I don't think the body parts will kindly wait while the dwarf works on it.

They don't. I had to put a lockdown system in the area of the fort where body parts are processed after dead tanners started to multiply.

I think we should attempt to give these zombies love and understanding.

Yes.
Weaponized zombie fortress defense.
Use them to fight demons.
Going to be fun!

[Name Lips]

We might need to start liberally spreading traps around our refuse piles and body-part-processing workshops.

[Teneb]

Or just do away with refuse stockpiles and dump stuff into a pit (covering it with a hatch, in case anything tries to fly out)

I butchered a horse in a sinister area. Next thing I saw was my dwarves being interrupted by crawling horse hair. Hilarity ensued.
It was only mildly annoying, but slightly later the horse skin also went undead and killed everyone.

Anybody else think of The Thing?

Carpenters' thing? or adams familys' thing?

The thing.

This Thing?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's not the original, but yes, that thing

Pardon, but I never saw(ed) the original.

You must see it. The new movie is a clichéd slasher/body horror shitflick. The entire atmosphere is all "oh there's a monster we must run or it will get us!" while the original builds a tension of distrust between the crew members. It's not even comparable.

I will see our recording of the movie; as I've heard they were not comparible, but the whole point of the post was the pun.

Rather accurate, as only heat-based weapons seem to be effective against the Thing. Now if we can only figure out how to get magma throwers and heated wire-blood tests.

Nuke it from orbit.

If you properly bury a corpse in a burial site, does it still become undead and get out of its tomb?

[Loud Whispers]

Yes, so don't bother making coffins. Just make a nice corpse stockpile in every bedroom. Much easier. Make slabs instead if you're worried about ghosts.

Or better: Make an elaborate tomb complex, and start filling it back to front. The dorfs left outside whent he fort falls will be the initial resistance in Adv, Mode.

Your goal?

Sterilize the infection.

WHY WONT THEY STAY IN THEIR COFFINS!!!!!!!

[WillowLuman]

If you bury someone, they come back as a zombie and destroy your fort. If you don't bury someone, they come back as a ghost and their friends cause a tantrum spiral about the body decaying.

Do any and all things killed by the dead become undead, or just in certain areas/circumstances?

[Loud Whispers]

WHY WONT THEY STAY IN THEIR COFFINS!!!!!!!

Zombies: Meh, don't feel like it.

[Splint]

WHY WONT THEY STAY IN THEIR COFFINS!!!!!!!

Door-> lock->wall.
And then traps to be sure.

What fun, now we NEED to double seal catacombs and lace them with traps!
Armok is pleased by this development.
