Decide the destination first
A body intended for burial and one intended for work are evaluated differently. Choose the destination before using treatments or organs. Burial planning favors usable white-skull potential; worker planning may value a body that would make a poor grave.
Read changes one step at a time
Apply one autopsy or embalming change, then inspect the result. Do not stack community-reported procedures blindly, especially when version changes may alter outcomes. A reversible, observed workflow produces better local data and avoids ruining a rare body.
Pair body and grave
The final grave score depends on both the body and the installed decorations. Use decoration capacity that matches the body instead of overbuilding every plot. If a grave cannot use the extra quality, redirect those materials to another plot or a progression gate.
Keep a treatment log
Record the starting skulls, each operation and the result for the current version. Community guides are useful hypotheses, but a short save-specific log is stronger evidence for future bodies and helps identify a patch-related difference.
