I havent researched cremation yet so an option is to bury people in the mean time till i do but my colonists dont seem to wanna do the task leaving enemy corpses sitting in a dump zone or around my colony, is this a bug or has the bury system been changed and im not doing something correctly any more.

Make sure to check and make sure that raider corpses are allowed in your graves!
I remember the days of giving prisoners peg legs, and then removing them to immobilize them.

I have checked its ticked but its like the colonists just ignore the bodies :/

What does it say when you try to prioritize hauling them with right click?

Wont let it its greyed out and states there isnt a location marked for them but there is graves dug ready and set to accept for:

Allow buried corpses
        Humanoid Corpses
Allow colonists
Allow strangers
Human corpses

there all checked and green in the list for every grave.

Ooo i know what was causing it, my dump zone for bodies was on critical and graves where only on important so i guess priorities on dump zone were over riding them on graves.

Just figured i would test it and it worked :) all 9 bodies are burried now yay lol

That's still a bug, I'll report it into Mantis.

Could you perhaps zip and post the savegame? I'd like to investigate.

Ok :) least i know my dump zone priorities will over ride that of graves now lol ill have to watch that in future.

And ofc ill email it to you Tynan

PsychoForge

Ok 2 copied of the save file are on thier way Tyran one before the burying happened and zones were changed to fix my error and one after, hope you find what you are looking for in them.

Tynan

I misunderstood, it's not a bug, and prioritize worked fine.

Arrr ok fair enough, easy to do at 2:20am in the morning lol

Maybe graves should default to critical on creation?
