Dwarves won't bury dead [0.40.03]
« on: July 20, 2014, 12:25:55 pm »
I'm in the midst of a tantrum spiral, but 90% or more of my fort has no issues most of the time. The only real problem I have is that no one is burying the dead. They're horrified even getting close to them.

How the heck am I supposed to clear up miasma and ghosts if they won't even bury the dead?!

Oh, and for reference, I have about 2 dozen empty coffins built. All have the bury citizen flag on. I also have a refuse pile that accepts corpses.

Reactions vary by personality. You may want to turn burial off of particularly squeamish or cowardly dwarves.

I used to work on Modest Mod and Plant Fixes.

Always assume I'm not seriously back

Look at their personalities, search for "brave".

Okay, I've disabled burial hauling on all of my haulers that have low bravery... We shall see what happens.

I don't know about weaponizing, but defensive affects are weaponization too right? Grow a forest around the edge of the map, with only a short range of movement.
