Spoilers - HFS Coffin problem
« on: May 03, 2009, 10:31:34 am »
I've got my dwarves trying to bury the poor souls from the demon pits, and completely ignoring the corpse of my champion who just died in battle against a horde of goblin archers.  Is there a way to get my dwarves to ignore the bones down in the pits?

The dwarven corpses will still claim coffins even if their remains are forbidden. That in mind, make certain you have coffins available.

I always make 30 coffins per dwarf in my fortress.

Do you usually plan on shredding your dwarves into 30 pieces?   :o

Because dwarves drop like flies out of flies.  If you don't get started quickly, you'll soon have too many bodies and not enough graves.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
