Cannibal stew

[Aethrys]

Is it worth the effort to try and make the crew into cannibals as thrall? Or is the only real benefit being able to feed on corpses yourself more openly?

probably not worth, we know people that eat human meat have a debuff for normal food.

lets say you do a human stew like first day and give them to enough people, if they don't kill you for your misstake they will lose trust in you but you lost probably a day making the stew the only way to make it worth you will be to make another one after and poison it but good luck having them eat a new stew after the first one.

maybe some update will make eating human meat more punishing for now i don't think you can make it worth, you will probably make them lose more time asking for meat to make a stew day 1 and running away will you let them starve on the ship.

Oh I was thinking more like gathering enough for the stew with my partner thrall and making it myself, then leaving on the stove. If it works out properly they shouldn't know who made it.

I ask because the one time I did this someone said after the game that the stew had actually saved them from starving to death. Left me wondering whether the debut mattered enough.

I'm thinking maybe as a thrall chaplain, if you're gathering a ton of bones anyway it might still be worth considering.

Stew would not be worth it for a couple reasons.

Even with bones it is a big investment of Thrall time for a mild one off trick.
It also is creating a large batch of food for the now cannibal to feed themselves with assuming they ever become a stage 2/3 cannibal which is when it might actually matter.

Convert people with cooked human. It takes less time and gives them less rations.

[Perplexed]

why would you ever waste bones this way. WHY

[Edible Eyebrows]

I've seen it work to cast blame onto the cook, i think the status affect on its own isnt worth but if you can get everyone to suspect someone else by doing it its golden.

[Dirty Mike]

what do you mean convert people with cooked human? is that a thing
