You can also smooth it, then carvify it into a pictureswall and create a dininghall around it. :p

Building everything out of brass then?
Using just stone and wood seems just a bit .... dunno....trogloditic?

That is why I always dig ramps (into it) as soon as I embark in an area with open water.

You can load the excess into ships, while loaded, they won't breed.
However they won't work or create commerce either.
You may design orbital barges... ships with only minimal hull, drive and loaded with holds. or orbital cities.

pit:
-have a pit.
-designate a zone over an edge.
-change the zone to [p]ond/pit
-then investigate pit settings with [P]
full will be filled with buckets of water,
empty can be used to dump animals, like in a cage or more like the new pasture zones.
edit: but you want Pits... that probably involves upright spikes.

make coffins (carpenter/mason/smith:kasket/coffin/sarcofagus), build them (underground), 'q'uerry them and activate the 'use for burial' option. dwarves that have burial activated will carry your dead to their new homes.
you can specify specifically what items a position in a squad uses, n.b. not just metal armour, but -=steel chainmail=- ...getting the dwarf to pick it up is another issue.

go on!
The Goblet will not only attract elves, but also immigrants ! .... despite the danger.
Your biggest worries should be:
-1- Preventing murders from tantrums.
-2- Getting those dwarves burried before they start stinking/ghosting your survivors, which only brings them down.
-3- The inevitable goblin ambush that is due in less than a month.

Sorry, I'm going to ask a question pertaining to the devlog...
About this dead-popcap, if unlikely, I can imagine it could become a problem if someone wishes to run history for 10000 years or so.
When a site reaches this cap, how will the dead be culled?
Will it simply not add new corpses, or will it use the FIFO-system removing an old corpse for each new entry?
Will there be some sort of weighing? (Not realistic maybe, but heck) e.g. corpses of important figures last longer than 'generic cheesemaker's corpse'.
You will likely have very extensive catacombs when the mentioned cap is reached though....possibly nobody will notice anymore at some point. But might for historical figures sooner than for peasants.

My stael industry has been beaten to death by dwarves that were unhappy about the lack of steel armour for their friends.... surely they could have found a chair to destroy ar something.
No lack of migrants -despite the danger- nor fur loincloths though.
I've opened up the cavern access, so now we get occasional visits by dirty cavedwellers and horned avians, they are jummy...better than the beetles I had yesterday anyhow.
