"Sakzul, ghostly wrestler, has been put to rest."
All it took was a casket. I don't know what these new slabs are for, then.

When you built the casket, was the corpse moved to it? As I recall, the new memorial whatevers are for situations where recovering the body is impractical or impossible. Attempt to replicate, this time doing everything that slab lets you do and see if you can get it to lay the spirit to rest. If you can't get it then, destroy the body and try again. FOR SCIENCE!

Do we know if old version forts can experience ...ectoplasmic phenomena? It might have an impact on current succession or story forts from previous versions, which might be cool.

Also, for Dante, try atom-smashing a dwarf, then see if a slab is necessary.

With over 230 dead Dwarves in my fort, the majority of which have not been properly buried, I think it's safe to say that this doesn't affect old forts.

[!!crundle!!]

I'll go test where/when the spoiler happens, because one test isn't enough.

expect !!fun!!. OOOOoooooOOOooooOOOoooOOo

When I built the casket and assigned it as usable, it was first listed as a "tomb" belonging to the ghost, rather than as an assigned coffin. Presumably because the ghost is an actual unit, rather than an item like normal corpses are. Then when he was actually interred, it turned into a regular assigned-coffin. Incidentally, I later uprooted all my coffins and moved them somewhere else, emptying them in the process, and nothing happens.

Also I uh... I can't actually build any slabs. I have no stone at all. Actually, I'll go change the reactions to cheat me up some now.

[Organum]

How do you have no stone? Is it the aquifer?

[Dante]

Yeah. I've got some now but I still can't figure slabs out.

[dbay]

what happens when you atom-smash the spook itself? is it immune? does it vanish?

[LoSboccacc]

what about the baron fix? does that properly enable other nobles?

I would like to know this as well.

[Dariush]

Why doesn't my dwarf adventurer have axe skill in list on creation?

[onodera]

You also cannot embark on any settlement now, not just on another fortress. Even practically empty elven retreats are off-limits.

[Gearheart]

I just noticed the [CHASM], [MAGMA_POOL], and [PIT] tags in the list of changes. Are the old chasms back in?

[Eagle_eye]

let's hope...

Rock Slabs can be engraved at the craftsdwarf's workshop. They then say something like "Here lies Urist. 252-652. He was united with horn silver."

Not sure what that achieves.

United... with... horn... silver?
