How do get rid of the mass grave in my back yard

Is there any way to get rid of the 50+ bodies in my backyard without starting a fire and burning down my house or making a graveyard full of random peoples re animated corpses?

It seems like this is the best option I suppose since I cant be bothered to dig that many graves at the moment and I don't want to burn down my safe house

If you do that there is a chance some of them can get up, devs decided that zombies can revive cyclying through their decomposition stages. Better to make a campfire in the road, pile the bodies and burn them for 5 secs

I was wondering why they kept getting back up lol, my water ran out so I've been pooping on the corpse pile at night and a couple of times I've been jumped by my victims lol. Thank you for confirming that its a feature and not it's biters wandering to the pile.

Actually loot them first:) Make a few rags or sheet ropes of some clothes.

then you can bury them, and sledge them, or as mentioned burn them.
(For those wondering yes, putting down sand around the campfire 100% prohibits the fire from accidentally spreading.

Need to cover also the diagonal angles with sand though to make it 100% fire proof.)

But yes you can also leave them there and wait 2 week or so, and they should disappear. It depends how long you set for the bodies to disappear. (sandbox settings)
Once i had to kill over about 800 (maybe a 1000?) zeds near my base.

It is best to lead big bands away and kill them further away from your home, where you can safely loot them and leave them to rot.

I agree, there’s a lot of unused unwanted denim he’s leaving on those zombies. I walk around the kill zone and strip this stuff and just leave it on the floor until I’m ready to do a big clothing collection. Only the leather and denim though the rest of the rags are junk to me.

Remember though zombies can wake up from death now. So burning burying or carrying the corpses further away parking vehicles ontop of them lol maybe a safer solution than leaving to rot

I always loot the bodies I leave behind, I only grab leather tho since it has better bite defense so usually I leave the denim alone. The sand tip is gonna help a lot though I was wondering if there was a way to keep fire from spreading. I'm gonna go collect a bunch of sand and surround my house with it alongside making a metal burn shack in my back yard filled and surrounded with sand.

Yeah the 700 or so I was trying to burn, primarily, all came from inside the two houses I cleared; insane zombie level can be fun. Breaking up a zombie house party spanning the two houses you wanted to join for a base, well, that was my situation.

Metal walls/floors will stop fire from spreading. In multiple playthroughs, i've built metal lined rooms or corners where I actually had a campfire inside a building (mainly for warmth in winter).

I literally call them "fireplaces", as they are a place to put fire. You could build a "burn pit" for bodies the same way, not have to worry about it spreading. Sand sounds a lot simpler though.

Thanks for the confirmation, I'm probably gonna use metal anyways cause I have a massive amount of sheets in my safe house, I'm a metal worker, and it looks cooler lol.

It is also one of the things i level up quite hard, cuz i dont want to dismantle everything:)
So i completely forgot about this.
However in doors you can also just use the sand to pour on the ground and prohibit the fire from spreading. If you have no electricity no bbq or gas oven you can use this solution to cook inside. Also making a sand block for your genny can help too if you tend to forget regular maintenance.

They'll decompose like Latios said.

But if you're impatient, just put all the bodies stacked on each other as a single unit, then light a campfire where the bodies are and be done with it.

The only thing is the ashes will remain and I'm not 100% sure if the ashes disappear (or, at least, it'll be a while before they do).

I installed a mod that lets me clean ashes so if they really bother me I can get rid of them, If its where I'm burning all the corpses ill probably leave them.

You don't need a mod to clean up ashes. You just need a shovel if I remember correctly.

Yeah and i think a trowel also works, but the ashes disappear on their own i think too, if not you can also place them with the shovel in trash.

You can yoink a recycling bin from Spiffo's that can contain 50 (65 with Organized) weight. Just put it down on your backyard, dump the corpses there, then delete. Not the simplest way, but pretty clean.

I tried the big blue dumpster bins, though, I don't have an option to drop the corpse in. Are you referring to the blue dumpsters, or the green bins? (I have yet to find and use a green bin since your first post, they're elusive! lol)

[Oragepoilu]

Drag the corpse from your inventory to the bin.

I think it requires a sandbox setting enabled. (And also keep in mind bodies weigh i think 20 pounds so you need a large dumpster to fit it i in)

I have a hard time finding why you would think that. I checked just in case, new game on apo and you can just drag the corpse from your inventory to the bin, then delete it.

Ok, I was able to drag the corpse in, sadly when sorted alphabetically the corpse is under Z. Hence why I didn't see it. I don't see a 'delete' option. Also, both the blue dumpster and green bin each seem to hold only 1 body.
