Sky Burial

Description
Sky burial (also known as jhator) is a funeral practice when corpse is left to decompose and be eaten by scavengers, practiced by some cultures.

This mod adds a special building called "Sky Burial Site" that functions like an open storage. Bodies placed there can deteriorate, but do not affect beauty or mood of pawns passing by.

Sky burial site can be used as a morbid or natural meditation focus, does not interfere with anima trees and is usually ignored by raids. Does not block wind. Cost - 15 stony or metallic stuff.

Compatibility
Pure XML mod. Safe to add to existing saves, but not recommended to remove.

Known issues
None!

License
All original code in this mod is licensed under the MIT license[opensource.org].

I have no idea where graphics came from. This mod was recovered from recycle bin where it was sitting since alpha, and I don't remember if it was made specially for it or taken from somewhere.

That's fine, I haven't had any issues with it as is anyway. I just loved the aesthetic of the bodies hanging around on big ladders haha.

I don't see a need for this mod really. But due to how simple it is it may work as is. It is basically just a storage shelf that only holds corpses and does not prevent deterioration.

Any hope for a 1.5 update?

Interesting idea, but would require more effort than I want to spend to implement properly.

Any chance could you make a mod that allows Pagan Pyre funerals?. this isn't a thing as of writing, which is quite odd.

Interesting mod. I saw a bunch of sky burial sites in China while I was on a boat from Three Gorges Dam.

I'm not an artist, this was meant to be a placeholder but...

Was literally just thinking about wanting a mod like this today, and what do you know, it exists :D Would be cool if you could make a more neolithic looking variant, for tribal playthroughs!

@Jawrill Sure, why not.
