Is there a way to safely burn corpses ?

[1stReaper]

in my last game i had a horde get lured to my base by a heli-troller
and didn't fancy abandoning the base for the time a while.

so thanks to a 10+ ingame real time days worth of collecting ammo, i made up my mind to take on the horde, took some anti-depressants, beta-blockers, loaded up on my best combat gear, capped out on ammo and guns

managed to deal with the horde after 3 hours of rl time keeping running around for ages to keep them bunched up into a massive pile, so i could deal with the corpses all at once.

to which i then get my gas and a lighter and started to set fires...
after the 13th and around....... 100+ bodies later my character stupidly caught himself on fire..... and ..... i died......

sooo my question is

is there any way to safely set a fire without a ember jumping onto me and turning me into the human fireball and pretty much being a insta-kill

(for example)
lighting the fire a few steps away from where the fire will spawn,
making some kind of gas trail for the fire to follow then sets on fire.
throwing a molotov or something

Throw a Molotov. Or do a burn instead of using guns, that way you can keep the zombies on fire and walking behind you until they expire. Or do a siren burn so they all stay bunched up around the car while they burn.

alright :),
cheers bud, i forgot about molotovs lol...
was building frame traps (from hydrocraft i believe) but the fire spawns are random lol
first one i didn't know the "blast range".... so i think i ended up blowing my arm off lol,

the 2nd time i had a flame spawn right next to me even tho i was a fair bit away from the blast range

im presuming the siren burns are pretty much hide in range of a police car then set it on fire from a distance ?

You could also stand away from the pile you're trying to burn and then select the burn corpse option. Your character will then walk over to the furthest distance that the action can be performed at and proceed to burn the pile completely safely.

I always forget that option :o

edit: and yes, siren burn works more or less like that, but it's a bit more tricky now that zombies can crawl beneath vehicles. Still perfectly doable, just make you sure surround the ambulance or whatever with other vehicles to create a wall. Otherwise the zombies will destroy the siren before it can do the job.

If you can clear an area around the siren vehicle, you could also build wooden walls around it to help keep the zeds away, but that takes a fair bit of time and is pretty risky.

Good example of that here:

If you have default zombie settings, just let em rot. Collect em in one big corpse pile in some range from living quoters and forget about it. After few days (i don't remeber how much exactly, arround a two weeks) all corpses just wanish without any external work. Main bonus - you don't destroy anyting with fire.
