The Doormat. The absolutely most important thing.
« on: November 03, 2007, 03:10:00 am »
My dwarves are tracking mud all over. I require Doormats to properly keep them from mucking up my very clean and smooth limestone floors.

Perhaps it can be made from animal hide. Or bone. Or rock. Something?

Make a tiny bridge over a pit. It'll stop the mud.


Edit: Er, as long as you have everyone go over it, I should mention. <.<

workarounds do not beat out actual features.

Apparently work arounds do not actually work, either.

Grates? failure  :(

Forget doormats, we already have soap, we just need them to be able to use it.

A suitable fix would be to actually have the "cleaning" job activate more often than once in a blue moon.

You can pretend that the bridge-over-channel is a welcome mat.  Right now I'm improving the quality of a loam room by pretending that the high quality wooden bridge in the middle of the room is actually a rug.      :D
