Cave adaptation has set in, and, alas the front of my fortress looks like a green sea.

They'll clean it up if it's inside, but they don't care about outside. Wait for a seasonal shift and it'll go away on its own.

Cover it with blood. It makes the elves feel at home.

Nope, unfortunately cave adaptation is permanent

MyLittlePonyBuiltMyHotRod, this is your first warning. I would like to direct you to read our forum's FAQ and posting guidelines before posting again. Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate.

I've had Dwarves De-Adapt. It takes ages though, but they get slowly less nauseated by the sun. Build a shaft of light into your dining room, and although you'll get barfing quite often, after they're exposed to it now and again at mealtimes, they'll soon stop being cavedwellers.

You know, people keep saying that cave adaptation is irreversible, but I've never had a case where I wasn't able to get rid of it.  I just have to station the dwarf outside for two or three seasons.

Since I'm afraid to let my champions spar (superstats + admantium/steel artifact weapons), this isn't a problem for me.

Maybe I have a magical special version of the game, but I doubt it.
