Editing v0.31 Talk:Slab

The Filechanges txt also references ghost attacks: I am guessing this has to do with slabs in a sense, as dwarves who haven't been buried due to dying in volcanoes may need to be memorialized in order to put their souls to rest. This is speculation, however. Also, the file changes text references a [HOTKEY_CRAFTS_SLAB:ALT+S] which implies slabs may also be built at craftdwarve's workshops. I don't have the time to play at the moment or I'd actually update the article to reflect this. There are seriously a lot of interesting new changes, like the CONNECTOR tag for children as well as new skill rate tags.[[User:JohnnyMadhouse|JohnnyMadhouse]] 22:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
:The craftsdwarf's shop has "Engrave memorial slab" order...--[[User:Another|Another]] 23:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

There is currently a minor bug with slabs - they are listed twice in stockpiles menu:once on the second page after "statues" and once on the very last page. After producing a slab - contents of these entries are identical.--[[User:Another|Another]] 23:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
=== Shall there be memorials to these? ===
As for me, with 0.31.18, "Engrave memorial slab" is cluttered with all the dead goblins, killed. It also has two forgotten beasts in. A corpse of one forgotten beast is still lying there, most of the goblin corpses have gone in magma. The situation looks funny!

-PS
-On slabs it's engraved:
- * This is an exceptional dolomite memorial to Oggez. The slab reads "In memory of Oggez / Died 1055".
- * This is an exceptional talc memorial to Lat. The slab reads "In memory of Lat / d.1055".
-PPS Dwarves will never forget tasty meat of Oggez, tons of which they've got after butchering. :)
-== Dwarf ghost ==
-Recently (0.31.18) an undead creature poped up in my fortress. It's symbol is Ñ.
-It's description says:  <blockquote>
-A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry.
-A forlorn haunt, seeking out known locations or drifting around the place of death. This spirit has not been properly memorialized or buried.
-</blockquote>
-Let's engrave a slab and see what happens.--[[User:Ivze|Ivze]] 23:37, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
-UPD: Engraved the slab and built it. At the moment of building the slab came an announcement: "Melbil Duradatír, Ghostly Engineer has been put to rest."
-The feature is clearly present and will encourage people engrave slabs to the dead dwarves, not only putting the dead dwarf in the coffin. --[[User:Ivze|Ivze]] 23:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
-:See [[Memorial]] and [[Ghost]] - we already know about this. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:57, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
