Dorfs ignoring corpses seems weird.
« on: April 20, 2010, 07:02:27 pm »

So, I order my hunting dwarf to wrestle a ground hog to death. After a day or so, he strangles it to death. I try to get it to the butchery before it rots, but the dwarves won't touch it. I even tried marking for dumping. Nothing.
P.S. Dwarves pick up refuse from outside is enabled

Try setting o-F to claim other death items.  I had to do that to get them to drag in the three mountain goat skeletons that had been littering the hillside for several years.

I'll try that.
Edit: It worked! Thanks!

Do you have the "butcher a dead animal" task assigned at the butcher's shop?
