questionable prisoner food

[Ninjaclan25]

are there any draw backs to feeding slaves their fellow raiders who died before being captured

I don't see any but don't be too generous, mix it with some left over veggies and make it kibble.

They'll get a large mood debuff, which will make them take longer to recruit, and cause them to have mental breaks.

The worse of a mood they're in, the more mental breaks they'll have, so you could expect lots of berserk episodes. Making a prisoner chew on a human corpse is a good way to guarantee they stay in extreme break territory for several days, so it's not a great idea if you want to keep them long term. Otherwise, I don't suppose it matters if you plan on getting rid of them soon.

Lower mood also means way more escape attempts.

This is only true if their Ideology dislikes cannibalism. If the prefer it they'll get mood boosts

You'r colonists will have to butcher the meat, which they (probably) don't like. You can't feed prisoners corpses from what I know.

But, hey, lower moods mean more crisis of faith. So, easier converting?

Only if they had enough belief in their, well, belief that a Crisis of Belief doesn't take it down to 0%. If it does, they gain a random belief with a decent chunk of belief in it. A Crisis of Belief that takes their belief down to a couple of % is great for converting them to your belief. A Crisis of Belief that makes them believers of something entirely different every time you get close to converting them, well... not so much.

Yup. I just didn't want to explain all that because I'm feeling too lazy for big brain thinking ;x or something like that.

For converting them to your ideology, bad mood is good
