![]() Because nobody would want that to happen! The warmer biomes don't have this worry. They should be safe from freezing so long as all the tiles with water show up as Subterranean when you look at them. Be careful not to put these outside in any biome which freezes, because freezing water will kill anyone in the tub when it freezes over. If you do it outdoors in one of the warmer biomes, build a roof over it so that the water tiles become Inside to prevent evaporation. To set up a basic Dwarven Bathtub, just make a channel and fill it with 3/7 water via a pond zone, being careful to remove or deactivate the zone before it gets too full. The tub ensures that visitors are clean, while the mist destroys contaminants in the tub and gives happy thoughts. A single "pile of forgotten beast extract", sitting inside a Dwarven Bathtub in a high traffic area, can easily infect your entire fort as each dwarf walks through it.Ĭombine a Dwarven Bathtub with a mister suspended above it to form a Dwarven Shower. Because of this, Dwarven Bathtubs set up without complex sealing, washing, and draining functions will keep the contagion inside them, potentially exposing dwarves and objects to contaminants and contaminated water each time they pass through. Fortress cleanliness can be helped along in a few ways, such as by setting up a Dwarven Bathtub as described below, by creating a waterfall in an area that your dwarves will walk through, or using complex mist generation schemes.Ī simple method to clean your denizens is the Dwarven Bathtub, but note that while these will remove and contain infectious contaminants, the contaminants themselves remain dangerous. While dwarves do a decent job of keeping themselves clean with a water source and soap, they don't always bathe immediately and pets and livestock can't wash themselves. Even without tracking, dirty dwarves are more likely to get infected if they're injured. However, this might be a little less important if tracking contaminants is disabled, which it is by default in v43.05 in fortress mode. Given the number of diseases carried by forgotten beasts and the risks of infection, and the threat of evil weather in evil biomes, it's a good idea to try to keep your dwarves clean. For style points, construct the ramps out of soap. A grating beneath the dwarf will permit washed substances to drain.Ī simple Dwarven Bathtub constructed out of microcline. Any blood and other substances will be washed to the floor to spread to other dwarves and animals barefoot creatures, like animals, children, and many dwarves, can become afflicted with possibly-poisonous substances washed off another's body, clothing or weapons. Burrowing a dwarf with only Cleaning assigned will keep an area much cleaner than it would remain on its own.ĭwarves occasionally clean themselves, using any water source, and soap if available (see bug below.) They will do so even if they are restricted from the cleaning labor. An effective way to get an area clean is to select a dwarf for the task, remove all their professions except Cleaning, and assign them to a small burrow designated around the area to be cleaned. ![]() Defining a meeting area might get the dwarves to clean that area more often. You can encourage cleaning by ensuring that dwarves with the appropriate labor regularly complete jobs in the vicinity. In order to initiate a cleaning task, a dwarf needs to be idle 'near' a mess (within X tiles on the same z-level). It is not possible to manually order dwarves to clean up specific tiles. Rain will clean any tiles exposed to it (typically outdoors tiles,) and natural or generated mist will clean any creature passing through it and gradually wash the tile it is in. Dwarves also clean melted ice off the beautiful frozen (Inside) ground when ice melts in places where the temperature is conveniently high enough. Creatures can track and spread blood, ichor, and various hostile extracts across floors (though direct tracking is disabled in fortress mode by default in v0.43.05). Cleaning is enabled by default in all dwarves.ĭwarves automatically clean interior floors of contaminants other than mud. Dwarves clean a 3x3 tile area at a time, removing contaminants such as vomit, blood, and broken arrows. In order for dwarves to perform this task, it must be enabled inside the labor menu's Other Jobs tab. Please view the Bugs section for details.Ĭleaning is a type of labor used by dwarves in order to clean tiles. This feature has one or more outstanding bugs.
