Dwarves wont bury dead
« on: August 30, 2011, 06:52:26 am »

My squad killed a load of goblins that attacked, two of my dwarves died in the process but their bodies are still there. I know the area is accessible, as its the main corridor and has dwarves running up and down it all the time. The bodies aren't forbidden (but the clothes were, i changed it and they got picked up). They have now completely rotted and are skeletons - the miasma has gone and still no one moves them!

I have empty coffins spare, and the path to them is ok, orders "gather dead" is allowed (in both orders and orders-Forbidden).. Is there any other reason I am missing?

Did you set the constructed coffins to be used in burial?

Check them with 'q' and if those aren't used to burial then press 'b' I think.

You know, they could teach maths like this at school. "There are 105 dwarves in a settlement. A goblin invasion appears and 67 die. Then a migrant wave..."
