If I build my blood-prone areas from constructed soap, will they stay clean?

Don't think so.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.

But cleaning it sure would be easier.  Just Add Water*! ;)

Hmm, I found bones to be ONLY useful for making bolts. They're the only ammunition I've ever given my marksdwarves, and they've taken out plenty of gobbos and other baddies. Well, maybe not taken out, but incapacitated (fatally) which is good enough for me!

Though I must admit, I've only used a real marksdwarf squad once, in my current session. And I've only had two sieges...

Sounds like you might want to give them some metal bolts to meet the increasing threat. Or just capture whole sieges in cage traps, release them on a 1-tile platform above a 10 z-level drop, and let an untrained recruit shoot bone bolts at them.

Soapmakers do something useful- soap prevents infections, after all. Punish the fish dissectors. Lyemakers are safe too, need lye for soap.

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

They're incredibly expendable, with lye and soap lacking quality levels, and considering the amount of soap a fortress needs at any given time, production speed is pretty irrelevant.
Didn't soap have quality levels back in 40d, though? I remember it being a nice way to get value out of dragon fat and such.

No quality levels on soap, ever.  It's the material multiplier that made dragon soap better than kitten soap.  Or dragon tallow biscuits, back when tallow stayed in stacks.

Also, obviously, magma avalanches and tsunamis weren't exactly a contingency covered in the mission briefing.

I can assure you that Ardentdikes is not the first fortress to be flooded with magma. What's unusual is that we actually meant to flood it with magma.
