Is it possible to create underground farmland with mist?

i noticed that the mist made some floortiles muddy when i set up a waterfall.

so my idea was to have some kind of grid of channels above my farm that would create mist,

under the farmland the water would flow off and i would never again be bothered with irrigation.

You only need to irrigate once; floors will stay muddy forever (so long as they're not smoothed floors, which your dorfs will dilligently clean.)

[derriesen]

good to know. i allways thought i would need to irrigate the floor every few seasons...

It's not the mist that's muddying your floors, it's the water that's creating the mist.

Be careful with falling water. Many forts have been destroyed because of it. You have been warned.

Ya, make sure to watch the rooms the water flows through at all times when the system is on... Otherwise you mights look down there some time and go "Hey, why is my farm in 7/7 water? Oh no. Why is the bottom half of my fort in 7/7 water!?!?"

I have some engraved stone near my fountain that NO ONE has ever cleaned.

They probably have been afflicted with LDS (Lazy Dwarf Syndrome).

Leave cleaning enabled onyour broker next time, they'll get it.

Are you sure the stones are muddy and you have someone with cleaning laber enabled?
if in doubt, use k over the stones.

Muddied engravings turn a very striking gold color. It's extremely obvious when they haven't been cleaned.

I've also had this experience. The actual labor of smoothing or engraving un-muddies the tiles, but I've never seen the mud cleaned by a dwarf manually.

There were so many dwarves rushign the barraks in spiraltongs that I had to disable cleaning in every dwarf, lest the soldiers have to spend the entire sparing time prone under the press of dwarves cleaning up blood and mud splatters (had a swimming pool for them to dodge into)

[Skorpion]

Dwarves clean up blood and puke readily, but not mud. It's odd. A fort of mine has had a muddy staircase for a decade thanks to me screwing up the levers on the elf drowner and turning on the pumps before shutting the floodgates.

[sweitx]

In the new version dwarf won't clean up mud.  Since that's where you can place your farm.

[Neruz]

My Dwarves run head over heels to clean up mud on smoothed surfaces. It's annoying, they'll cancel just about any job they have (including 'throw the Ledgendary Orc Warlord into the gladiator pit' and just leaving him there, in the middle of the fort...) that it's actually really annoying sometimes.

Makes the tiles "Light" next time An above ground barracks (but with a roof so it's "inside") will never be cleaned, as blood, vomit and such will disappear with the season change.
