Shovels not needed to bury medium and large corpse

I observed someone burying corpses at a rapid rate and noticed that they did not have a shovel. These were medium sized bodies. It appears the code does not stop you any longer to remind you to use a shovel.

Confirmed: I've observed this as well.

To check: does this become the case with a sufficient skill level in dig, or is it true no matter what skill one has in dig. Does it make sense at any level of dig skill?

I have ran some tests and from what I have found is that it uses the characters str score the higher the strength the larger bodys that can be buried without a shovel.

to repeat fight a larger creature that you cant normally bury without a shovel and then cast bulls strength and then you can bury the corpse with the higher str score.

Tested with a character that has no training in dig and can still bury corpses at rapid speed with STA cost, of course.

Resolved.

Thanks!

If you try to bury a fire with a shovel, it will now burn you. It only used to burn you if you buried a fire with your bare hands.

You hold a foldable steel shovel in your left hand.
You hear the sound of footsteps from the north-west.
You begin digging...
You burn yourself burying a fire...

Confirmed: Moloch, could you please reopen this bad boy and report the new problem it seems to have induced? (Er...was there a bugzilla entry? I can't find it!)

This all seems to be working properly now for the most part; However, when using a shovel to bury a fire, there is no echo for it being buried.

I'm guessing the fix to not getting burnt when using a shovel was to simply skip the relevant portion of the bury code that applies when you use your hands. So it is buried instantly, but there is no echo. Moving back to suggestions for a fix to that, though I don't foresee this making the priority cutoff any time soon.

Suggestion: When a fire is buried using a shovel, provide an echo along the lines of
"You quickly extinguish the fire."
