So I was doing my rounds of smoothing every surface in my fort because I'm obsessive compulsive and forgot I had muddied rock instead of sand/loam for my farming area. I smoothed my farms!!! Now they're not muddy and I don't have time to muddy them again, people are starving.

On another note I wasn't ready for an ambush that came and I sealed my fort off. This didn't stop 20 migrants and a legendary beast from coming though. There are pieces everywhere, it was glorious.

Sounds like fun.

Even if you muddied them again, your dwarves would clean up the mud again.

It's winter, also. My water source is frozen.

If it is the case that they will clean the mud because it's on a smoothed floor you can build something on the floor to make it non-smoothed. The kennels is a nice 5x5. Then you can remuddy it.

Just removing my non functioning farms seemed to work. They're just unmuddied cavern floors now. Just gotta wait 2 months for the brook to thaw teehee.

edit: sorry everyone fun averted. I forgot about a reserve stockpile of water I had tucked away and drained that onto my farms. Something must have died in it though because my farms are covered in dog blood now.

Nothing wrong with a bit of dog blood: it'll put chest on your hair!

Workshops and other buildings only remove mud and other contaminants. If you want to roughen the floor, you need to build and remove a paved road or construct+deconstruct floor tiles (or walls, stairs, ramps, fortifications, etc.) in the desired area, since those will actually reset the terrain underneath them to the default layer material (e.g. if you do it in a lignite vein going through chalk, it'll turn it into a chalk floor) both when they are built and periodically (easy to see with roads - just hide the building materials and watch the floor tiles randomly change between their usual ,.'` characters).
