Can't bury corpse
I don't understand why. I have built a grave allowing everything.
The pawn has the job enabled (he can do all jobs)
He is unrestricted in area.
He is literally standing adjacent to the corpse (of a raider) and to the empty grave.

My only choices are to consume the corpse or haul it back to a stockpile. I have no 'bury corpse' order.

I don't get why. First time it happens, and I have played some hundreds of hours already... weird.

might be a mod causing it, but there is also the incinerator you can try. if you picked max map size, it does say problems my occur and pawn may act strangly.

Graves are 1 corpse stockpiles so the hauling is the correct option there.
If they're not carrying them to the grave, then do the usual things when you want thing X in Y stockpile.

I think graves are now set by default to only accept colonist.
you have to chance that to allow raider in there too.

Also make sure the grave's priority is higher than a corpse stockpile's.

Well, you can always tell your butcher table to allow humans. Then let it make kibble from only human meat and set it to make forever

Maybe someone else is hauling another corpse to that particular grave?

Actually the job designation was 'hauling' but it led to the corpse being buried in the end. It was misleading...

I have had this problem with the mass grave mod in beta 19. Haven't tried mass graves in 1.0. As soon as I turned it off and started a new game the graves started to work again.

I'm indeed using Mass Grave. It ended up working though. But I think that dumping in a mass grave is an hauling job, not a burying one.

^ Yes it's hauling. Also, only one person can haul to a mass grave at a time. I usually have 4 mass graves, which means that 4 people can haul corpses at the same time.

That's the theory, because as for stockpiles, if 2 people target the same, the first task is cancelled!

Have you clicked on "Allow" on the corpse?

This thread is about a year and a half old I would imagine they found a solution long ago.

For anyone who is having this problem, I have the prison labor mod enabled, if the area with the corpse is marked as a labor area your colonists cannot bury the corpse.
