corpses not being taken outside
« on: November 05, 2014, 08:17:59 pm »
What am I missing here? I have corpses in the halls from dead enemies. I have a refuse and a corpse stockpile outside, "dwarves gather refuse from outside" is also turned on even though it shouldn't be relevant, nothing. I also tried dumping them with a garbage dump outside. Nothing.

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

Dwarves need the corpse hauling labor enabled, and they also might take a long time to get round to it if they have other jobs.

Might have something "hidden" in the stock pile so REALLY it's full.

This is 40.14. That labor does not seem to exist anymore, are you sure (if it is still required anyway, that's a pretty major bug)?? Also, all the hauling labors that do exist are on by default anyway.

plenty of lazing people around.

This is as of like 10 seconds after making a huge stockpile, everyone is walking right past it (no, no burrows), continue to not do so minutes later.

Could it be something as simple as forgetting to unforbid the corpses?

Why would corpses be forbidden? (although yes I did check that anyway actually, and as expected / should be the case, they were not forbidden to begin with).

Note by the way, that my butchers were happy to auto-butcher the first few corpses, which rules out any inherent restrictions on them or their location. But once they started rotting, the butchers didn't want them anymore and there appears to be no other way to move them.

Which version are you playing?
What if you build  a stockpile over the corpse and use take/give option or just deconstruct it?

I've had similar issues. Mass forbidding, waiting a few ticks and then unforbidding the items/corpses got the dwarves moving again.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

Okay so it's probably indeed some bug then. If so, I'll just use dfhack to autodump, was just hoping I was missing a button or something.
