Dwarfs not burying corpses

[Blackjack]

Hi. I have a strange problem, dwarfs not burying corpses. I have a 2 tomb, i have a wood casket, coffins, slabs - all in storage, i try make a labor for bury and appointed for all dwarfs - anyway, they not want bury dead dwarfs. What i do wrong? -.-

Have you installed any of the coffins ? You can do that from the furniture menu (burial)

After installing, every coffin needs a tomb zone designation. one zone for each coffin.

The burying system is a bit obnoxious currently, you need each and every coffin placed as furniture and each and every single one needs its own tomb zone.

You can also make individual rooms for the coffins (2 tile hole with a door and coffin) and use the multi room option.

Even then sometimes the dwarves just don't show any urgency in burying them.

Unrelated, but on that note do you happen to know if archery targets are having a similar, obnoxious issue?

Tomb zone necessarily need a walls, or i can place many tomb zones in one room?

No idea honestly, still learning myself.

I had just been putting them into a barracks with an archery squad training in it and assumed it was good lol.

Archery targets used to be like that even in the free version. You have to setup a training area for each one of them individually. I don't know if that was changed in the steam version, but that's how it used to be in the free version

You can literally place the coffins in an empty room and click a tomb zone on each of them, the walls and doors makes it easier and from what I've read the dwarves like fancy tombs more but not 100% on that.

You can place many in the same room, but you'll have to individually tag each as a tomb. I do really hate that change in the steam version

Oh is that a Steam change? It's been a fair few years since I last played, did they formerly function similarly to dorms, with many caskets allowed per tomb?

You never had to tag them as tombs before, only place the coffins. Tomb zones were only used for nobles who wanted them, and you created them for that specific dwarf while he was still alive, so that he would be buried there when/if he died.

Now you need tombs that work like bedrooms for dwarves, and will be assigned after they die, it's just more convoluted, as the previous system did the exact same thing without having to designate tomb zones

Edit: in the past you could just place coffins anywhere in the fort without designating any zones and dwarves and pets would get buried in them. You could even randomly place them in the middle of hallways or wherever, it didn't matter

Ah I see. I don't really mind having to place a tomb room but I wish it'd at least just function like a dorm.

You have to designate each individual tomb as being pet-usable.

They really went out of their way to make this as awkward and annoying as possible...
