Tired of the endless trails of vomit and other contaminants in your outdoor areas?
Want to clean up that battlefield that makes the entrance your fortress look like a big red mess?

Worry no more I have found a solution! it does not include building floors on top of it to make it "inside" or building a road on the area (this are valid but tedious solutions)

First designate a wall to be built (you can suspend before its built, does not matter) and that is it, your Urist will clean a 3x3 around the tile where the wall is designated. Cannot confirm if this works with designating other constructions but you are welcome to test it and let me know! Works with latest version of DF.

A lifesaver, though the obvious problem now is that it can't actually clean built floors like the top of building roofing because they obstruct the wall construction from being placed,ho-hum.

But rained contaminants are known for being used in pretty art.

Which is why i HIGHLY recommend using wall roof-tops as floors instead, as its more efficient and tall-building friendly to start with square foundations of tightly packed walls as they can be built upon freely, letting you make a wide-base into a tall building and is ideal for multi-story.

Indeed! ever since I had an incident where my floor roof collapsed due to my experiments of player-made earthquakes I have used walls for roofing. And side note this solves the projectile and body parts sinking through a Z-level if the battle happens above. Make your fort 2 Z-levels deep or roof with walls to avoid dwarves being freaked out about random gobo head in the dining room.

EDIT: wait no, my tired brain.

Yeah that's pretty cool, its great honestly. I've built 5 story megacastles using wall-floors before as its all about the planning regarding giving yourself enough space to lay the wall-floor foundations so you can keep building.

A tavern on the first floor directly above the foundations looking out at the grassy animal pen, then a barracks, a office block, some ramparts for a generic roof to feel castly and seal the office up, with a pure gold gleaming monarch residence at the very top being my cheif proudest building built using the masterwork mod. Looks great in fortress mode but doesn't convert over to stonesense because of the modded materials.
