Tomb

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

A tomb is a room designated from a coffin (or casket or sarcophagus). A tomb can be assigned to a specific dwarf, or to no dwarf at all. The primary function of tombs is to keep nobles happy: certain nobles demand their own tomb, and the more self-important the noble is, the higher the quality they will require. In some circumstances a noble will get an unhappy thought if an "inferior" dwarf has a higher-quality tomb, however it is unclear what quality threshold the tomb must be to trigger the thought. Nobles may also store certain favored objects in their tombs.

Making a tomb for every dwarf in your fortress can be time consuming. More convenient than creating tombs for common dwarves is to designate coffins for burial -- a dwarf who dies will be placed in a randomly available coffin set for burial, unless he or she has a tomb assigned.
