'''Human meat''' is [[meat]] obtained when a [[Work#Cook|cook]] butchers [[human]]s.
+
{{See also|Meat (disambiguation)|Meat|Insect meat}}
 
+
'''Human meat''' can be obtained by butchering [[human]]s. The amount obtained depends on the [[Butchery Efficiency]] of the butcher. It can be used alone to produce simple [[meals]], or combined with other ingredients to produce fine, lavish meals, pemmican and kibble. As a raw food item, colonists [[Thoughts#Memory Eating|dislike]] eating uncooked meat.
== Acquisition ==
 
Human meat is obtained when a [[Work#Cook|cook]] butchers [[human]]s. Humans have a base [[Meat Amount|Meat Yield]] of 140, but the actual number depends on the [[Butchery Efficiency]] of the butcher, damage of the corpse, and a number of other factors.
 
 
 
Without [[Ideology]]{{IdeologyIcon}} butchering a human gives {{--|6}} [[mood]] for all colonists in the colony, and an additional {{--|6}} to the butcher. The former moodlet does not stack, meaning butchering 100 corpses gives the same colony-wide mood as one (the butcher's penalty ''does'' stack). [[Psychopath]]s and pawns with [[bloodlust]] ignore either butchering penalty, as do any [[cannibal]]s.
 
The mood effects of butchering humans with an [[Ideoligion]] are based on the precept of the ideoligion the pawn follows.

== Summary==
 
Human meat is like any other [[raw food]]. It can be used to create [[meal]]s, or combined with other ingredients to produce fine, lavish meals, pemmican and kibble.  
 
 
 
Most humans despise eating human meat, which is cannibalism. Raw human meat gives a {{--|20}} [[mood]]let, and cooking human meat into [[meal]]s (including in [[nutrient paste meal|nutrient paste]]) gives a {{--|15}} [[mood]]let. Pawns with the [[Cannibal (Trait)|Cannibal]] trait instead gain {{+|20}} for raw meat and {{+|15}} for cooked meat. The moodlets for raw and cooked cannibalism stack with each other, either way. Mood effects can also be swayed by a pawn's [[Ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}}.
 
 
 
Processing human meat, once it has been butchered, incurs no penalties. Human meat can be made into meals, used for animal feed, processed in [[biofuel refinery]] for [[chemfuel]], or put in a [[biosculpter pod]]{{IdeologyIcon}} or [[growth vat]]{{BiotechIcon}}, and nobody will feel bad about it unless it is eaten directly.
 
 
 
Its market value is only {{Icon Small|silver||{{P|Market Value Base}}}} [[silver]], or {{%|{{P|Market Value Base}}/{{Q|Meat|Market Value Base}}|0}} of regular meat. However, processing it into meals or [[chemfuel]] will ignore its origin when considering market value.
 
 
 
Human meat is also used as a building ingredient for the [[cannibal platter]]{{IdeologyIcon}}, which requires {{Required Resources|Cannibal platter|simple=1}}.
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
Butchering a human is already upsetting for a good majority of colonists. So in a colony not filled with cannibals, eating it should only be for absolute emergencies, in extreme [[biome]]s like sea ice, or to please a cannibal on verge of [[mental break]]. For a cannibal, both the cooked cannibalism and raw cannibalism mood buffs stack, for a total of {{+|35}} mood. However, most cannibals still get {{--|7}} mood for eating raw food. You can further boost mood with [[fine meal]]s, [[lavish meal]]s, or their [[carnivore fine meal|carnivore]] [[carnivore lavish meal|variant]]s. Alternatively, the massive mood debuff might make human meat situationally useful. It may force a [[tortured artist]] into a mental break, or cause a [[Mental break#Crisis of Belief|Crisis of Belief]] in the [[Ideology DLC]]. As for [[Caravan]]s and Raiding, Human Meat is one of the most abundant food sources that can be acquired while on-site by butchering several of the corpses found from the pawns killed and in [[Gibbet cage]]s {{IdeologyIcon}}, cooking them into Meals for slower spoilage.
 
  
Using human meat for carnivorous animals (whenever raw or [[kibble]]) isn't cannibalism, so the animals won't mind. It may be wiser to leave corpses unbutchered, as the butchering itself has a fairly large penalty to both the butcher and the colony. Note that colonists in base game or with the [[Ideoligion#Corpses|Corpses ugly]]  precept {{IdeologyIcon}} will get {{--|4}} mood from observing them.
+
Much like insect meat, colonists are generally opposed to consuming human flesh. By default, human flesh is disabled from the list of meats that can be butchered and/or cooked. Unless the butcher has the "Psychopath," "Bloodlust," or "Cannibal" traits, butchering humanlike corpses generates a long-lasting -6 mood bad thought and even other colonists who didn't do the butchering suffer a mood debuff.
  
In the [[Ideology DLC]], a colony's [[ideoligion]] can make this a different story. With the Cannibalism meme and/or precept, [[raider]]s become a completely viable source of both food and positive moodlets. Setting the precept to Required (Ravenous) gives the greatest mood buffs, +6 per meal, but also gives a strong debuff when human meat isn't available. This is also possible in the base game, with a colony entirely composed of the cannibal trait. By adjusting the [[scenario]] ("Forced trait"), you can set all starting colonists, or every pawn in the game, to be cannibals.
+
Colonists that have the Cannibal trait will enjoy human meat consumption, gaining +20 mood for eating it raw or +15 for eating it cooked; all others will get hammered with a -20 mood bad thought for eating it raw, or -15 for cooked.

+
It is generally encouraged to consider all other options before resorting to cannibalism to keep your colony up and running. To prevent the additional Raw Cannibalism debuff, raw human meat must be cooked. You might choose to suffer the additional penalty to put it through a [[nutrient paste dispenser]] until you can obtain more food (causing the milder, but still unfortunate, "Cooked Cannibalism" debuff).
