(I apologize in advance, english is not my first language)
Two cats (owned by two different dwarves.. well, ok, maybe the other way around) have been killed during the last goblin attack, on the surface outside of my fortress.
I had active at the time the order 'ignore refuse from outside', and kept it on for some days in-game, not wanting anybody to risk their lives outside i even forbid the corpses. When i reclaimed them and changed the order to allow my dwarves to bring' em inside for burial, they still weren't picking them up.
Fearing another ambush, i ended up ordering to dump the cats in the garbage quantum stockpile inside the fortress, to slow down the decay at least. I reclaimed the corpses once again, and they got depositated in a regular refuse stockpile.
The point is: some days have passed, and nobody is burying them.
I had already some coffins with burial enabled, ready to accept only pets, before the ambush. I even built new coffins and caskets, in several materials, in case those i had were bugged.
More details:
- The coffins, neither the material they're made of, aren't forbidden (checked with 't').
- [COFFIN_NO_PETS_DEFAULT:NO] pet burial has always been allowed in the init file during the whole game.
- I got plenty of idlers with burial and refuse hauling jobs activated.
- Both corpses and coffins are fully reachable, no burrow restrictions or closed/forbidden doors/floodgates in the way.
- The corpses themselves aren't forbidden nor rotting yet (with 'k' it just shows as, e.g. 'Ducim Nishdoren's corpse').
- I'm playing an almost vanilla 31.03 fort (i only added the [SHELL] tag to horns and hooves in material_template_default.txt) , and i don't use third party programs.
I ran out of ideas, what should i do to give them a resting place?
Sorry if this has been already answered, i tried searching for it in the forum but i didn't find anything.
Thanks for any help
