Okay, so I have a really old world from like, June, and I built this really awesome castle, but I unleashed demons, and sealed the hole up, but they still keep coming. Anyways, all of my people died, I sent 5 reclaim attempts, they all died too. And now on the 6th try, I managed to hold up 33 dwarves inside my castle thing. But none of them want to dump the corpses. I have a sealed courtyard outside with a dump, graveyard, and a refuse pile. But they don't want to take the corpses out there, even though they're all rotten. I have Dump corpses enabled, Dwarves can go outside, and I've set the corpses to be dumped.

I'm just tired of all of my dwarves getting disgusted by all of the dead animal bodies, demon bodies, and dwarf parts everywhere.

Any suggestions?

[Jim Groovester]

Set refuse to be gathered from the outside under refuse orders.

[Kamudo]

I have that turned on already, but all of the corpses are inside.

[Kamudo]

And none of the corpses will rot into bones either. I actually don't think any of them are rotten.

[Jacob/Lee]

Are the corpses forbidden?

[Jim Groovester]

Were the corpses already there when you reclaimed? Reclaiming tends to screw up items.

My guess is that all the corpses were tasked to be dumped or hauled to a graveyard stockpile on a previous reclaim attempt. Items that were tasked on abandon are immovable on reclaim.

Try channeling the tiles of a few of the corpses. Then maybe things will get back into motion.

I would burn the corpses with magma, so that you don't scar up the place with channel designations. But that's just my personal preference.

[Kamudo]

Yeah, they were tasked to be dumped previously.. So.. Yeah, I'll try to channel some stuff. Since I don't remember or know if there's magma on my map.
