Skin

Skin is one of the six organs of a corpse, and one of the three you can work with in the demo. You take it out at the Autopsy Table I once you have the Skin and Bones technology (2 blue); before that the slot shows as unknown. Every skin in a demo corpse is of the lowest quality, so removing one needs Anatomy mastery 1. Below that it cannot come out cleanly (see Corpses and organs).

A successful removal gives 1 red and 1 blue tech point. Only one of the demo’s 15 kinds of corpse has a skin with a skull on it: a skin with one red skull, and taking that one out raises the grave the body goes into.

Notes

  • In the demo a removed skin has no recipe. Skins are cut into Leather Scrolls at the Writing Desk, which the demo cannot build. You can put a skin back into a corpse’s empty skin slot, or study it: 5 Science for 10 green and 10 blue.
  • A zombie needs all six organs, so a corpse you mean to raise should keep its skin.
