Corpse in the Hallway
« on: May 14, 2012, 09:22:19 pm »

So, I have a mutilated upper and lower body in my main entranceway.  I could dump it, but then it'd be in my workshop level over all my stone.  Why isn't there a 'Drag to refuse pile' button?  Anyone have anything helpful for me, or should I just wait til Urist McCorpseHauler gets around to it?

deactivate the first dump and designate a second dump.

As for refuse pile, it depends on the species of the corpse.  Dwarf corpses go in graveyard stockpiles, non-dwarf corpses go in refuse stockpiles.  Make a bigger refuse pile, or if its dwarf, just bury the body.

You can set up a refuse stockpile and have all your corpses hauled there.
You could also change your setup so that the quantum garbage dump is outside.. but that would involve changing your entire fort setup..

Thank you, that worked well. Its just a little ridiculous they'd rather walk through miasma than drag the body ten tiles out a door into my refuse stockpile.

Edit: What Slothen didn't bring up is that immediately after the corpse is outside, you put your dump back where it was so nothing changes but the damn corpse is outside now, where it belongs.

If it's a dwarf zombie body then the graveyard stockpile is better...

d-b-d is not good for zombies, dwarves or not. The sheer amount of corpses means months of works, while you cannot use dump for underground stone piles and other more useful things. Also graveyard is better, because it's automatic.
