Not sure if this will help anyone but no one was automatically burning corpses for me until I deleted my farm zones. I am playing with zedmulate mod so maybe that has something to do with the issue. I like this mod tho thanks for making it :)

Even though there's an incinerator in the area, other NPCs in my community don't burn corpses. However, my main character occasionally automatically dumps corpses into the incinerator.

And the incinerator is so noisy that I'm afraid to go near it.

The incineration range is 20 tiles but you can change it in the settings file, maybe try increasing it to 40?

Is the incinerator assigned to your community? That's the only reason I can think of that would make them not incinerate the bodies because If it isn't, they won't use it.

But if it is, then I'll check about increasing the incineration range. Normally they won't prioritize incinerating bodies, and only do so when they aren't busy. Are they sitting around a campfire and/or doing nothing?

My members don't burn automatically. I have to do it manually. The default is 'true'. What command should I change to make my members move automatically? Also, how far is the distance in units of 10?

The NPC cannot remove the ashes from the incinerator. When NPCs try to take out the ashes, they will just walk motionless beside the incinerator.

You're welcome! @sereal I'll reduce the volume of the fire in the next patch, I'll see if I can make it a setting as well

Thank you for the mod. Really handy! Is there a setting to control the volume of the incinerator? The roaring fire sound is a bit too loud imho.

@SweetCaptn yea I started a new savefile and now it works lol. Ive always used mods midgame. Didnt know we can use it before starting a new save file. Thanks! Neat mod btw

So turns out you can put living people in the incinerator if they are unconscious, but the mod doesn't kill them before erasing the corpse, so it's a good way to get rid of community members you don't like.

"Make it look like an accident".

No no, you just have to select the mod when creating a new game. Is this what you did?

so....i have to start new game then activate the mod? Im quite lost! Ive built in my gameplay but it wont light up nor anyone tried to cremate anything there

I better follow your workshop then, got this mod mostly as a wsy to hide the evidence after assasinations of looter leaders, and it works wonderfully for that.

Sure! that's planned but I'll release a separate mod for it

Would it be possible to give the ashes an use? Like an alternative material to charcoal (like how corrugated steel can replace steel), or usable on growing trees or crops to make them grow faster?

I recommend changing the entrance of the prop to -1,0, and the angle to 270.
That puts the entrance arrow on the open side.

I'll change the description to "Requires a new save" in the meantime

Hmm Ill try the mod again and see what else could be causing that. So the incinerator is lit on, has bodies inside but they aren't burning? Might have to start a new save, but I still don't see why it's not working from the get go

Doesn't appear to be working in my current save that I originally reported the issue on. Ill let you know if a new save works though.

why i cant add it in my save game ?? the game always crash

Tried it both on Story and Sandbox modes without issues, so hopefully its now working as it should

Just uploaded a patch, still not sure if this fixes that issue. But maybe it does! Let me know if anything changed

Story mode

Solo game, started the mod with a fresh start

He's correct, the bodies are not being incinerated on default settings. I've had four bodies in the incinerator going on 40 hrs of play time now and several instances that members of my community are just standing around doing nothing.

Did you change any settings? And how long did you wait (because it isn't immediate)?

tried it, but no bodies are burning up

Hey! You can't actually order them to incinerate bodies (would require more work), they will do so automatically when they aren't busy. You can increase the range at which they will look for bodies to incinerate by increasing "NpcIncinerateRange" in the settings file.

If you were looking for the ability to order characters to incinerate all bodies in an area, that's not in. Maybe in the future if many people request it but I'm done with the mod at the moment

Português Brasil: não consigo mandar um npc da base fica coletando os corpos para queimar como e que faz isso

Ingles: I can't send an NPC from the base to collect the bodies to burn, how does he do that?

Can you make the incinerator generate heat? It might be interesting to use it in the Winter Apocalypse mod.

Do you have a toolbox equipped and level 3 construction skill? If that is the case, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be visible

I don't see the recipe to build this. I am in sandbox mode and I am in coop but in singleplayer it isn't visible either.

@SweetCaptn dude your mods are awesome,,, are we gonna get any survivalist collection from it? like the one you created for dayz...
thanks.

@SweetCaptn I would love that very much, to me that is the main thing that is missing in the game right now, the interactivity of the settlements with the world, they feel as if they are a separate entity in their own little bubble. Them sending scavenging parties would help a lot to bring the world alive, hostiles could even end up fighting each other when out scavenging in the world.

I wish i could help you somehow but i know very little of coding.

Those are all great ideas :) I had actually been working on a mod adding "scavenging parties", with AI settlements sending scavengers through the map looking for resources. It just gets very time consuming, but I'll probably start working on it again at some point

These mod ideas could be bring a lot more of life to the game and it's (rather passive) settlements as they would move around more to get their food and could also compete with other settlements over the hunting grounds and scavenging areas, making the game more dynamic and unpredictable.

Part 2: Mod Idea 2: SIS Role Trapper - This mod would be just like the hunter one, but they could use an item like "Rabbit trap" to spawn rabbit meat in the respective spots around hunting grounds.

Mod Idea 3: SIS Role Scavenger - This mod could work similar to "SIS Look For Weapons" And the NPCs could have a radius to where they can look for stuff, these could be generic items that the settlement needs, It could also work similar to "SIS Fishing" by having an item like "Scavenger's backpack" the scavenging spots could be around houses, cities, anywhere where loot would be more common, than just spawn random items from a list to them. It would be even better if they could go as a Squad due to the danger of going to cities.

Hey @SweetCaptn You are clearly the biggest modder for this game right now and i use pretty much half of your mods in my games, thank you for them and for your efforts, as i was browsing your mods i got a couple of mod Ideas that could be derived from others of your mods and due to character limitation, i will divide this comment in 2 parts. Part 1:

Mod Idea 1: SIS Role Hunter - This mod could work as an almost copy and paste from SIS Fishing, we could have an Item like "Hunting Bow" that NPCs could equip like the fishing pole and go to spots in the hunting grounds to spawn venison meat in their inventory, just like the fish, it could also have cooldowns and be chance based whether they suceed or not, this way NPC settlements could finally have their own souce of meat and players could have hunters.

I think mass graves could work too, but out of curiosity is there a way to create an NPC only incinerator that costs only 1 wood? This way they could have it without needing the steel

Maybe I'll just make a "Mass Graves" mod or something similar

I think making it so they spawn in NPC settlements would be easier, since they would have no way to make the steel ingots to build it. But even making them spawn in their settlements is going to be annoying to get right.. I'll look into it

Can you make it so it spawns in NPC settlements? Or they build it when they have the resources?

Uploaded a patch adding the ability for npcs to incinerate bodies on their own (read the description). Let me know if you find bugs.

Thank you for the kind words :)

This is my favorite new item, I have been cleaning my camp from all the bodies. thank you very much.

e possivel mandar um npc queima os corpos ?

Man ,you save the day. thanks .

Oh damn, didn't even realize. It's been changed to SteelIngots. I will eventually make CorrugatedIron come back, and make it harvestable from Cars maybe..

Man ,I'm sorry but they are right ,corrugated iron is no longer in the game ,I didn't realize it coz I added corrugated iron through console in the first place. So plz make steel instead.

Isn't corrugated iron no longer in the game ? i remember seeing somebody said it on the official discord.
