out of curiosity, is this thread intended to reach the mind of Toady so that he considers adding sewage, or simply to discuss the possibility with the community?

He will hear our pleas.

Which would still leave you with mandatory cleaning up of blood, mandatory cleaning up of vomit, mandatory cleaning up of mud, mandatory cleaning up of FB's extracts...

I have standards. Cleaning up the blood and vomit of that useless idiot noble or even after a battle? Fine. Cleaning up leftover mud in my farm? Cool with that too.

But poo? Man, that's just nasty.

Stronghold 2: Gong pits.

If you don't clean up the shit in your castles in SH2, your people get sick. It's much simplified, but its maintenance is essential to civilization, ergo I support dwarven poop.

In stronghold nobody actually squats in a bush and lays down a log. It just magically appears in piles so it might as well be a pile of cinnamon for all anybody knows.

you want things in df to be as simplified and abstracted as it is in stronghold? not that it would make it a bad game, it just wouldnt be dwarf fortress

and i'm aware that stronghold isnt that simplified, but we all agree that it doesnt have the complexity and accuracy of DF

actually, in the sims it wasnt much abstracted, you could see the little buggers sitting on the toilet. it was even a bigger issue that it would be in df, because in df it would never be graphically represented this way

It was abstracted and avoided in the Sims. Also- I don't believe it is the graphic representation that matters. It is the concept itself.

I would love this so much, it really suits my playing style.

I already sort my forts into rich areas and poor slums, and having poo everywhere would really add to the slum effect. I already maintain an underground (my forts are all aboveground cities) pipeline of water that goes through my cities and in some rich houses I put an individual well. This would make even more use for that (of course I wouldn't want to have the two systems connected..)

I'd love to have all my city's sewage drain into the underground goblin POW dungeon.

The lazy dorfs will start looking like they are on dirty protest

We all want to build a sewage system, by combining the underground with some self digged tunnels. Then we want to flush down feces, nobles, prisoners and alligators to live and die in misery and feces. We want it, you know it, even the no sayers want it.

I've already started saving level -1 for water lines and level -2 for sewage lines. Right now sewage is just waste water for systems that don't recirculate or consume it.  BUT I COULD UPGRADE IT HINT HINT :D

Various methods of dwarf poop disposal will be sweet. I'm hoping it goes in after or during whatever update puts in illnesses. I can't wait to have one very sick dwarf to name Crusty as he lays in his hospital bed. His name would be Crusty because I wouldn't make him a bedpan.

I wonder if you could use poop as an Artifact material. I wonder what the artifact's value would be.

Poop could also be used as a fertilizer. Even more enjoyable would be it's use as a weapon or defense system.
