It is curable by simply making them stay outside, but if they are already unhappy  it's probably a bad idea to try.  Why cure it though, if they got it that bad in first place they probably don't need to go outside to be productive. 

Unless you have your soldiers training outside, that sentiment will last until the first time you need soldiers. "Oh noes, my soldiers are vomitting and getting killed rather than deflecting and dodging!"

Has anyone confirmed whether it is caused by inside / outside or if it is caused by light / dark?

EDIT: According to the discussion page on the wiki, cave adaptation is caused by not entering light squares, so you can prevent this from occuring by making a greenhouse with a glass roof.

Nope, I used it fine before uninstalling it.

Yup, I have this problem as well. Changing agility in DC alters strength, changing toughness affects agility. Toughness cant be changed and if you try to put numbers in the strength field it crashes (for me it did anyway).

try temp fix for 39e:
in creature.py(158), change to following

Code: [Select]

strength = LongAt(0x424+0x14)
agility = LongAt(0x428+0x14)
toughness = LongAt(0x42c+0x14)
needs to be verified though.

Feudalism just implies that nobles actually own the land and allow the peasants to tend to it in return for providing them with goods or services, like a share of their crops, and it otherwise works like a capitalistic economy.  The peasants are renting the land with their work, in a sense, but are still participating in the economy with anything they do outside of their determined dues.

If you don't build containers, they'll actually get rather upset.

I think a problem with the economy, aside from the lack of supply and demand, is the inability to have anything other than a command economy. Command economies, of course, are horribly inefficient and require lots of micromanagement to even function. What would be nice, in both a 'this is how it actually works' and 'wow I don't have to micromanage anymore', is if your dwarves could form private enterprises and start doing things autonomously in order to earn the best profit. Like woodcutters would cut wood on their own and try to sell it at a vacant stall, and then craftsdwarves would come and buy it, carve it, and then try to peddle it. Then your traders would come, buy up all the cheap merchandise, and proceed to peddle with the merchants (or once the caravan arc is underway, taking it themselves to foreign lands and trade it for cheap goods there, bringing it back to your fort to sell at high prices). Your miners could be contracted by the upper class to dig grand mansions in an area you designate as 'private land'. And then you can tax them all and use that money to buy private armies, or something. I dunno.
