Title: Dead Bodies Everywhere!
Post by: That_One_Guy on November 14, 2013, 03:15:11 AM
I have a World in Rimworld that has gone beyond cycle 10, the problem is, what do I do with all the dead bodies?! I have 80 graves full! I don't know what to do, or if I can do anything. Please help.[/b][/b]

Haul the corpses onto dump sites or into graves. Draft a few colonists and equip them with molotovs. Now set fire to the bodies.

or use blast charges and blow them up.
you can sell the dump sites and place the bomb in the middle. just make sure to forbid them before doing that.

Yeah, as of now there really isn't a very viable way to deal with long-term corpse build up. Half a map of graves is silly. I mean, getting them cleaned up and out of the way is easy. Just a simple hauling priority. But mass graves is silly.

Personally I think actual graves should be limited to colonists and raider corpses should be burned or eaten by wolves or something.

Why spend the extra metal on blasting charges? Just use frag grenades to clear corpses :D. I hear that's equally as effective.

Frag nades for Rubble/dump areas.
Molotov's for graves.

Stick with this & you'll clear stuff up easily. :)

Personally, slag/rubble are too useful to dispose of.

They are like free sandbags with no upkeep! And movable!

yep, rubble is awesome

nades clear bodies quicker than molotovs if its raining and you keep your guy tossing them. However, keep throwing molotovs and the graves will catch alight and spread, setting the whole gravesite alight without the need of someone staying there to throw.

They should rot and make people very upset to be near the smell.

We need a kitchen and then we call the food "Soylent green"! :-D

Edit: Upps, somebody was faster with this idea. ;-)

The bit on disposing of bodies with fire should be like, an automatic "tip" given in-game when someone gets a molotov cocktail. Cause so few people know about it.

I built a crematorium of sorts, a dumping area surrounded by a couple layers of concrete to prevent further fire spread. It holds 64 bodies and raiders are dumped there and disposed of after each raid. Playing on Chill Callie, though, the number of raiders I get thrown at me (in the region of 20-40) means my colonists take the next couple days dumping bodies by which time, another raid has dropped in. Or, if I'm lucky, a supply drop and THEN a raid. I have a long corridor (covers about 3/4 of the map, totally unneccesary but what else to sink metal into?) and everyone has M24s. So while the raiders slowly trudge forwards, they all get gunned down by M24s. Probably also why it takes so long to get the bodies burned, taking 90% of the time spent hauling just scrambling across the sandbags.
