Bronze Zombie Collar

A Bronze Zombie Collar is the collar a new zombie wears. Raising a corpse at the Resurrection Table I uses up one collar from your backpack, and the collar sets how many red skulls the zombie may carry: a bronze one allows up to 5. Corpses with more cannot be raised with it, and later organ swaps must also keep the zombie within that limit (see Zombies).

In the demo you cannot make or buy one. Its recipe is listed under the Reanimation technology, but it is made at the Jewelry Table (a Bronze Ingot, a Blue Crystal and 3 Faith), and the demo cannot build that table. The only seller is the town Jeweler.

Notes

  • Swapping a collar only goes upward. A zombie can change to a collar with a higher red-skull limit, never a lower one.
  • Count the red skulls before you carry a corpse over. With more than 5, a bronze collar does not fit, and a zombie needs all six organs, so you cannot simply take some out.
  • Studying one costs 5 Science and gives 10 green and 20 blue.
