Getting rid of Mangled corpes
I've got a regiment of hammerlords going. They tend to leave a lot of mangled corpses, which clog up my outside refuse pile outside and don't seem to disappear. Is there a use for the mangled skeletons that remain or a good way to get rid of them?

Dig big hole with chamber at bottom.
Cover the top with drawbridge.
Dump all refuse into hole.
Capture elves.
Dump live elves into hole

Have you tried the dwarven atom smasher?

Build a bridge on some land (no hole). Raise it vertically.

Designate a dumping ground for corpse parts on that ground.

When you have a pile of body parts, lower the bridge. It slams down on the body parts and annihilates them into nothingness.

I've not done this in the Steam version but it worked in classic with Masterwork mod installed at least.

Lame. I suppose you could make the stockpile, pile up the junk, remove the stockpile, mark the items as forbidden, then build the bridge and slam it down?

Just throw it in the river and let the elves deal with it downstream.

I have a cunning plan.

Is it possible to designate a dump zone over an open hole? Put the bridge below said hole. The dwarves would drop the junk down the hole and then you trigger the bridge to pulverise it.

Optionally drop elves down the hole.
