Is murder a hammering or just imprisonment? I'll be very annoyed if not making shell crafts after fish go extinct is death while a vampire who's killed 8 dwarfs only gets time served and goes right back to draining dorfs as soon as he's out.

Hammering, although vampires tend to survive that.

Pretty sure if the hammering knocks their teeth out they don't bite anymore.

How do I get my dwarves to take the body to the garbage zone?

Mark them for dumping. Garbage can icon, center toolbar on the bottom, right most button on that toolbar.

Does it actually have to be built over a pit?

No, BUT, if they dump something into magma and it's big, like a troll corpse, there will be a splash and magma mist will form which is always !!FUN!!

The zone tool's description makes it sound like the garbage zones I've placed on the floor should still work.

They do, but you'll have to wait for them to decompose completely.

if the garbage zone has to be a pit, am I supposed to mark the zone over the empty space, or on the floor at the bottom?

If the garbage zone is on the side of a pit, they will throw it off the edge and down into whatever is below. If it's magma and you're throwing a corpse down there, it will burn up pretty quickly and then you don't have to look at it anymore.

I'm finding that even at larger populations (Well over 200), that the game FPS is sitting between 30-50 depending on what's happening. Also finding that setting pathfinding priorities is helping a lot with that while flowing water is still killing it somewhat.

Are old clothes the ones with an x in front of the name? Will the dwarves ever take them off or do they only take them off when they have a replacement? A lot of my dwarves are still wearing old clothing.

Yes. The 'x' indicates that it's worn out. Dorfs don't like wearing worn out clothing and armor.

I've found that if you designate the owned clothing for dumping, it works the same way, losing its ownwe after a few days.You don't have to first forbid and then dump.

Yea, I think you're right. I did notice that they were eventually being dumped but i assumed it was the owner doing the dumping.

Might as well use that oppurtunity and sell those old clothes to the Dwarven trader or give them to them for free once they have no mroe ownership.

This is true, but my current world situation is slightly fucked. My civilization was wiped out after everyone went to war with us over a copper goblet.

So, I got a migrant who also happens to be a necromancer. I noticed this shortly before they started raising the dead. Now my corpse stockpile is killing children and pets, and they're rising as zombies to kill more.
How am I meant to deal with this, other than spotting this ahead of time and walling the dwarf in question into their bedroom?

He'll do it if there's a dead body around and he's scared.

So you need to keep him away from dead stuff and scary stuff. Or wall him in or kill him.

I've got one as well. I had him locked away, but I ended up liking him. So I let him have his freedom and instead I make an effort to crush all corpses under a drawbridge in the hope that I get lucky and he never gets upset in the location with a dead body.

He can be usefull I guess for invasions. Like if you kept a bunch of corpses at a strategic place and had him locked in there, you could unlock the door if there's an attack - he should then exit the room and freak out and animate the bodies. Which is nice if nobody else is around except invaders and him.

He can also reanimate dead dwarves as intelligent undead, which then become citizens like they were when they're alive. I haven't used that but seems like a good thing to do if a high skilled dwarf dies.

I could be wrong, but it seems like they will raise friendly dwarves regardless of if they are afraid. Either that or they were being chased by something and my legendary clothier just got a lucky, second chance.
