Is it ok to atom smash dwarf corpses?
« on: April 01, 2012, 01:53:54 pm »

I reclaimed a fortress and there are a lot of dead dwarves. I've been over 100 coffins and still haven't buried all the dead. If I atom smash all these corpses/burials, will I have a problem with existing/future ghosts appearing?

Slabs are your friend.

Over 200 dwarves died. I reclaimed with goblins friendly inside. I just got sieged and they all went rogue, so now I'll have even more bodies, if I survive. I really don't want to litter the ground with over 300 slabs.

Slab and possible data fragments from atom smashing or coffins. Take your pick.

in that case, abandon and don't return or have fun with ghosts.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

Man, my most ghost infested fort had 10 ghosts in it, because I had magma and couldn't be bothered with slabs.

You're going to have so much fun, I'm jealous.
