Zombie Corpses should be able to go in Trunks and other large containers
i understand why they wanted to make corpses more dangerous and more of a hassle to deal with, it just comes at the cost of taking away agency from the player.

why cant i load my car with a couple zombies to dump them somewhere?
whats stopping me from tossing a corpse out the window?

i like the change, it just needs to be finished i suppose.
it feels like i should be able to do more with this system, but you are just hardlocked into burning corpses as your solution.

B42 is unstable, and grappletech (the thing they use for grabbing corpses) is brand-new so it's not going to be implemented immedietely

Someone said that they actually disabled the option to put corpses on vans. (Containers)
So people will not deleter corpses.
Not sure if it is true or not.

Either way, currently grapple tech is completely useless. So not implementing it with the unstable branch would have been the better option. Or provide some kind of subbranch for users to try it out, without removing a tool of them they had access to previously.

I bury them (5 to a grave) if they are near enough to my base to be a problem. If there were dozens that I needed to dispose of, burning them sounds easier than loading them into a car and driving them away.
I mean, you should be able to do that though, and I'm certain it will be back in the game again as B42 gets fleshed out. Just not load them into a dumpster and press delete. I'm a little surprised that garbage cans and dumpsters still have a delete button.

Anyway... if you really want a convenient way to deal with corpses, just set it so they despawn after only a few hours.

They rot after about 5 in game days. So as long as they aren't immediately in your base, you just gotta drag 'em away a bit. I had about 40+ within the fully zoomed out screen around my house (thanks helicopter) and it didn't bother my guy except to leave the house and get away from it.

that is the issue draggin is slow and very taxing. It exhausts your character very fast;)
Also they disappear in 216 hours on apocalypse's default setting 9 days.
But yeah they turn to skeleton at around day 6 or 7.

So long as a corpse isn't inside, it can't affect you with corpse sickness. (given you're also indoors)
