After recently experiencng a very fun undead invasion, I've noticed that all of the corpses held in my refuse stockpile came alive and proceeded to murder all the Urist McSleepOutsides. Now that it's gone, I want to make sure that they're not able to escape.
I've buit a wall around the stockpile, and placed a door in one opening. Is there something I should do to the door, like keep it tightly closed, or will a door not work period?

[Girlinhat]

Tightly closed should work.  Undead can tear down wooden doors as well.  And anything that is [INTELLIGENT] or [CAN_OPEN_DOORS] can do so even when a corpse.  So goblin corpses will still walk out.

[Loud Whispers]

Use bridges. Or floor hatches. Or wall off the entire thing.

[Girlinhat]

In evil biomes I don't even have an entrance.  Using the orders menu, all body parts are designated to be dumped and not saved.  They're taken to any available garbage zone, not a stockpile.  So, the garbage zone leads to a hatch where items are dropped into a pit and left there, with no walkable path back up.

[JimDale]

There's also a bunch of Goblin/Elf/Dwarf/Human Corpse Corpses still outside, which the dwarves won't get rid of. They're all partial skeletons now, are they still a threat?

[Girlinhat]

As long as they don't raise.  If they get a necromancer it's an issue, otherwise what.  They're corpses.

[DanteThanatos]

Hmmm the pit of garbage(Mostly body parts and corpses) could then be used as pincushions to your Marksdwarves.

Pit corpse, wait for necromancer, "THE DEAD WALK!" and then proceed to kill them over and over.

I embarked in between two Necromancer towers, just look at my Sign.
I was still chopping down trees for the beds.

[Girlinhat]

The idea of necromancers as training supplies is as old as the original post by Toady that said "raising dead".  Oldest idea ever.

Beware zombie kobolds, even their tongues are agile enough for their dismembered heads to pick your locks.

Zombie underworld?

That made me laugh and gag at the same time. You are a terrible person.

[SRD]

I just imagined a kobold lesbian.. You are sick.

Seen the thing? It's like that but with Kobolds.
