Cannibal not eating Human flesh/bodies

[Strangepond]

I am playing a ice sheet with a solo cannibal and he does not eat human flesh on his own, I have to force him to eat, is this supposed to happen?

I have only played with a cannibal once or twice and I remember having to force him to eat raw human body as well. However, if you set your butcher's table to allow butchering human corpses, he can then create meals out of that. I think I had my cannibal cook fine meals with the human flesh and he enjoyed it very much.

You have to butcher and make meals. They’re going to feel bad about it so coupled with the phsycopath trait realy helps.

No colonist is going to just naturally eat raw human flesh right off the corpse.

My cannibal wasn't a psychopath (b19) and he was fine with butchering human corpses.

Edit: Yep, just created a new game and tested it out. Cannibals do not get a debuff for butchering human corpses.

Also, cooking meals out of human meat is much better in terms of conserving food (meals use less resources and fill up the pawn's hunger for more than raw ingredients) and the mood buff. Raw cannibalism grants you +20 mood buff but also comes with a -7 for eating "raw food" for a net of +13 compared to +15 if cooked.

iirc this was a thing in B18, haven’t had a cannibal run in a while.
