I've noticed all of the creatures in my fortress are coated in blood, vomit, and mud.

Suggestion for a simple fix: when a creature walks through water, there would be a chance that dirt would be removed.

The "contaminant" system by which creatures get coated with that crap has been substantially reworked for the upcoming version, so there's a chance that this fix is already in place.  It's a good idea in any case.

e: I just asked about this in the FotF thread.  Will bump this one when there's an answer.

So, probably not coming in the next version, unfortunately.

Next version question: with the new contaminant system, will water flows (and magma, I guess) be capable of washing away contaminants from creatures and items?  Currently they just deposit an additional covering.

The actual contaminants-on-units system didn't change that much, so I don't think anything has changed there yet.

Bump because this just got implemented!

This makes me wonder if it'll make people think twice about drowning gobbos in their water supply.

All my water undergoes "Boil before drinking" anyway.
