Other than atom smashing/magma route is there a way to stop them from reanimating? does proper burial prevent this?

sorry if there is already a thread for this!

[Celarious]

Magma is the best way, no matter what. Even if you don't like it, it is still the best way.

[Man of Paper]

Dump corpses in a 1x1 pit and floor it off.

And then magma. Always magma.

[Kansa]

Butcher them and then tan their skins

Lt. Simmons I thought I specifically ordered you to stay dead!

If you have a zombie biome and a non-zombie biome intersecting you can carry corpses to the non zombie biome and they'll no longer rise.

[Hotaru]

It's untested still AFAIK, but considering corpses are flammable, you could kill them with fire too.

Build a simple raised hill around your fort, put lignite or coal on top of it, drop a bit of magma there to light it and be safe in style inside a burning wall that torches zombies as they come through it. Or more likely die a horrible, horrible death as burning zombie aardvarks rush inside your fortress exploding in gore as they reach the booze stockpile and then their various burning body parts start crawling around torching everything.

Put the stones inside bins to make it burn forever.

[Loud Whispers]

Put them in a box.

Burning used to work by damaging fat and causing bleeding, that caused muscular creatures with little fat to burn for a very long time. I'm not sure how it works now but a zombie with all of it's fat rotted away could be a walking tinderbox.

Right. Well at least those looking to weaponize zombies will be happy to find out they may be able to unleash burning zombies on their enemies.

Doesn't fire destroy corpses fast though, or am I completely misinformed? Because that would lead you to assume that if you could somehow make the burning zombies not kill you, at least what they kill stays dead.

How far is a necromancer's Resurrection power effective at? By the sounds of it, they can res things through the floor, and that's sort of weird - so do we just consign our refuse and corpse piles to deep subterranean levels?

Has anyone tried resurrecting a forgotten beast?

Holy Jesus. Note to self: Never butcher a Forgotten Beast in an evil biome...

I think it's all supposed to be line of sight based.  What's that normally?  20-30 tiles?  Necromancers shouldn't be able to rez through floors then, unless you've got floor grates or something for them to see through.

Keep cutting until there isn't enough left to rise.

I have a "Rotten Horse Head Skin" locked in a pit because it keeps coming back. You can cut and cut and cut until all that's left is a decomposing face and it's not enough.
