Funerals?
Hi, this is my first post in reddit, so I may get all the formatting stuff wrong, forgive me if I do.
I've searched this subreddit for any "funeral" suggestions, but I haven't found any. It's crazy how we have marriages and parties that cause long lasting mood buffs, but we don't have funerals for those who have passed away. We currently only have the "buried in grave/sarcophagus" buff.
It only makes sense for us to have the ability to have all the colonists gather at a grave/sarcophagus and see the brave colleague get lowered into his final resting place. Of course, this would systematically be pretty useless (seeing we already have the buried in grave/sarcophagus buff), but would be a great addition for the realism of the game.
A funeral would yield a somewhat small mood buff (+4 or +5) because colonists would both feel sad from the death of their fellow colonist and happy from knowing that they gave a proper funeral and resting place to their late colleague.
A funeral could consume resources like medicine (for properly dressing the colonist before putting him in the grave/sarcophagus) and/or a flower (a daylily/rose could yield a flower when cut, which could then be used in the funeral... this could be expanded into a system involving flower vases and weekly tributes to graves/sarcophagi). A funeral could also possibly reduce/mitigate the "friend/family member passed away" debuff.
What do you all think?
