There IS a drawback to tossing bodies into the river; surprised no one mentioned it yet.

[Kain Yusanagi]

More and more enemies spawn as you chuck more and more corpses into the river. At first it's just a daytime spawn of slimes, but then it adds a nighttime spawn of bats, then a mixed spawn of both, and so on. It's actually a pretty big thing.

[Orklord]

not at my ^^ have may over 50 bodys in the River but not spawns for me outside no bads and no slimes anymore maybe this is bc my Save are Brocken now XD Cant Save anymore and its Frezzed but its Alpha

[Kain Yusanagi]

Yeah if your savegame is broken, that's something else entirely.

[malorob]

ashame the game can not let you build a incinerator? so you can burn your dead and still claim

I also throw more than 50 corpses in the river and sometimes there a bats and sometimes not.

In the save file i found a stat "max sanity" and i also found that sometimes if you go to sleep, you got some +ying yang symbol, likely it is sanity. Maybe you will lose insanity if you throw corpses in the river and it will have some negative effects in the future.

I had these yin yang symbols after I researched a lot of body parts in one day. Probably also a part of it. It surprises me however, that you do not lose sanity when you dissect/autopsy in the first place. o_O

Slimes spawn the first day during daylight (smith quest) and also already during the first week for me. Just walk north to the iron deposits or the iron/coal deposit across the river.

Their spawn is random.

Tossing bodies into the river however will most likely wash them up in the town which is south of the graveyard. The mailbox has an option for paying fines/taxes which is blank for now.

On both 670 and 671, burying every single body and just patrolling the honey trees and noth swamp, no enemies at all, ever. However, I start hucking every corpse into the river? Slimes start spawning randomly, then consistantly, then bats start showing up at night at the swamp and honey trees, then both groups of bats spawn during the day, swamp bats spawning with the slimes. Not just one save file, either, but tested over three.

I have been tossing corpses like river garbage over three save files as well, but not a single slime or bat for me.

Sanity is a fickle thing, as it requires you to have a set moral code that you are breaking to loose it. look at how many people do things you may consider insane but are uneffected by it, and you may also do things they consider insane. If "Sanity" is implimented (have not seen anything ying/yang related yet) then they would have to place a moral and value code system in advance and let the player know about it. Forcing them to fallow what the developer wanted to do.

However if the ying/yang is how it is originally intended its how you are vs the harmony of things. kinda like defense/offense and left/right. it has no real bad/good.

[Wrecki]

Been throwing dozens of corpses in the river...not a single enemy has spawned except for directly north of my house in the mini-swamp. Slimes during the day and Bats at night. Never more than a handful though.

[sketchyd]

Is there any purpose for the bat wings yet?

[Truthowl]

I had not thrown a single corpse in the river(did not know we could do that until I read it here) but I get slimes and bats spawning.

[MaxKool007]

Yah I’ve had yin and yang symbols when I harvested every available body part... maybe that did it maybe not but I had about 3/4 the sleep with both rest and that symbol.


Tossed tonnes of corpses into the river, seen no change in mob spawns.
It’s just coincidental

[yennefa]

Bat wings make Chaos Powder/Essence, but that is as far as I've got. :D

[Buckie]

The part where batwings and the like become useful is locked out of alpha I'd guess, probably the first tech upgrade in the Alchemy tree that is blocked (I assume you get complex glass stuff and can then start brewing potions). I built and researched and unlocked every possible thing.
