A treat as inside zone
« on: December 21, 2010, 06:05:44 pm »
I'm fed up of having my outside meeting areas covered in vermin remains. Would it be possible to be able to specify a zone as "treat as indoors" so dwarfs will clean and pickup litter,without having to change the orders to pickup outside rubbish?

Possibly a kind of automated, always-defined "Indoors" burrow? It starts out including nothing, all newly mined space is added to it, and whenever a floor is removed, any space that's now exposed to the sky is removed from it, but you can also edit it manually like any burrow. The cleaning and refuse orders would use it to define their boundaries, and since it's a burrow you can order civilians to stay in it.
