deathcause: memorialize
« on: January 09, 2014, 03:28:31 pm »
Did I kill this guy by creating a memorial slab for him?

Unless I got the wrong name he was ghosting me, and not in my corpse "pile", so I made a slab to make him stop.

Are you worried about a death message that read something like "____ has been laid to rest"? That's the ghost 'dying' as it were, being moved off the unit list. It happens right after the slab is built.

Deathcause isn't always reliable. I've had a few instances where it told me that the cause of a creature's death was death.

In this instance, I think it read the ghost being laid to rest and registered that as what killed the unit.

Yup, you're right.
