Dwarf Cleaning Workshop, Bathouse, Scrubhouse etc.
« on: December 15, 2012, 02:41:08 am »
Is there anyway we can get a dedicated cleaner who will always clean, who if you stock with soap will clean up contaminants on a daily basis?

If Bathhouse sounds a bit elfish, scrub house, sanitizer, cleaner or janitor etc. They will hunt down contaminants wherever they may be and rid the fort of them mercilessly :). They do this as a trade so get happiness from keeping the fort muddy, dirty but disease free, just like it was meant to be.

It always seems to be the one thing missing in my forts.

Dwarves already clean, just not much or predictably.

Which is the point. :) I don't care about muddy or even bloody dwarves.

I've lost too many forts to contamination problems. One dwarf who seeks out contaminants that are dangerous and that is his entire role, his labor and his craft would be an extremely welcome addition. Otherwise incredibly complicated structures are needed and unreliable anyway, in what should be a common chore.

Sure he can die, or become infected himself, that is a risk but at least someone is taking care of it in the fort. The higher the skill the better he becomes at eliminating dangerous contaminants.

While industrious and not caring half as much as we do about being clean, dying and things getting in the way of industry, is a whole other matter for a dwarf.

As well as the aforementioned practical side, I think a bathhouse and/or designated "bathing zone" wouldn't be out of place when we start getting religious rituals. Dwarves cleaning themselves up at the well lacks a certain something.

Pretty sure the general rule is, not unless you have something noteworthy to add, so as pages don't get necro'd for the purpose of "Seconded" or somesuch.

And everyone knows, when the Dwarves come out of the walls, it's all over.
