it takes forever to wait for someone to rot into a skeleton

arent there carrion feeder critters you could feed them to nowadays

Crows eat corpses.
It would be nice if burning corpses became skeletons faster

youre right. burning body should char up and become unclonable

Rotting speed should be optimal at body temperature. Bodies should cool down (or heat up) to their surroundings. Too hot and it won't rot, too cold and it won't rot. BUUUUUT, If it's at EXTREME cold, you can *shatter* the body!

Current code does in fact accelerate decomposition at higher temperatures, I think?

Define: 'cold' and 'hot'
It's not completely uncommon for a human body to at 0 K or 1e9 K.
Balance issues aside, I'd be more for carbonizing them. Or making them mummies, minus the slab.

This already happens I'm fairly certain, and has been this way for a long time.

if a corpse is on fire for a sufficient amount of time it should burn the corpse so it's unclonable/unrecognizable
