Zombification in particular. This "demon wind" is a pain.

[Broseph Stalin]

It sounds like you're talking about a mist so you need a closed structure with walls and a roof.

[Tharwen]

Actually, just walls will do. The mists never rise above 2 or 3 z-levels, at least in my experience.

Not completely correct. It depends on the type. Also, if the mist was of the creep-only type, the walls would have to be at least 2 z-levels high. For complete protection, you need to seal your fort off with a roof. If it's rain you're worried about, it's completely necessary.

I remember people complaining about it rolling over their walls when DFVD was released, I've never personally let my roof open in an evil biome.

[Talvieno]

I have. Bad idea.

[ChairmanPoo]

It's very problematic, but I must say I love the "trapped" feeling.

[Loud Whispers]

I love the "trapped" feel

"Fortified."

Glass roof for your above ground farms.

[Putnam]

Glass roof for your above ground farms.

You don't even need that; if a tile has been exposed to above-ground EVER, you can grow on it, even if it's covered up with obsidian roofing.

Yeah, I always do glass roofs anyway though, because it feels like pretty blatant cheating otherwise.

[Anathema]

I've seen the mist roll up to a 15ish z-level volcano, it went up the side all the way to the peak, straight down to the surface of the magma, and straight up to the peak on the other side.. it completely ignored changes in z-level altogether and rolled right over them like they weren't there. So yeah, I'd say you need roofs.

[Garath]

It's an evil biome and finally it got made really evil, so the "trapped" feeling is fine. Dwarfs cowering at the thought of opening the door for migrants (who knows what might come in) etc... I think it works as intended.
