Early game decent Grave/Corpse guide?

[zgrssd]

I am looking for a guide concerning early game grave/body preparation.
You know, that time when you are happy to have stone headstone and can maybe remove Fat and Blood. Which of body parts should I remove in that time?

I found a guide, but that one is for late game + DLC, when I can already see the body parts quality scores.

It is all you can do in the early game. Take out blood and fat, both are +1white and -1red. You may also take out bone, it changes nothing.
Pick a headstone and fence that togeter cover all red and white skulls. Or just the best set you can afford.
If the body has 2 red, you get all white skulls, if more, the prepared body will still have red skulls. But the only in-game consequence is that you need better headstone/fence to use the body fully. (At least until today, I haven't palyed with better save soul yet). The ghost is lying:) The red skulls won't "attack" the graveyard again.


More options appears only when you unlock embalming. This is probably covered in that guide you have found. In short version, Lye+glue + silver gets you +3 white, gold injection (you can buy gold elixir from Clotho or gold nuggets in the refuge camp) gives +2 wtite, and reduces 2 red, but the body has to have those two reds. In a rare situation the body is "too pure", you can take the skull (+1red) or put dark injection (+2 red).
Then cut the fat and drain blood.

Theoretically, you can try swapping the "main" body parts in early-ish game, but:
-without the end-game perk you do not see skulls on the parts, and brain/heart/gutpipe get random amount of them. So it is a lottery and you work blind.
-without both 'surgery' perks surgeon's mistake will happen often.
IMHO, it is not worth the work.

To add to the above, by mid/late game you will have plenty of money for buying permits to dig up old corpses and replace them with better ones. So, don't stress too much about getting everything perfect at the beginning. Just do whatever gives you some points here and there and you will be fine.
