule operations to cut off flesh lump when grown.
New xenotype - Meatbag
A testament to human cruelty, meatbags are made ugly to prevent sympathy, and are mentally incapable of fighting back against their masters.
A number of especially morbid urbworlds are known for their massive slave plants, where billions of meatbags are exploited for the upper classes' extravagant cannibalistic lifestyles.
To ensure a constant influx of meatbags, they modify people as punishment for crimes they may or may not have committed. Many prisoners of war are also turned into meatbags to intimidate the enemy.
Becaues the genes are inheritable, being meatbagged is one of the worst fates imaginable, cursing one's future generations into a life of slavery and discrimination.
You may find meatbags from slaver ships or caravans. Because of their pacifist nature and low metabolism, they are perfect for human flesh farming!
How do I get this gene?
Traders may carry the flesh lump gene. Alternatively, meatbags who carry this gene will sometimes show up as slaves, which you can extract the gene from.
