Meat Effigy

Touchstones and Telltale Hearts work as expected, but recently I played Willson solo on DST, so I build a Meat Effigy. After 100 days I died, but I did not resurrect. Instead I turned into a ghost, so I went to the Meat Effigy to haunt it or something, but nothing happened and my world resets. Dammit, why? How on earth do I use it? I understand that this is a survival game where you have to explore things, but stuff like that should be easy to use.

Could anyone enlighten me, so I don't have to reset my world like an idiot, instead of resurrecting?

You have to attune to it first by left clicking on it, while sacrificing 40 health, only then you will be able to use it by pressing the meat effigy icon as a ghost (it would appear where health/hunger/sanity icons normally are). You should be attuned to it automatically when you first build it and I have no idea why you weren't.

There's an icon I have to click?

I knew it would be something really stupid. Why don't you just resurrect like it used to be? Thanks a lot by the way.

I believe that the reason they did this because they want you to be able to move around as a ghost; you'll be able to haunt flower to turn it into evil one or haunt pig to turn it into werepig. Moreover, you might be able to resurrect at a touch stone nearby(which is probably closer to where you died than your Meat effigy at your base) allowing you to collect your loots back faster and easier. There are somany reasons behind this tho.

I use to have problem like you when I first use Meat effigy in DST, and then I decided to use command to resurrect me instead lol.

Makes sense, in a way, but still, you could resurrect automaticly, if you don't choose one of those options before the timer runs down and your world restarts. Hmpf. This game takes every effort to kill you, even throught bad menue and icon management. Thanks to all those workshop modders, this game is playable. Without some basic map- and icon- and info-mods, I would be totally lost.
