Do you have to deal wth ghosts when restoring an old fort? seems like a pain if you have to make a slab for all 100 dwarves that got slaughtered in whatever hell on earth wiped them out.

All night without a single response?

I've had a few ghosts show up, but not 100% of the dwarves who were previously present. I guess you could go slab everyone, but I just waited and busted them once they started their whole haunting routine.

I'm pretty sure there's either a cap or some other variable limiting ghost numbers, I seldom see anything beyond the first and I haven't seen any cases where people deliberately trying to get ghosts managed to get every last dead dwarf to rise and haunt, the rate just seems to slow down tremendously once they actually start showing up.

I'd suggest making all the slabs, but only engraving as they pop up. Probably make a slab stockpile behind a dedicated Craftsdwarf workshop so it happens quick.

I played a no burial fort for about 50 years. As far as I could tell there's a less than 10% chance a dwarf becomes a ghost, and even if they do the particularly bad ghosts are super rare.
