Dead bodies

[Actimel]

What are you people doing with dead bodies lying around? I have massive corpses on streets, yards, everywhere. the flys are all over the place.. how to get rid of them fast ?

Well for vanilla your options are bury them or burn them, quickest way to burn them is to place them all in a tight pile then get a gas can with a lighter and burn them. you can also place a campfire on the ground then throw the zeds on top and light the campfire. If you like mods the creamation mod works well.

Just a side note:
If you want to burn them, do it in a parking lot, or any large asphalted area. Not on grass near your base.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Have a field nearby to my island base. Let the corpses rest there. They are also stinking up the servo, but don't go there much.

but what about items inside bodies? will they burn too and vanish ? I havent tried burn them, I just take bodies and transport them to far place and put them there.. Its kinda heavy job to do :)
Will bodies vanish or skeletons remains or smth ?

Yes, any items within the corpse's inventory will be destroyed in the process of burning them. On a side note, if you have Hydrocraft installed and got a kiln, you can turn the corpses into charcoal. There are other things you can do with them providing you have the right skill levels as well, but that is as far as I'm going with this.

Items in inventory & burning
As [DP]18Bravo said, such items will be gone. As such, you can use a zombie pile as a trash storage to get rid at some point.

Will bodies vanish
I believe this will only work on default setting on corpse despawn, so you can turn it off in sandbox setting.

Added a full decay for zombie corpses: they go from stage to stage until disapearing totally (they can become skeleton before disapearing)​

In sandbox, you can choose any timeframe you want for zombie corpses to despawn.
I am pretty sure, at least some of them, became skeletal before they vanished in the last IWBUMS game I played (v41). I set them to despawn after 30 days. I hate dragging them to a pile for burning...

I load the zombie bodies into the trunk of a car and drive them off to a parking lot and burn the bodies, then use a shovel to clear the ashes.

i burn bodies.
i try to never kill zombies in the road if it can be helped. and i always try to walk zombie to the same spot and kill as many as i can in it's own pile. then i just have piles of bodies around town on street corners as i roam and clear area's. if flies and stuff get to bad in an area im wondering i just burn the few piles around.

My sandbox setting was previously to -1 but , I tweeked my sandbox setting to put 60 days or 1440 hours because the corpse laying around my base access are getting a bit out of hand at month 3 out of 12 toward peak 16 pop... and the prospect of draggings thousands of zombies to burn them kind of won over having permanent access to their inventory.

60 days is probably overkill as a time frame to loot them of any valuable items... but I can always decrease it further.

if you want, you can download a mod that makes zombies eat corpses. Upside? cinematic af. downside? Attract lots of zombies to one body, but turns them into skeleton. turn of hordes in sandbox settings to change it
