40d:Graveyard
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
The graveyard stockpile is used to store corpses and severed limbs awaiting burial. Dwarves and their pets who die will be hauled to the graveyard, other creatures are treated as garbage and will be hauled to a Template:L stockpile which accepts corpses.
It is created with p-y.
To bury dwarves so that their friends and relatives don't get unhappy thoughts about "a loved one being left to rot", first build a Template:L b-n, then build it in a location as furniture, then set it to be used for burial q-b.
You can also create a personal Template:L from a built Template:L q-r and assign it to a specific dwarf. Other dwarves (such as traders and diplomats) will be buried in any Template:L that accepts citizens, but not subdwarven creatures (such as humans or goblins).
In practice, a graveyard is more like a morgue. It's temporary storage for dead dwarves, while a proper coffin is being built and placed.
