Will building a glass roof over the entire embark land area block evil rain?

I'm getting tired of malodorous filth raining and collecting into pools.

A megaproject seems like the way to solve it.

yeah. unless I'm mistaken, rain appears at the top z-level and falls like you would expect.

 though, the wiki has no further detail, so now I'm curious myself.

At least snow does this, so I'd assume the same is with other types of rain.

Yeah, any floor will block the falling of the muck, then as time goes on, dwarfs will clean up the muck remaining below the roof.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.
