Ralkubuk's corpse is in my 1x1 garbage pile. How to remove?
« on: August 30, 2011, 08:21:39 pm »
This poor dwarf's corpse is in my stone 1x1 garbage dump and is spreading a purple cloud of miasma all over my workshop floor. Is there any way that I can remove it? I'm trying to find directions on removing specific items from a garbage dump but I haven't had any luck so far. Any help would be appreciated!

You'd have to unforbid the corpse (assuming he was dumped) and make a corpse stockpile/graveyard ('y'...?) and wait for someone to move him. Or just make a coffin.

Make a corpse stockpile and unforbid the dump. Unless there is stuff you want forbidden, then either look through the whole thing or make a magma dump next time.

He likes gold, native gold, trees that are made of gold, and tungsten. He likes cats for their haunting meows. He needs dwarf fortress to get through the working day. When possible, prefers to consume Potatoes, cheese, cow milk. Absolutely detests elves. And spiders.

I think his corpse should show up in the stocks menu, you can unforbid it form there if you don't want to go through the entire list. Or you can use d-b (I think reclaim is the default option, if not just switch to it) to reclaim the whole pile (I don't know why you wouldn't want to do this as it allows masons to use the stone but still keeps it confined until it's needed).
