Err, the game is billed as ALPHA; and actually that's pretty conservative, considering how stable it really is and how many working features are in it.  I've paid for dozens of commercial "final" games that were way behind this one.  So some stuff doesn't work, if it really bugs you, stop playing and come back when it's in late beta or final release state.

Well, there's the caveat that it will probably be very bugged, beware.

I can't get gardwarves to work right either, very frustrating.

one thousand water wheels!

This seems like a good compromise with the sprawl stuff, and I'm pleased there are options to control how pervasive it's allowed to be.  Thanks for the update

If I understand you correctly, if you mean stuff like vermin corpses, those will rot away wherever they are, inside or outside.  I don't *think* that temperature or other conditions impact that, I think the speed they rot is the same in all conditions.

The simple way to drive up the value of a room is just to smooth the walls and maybe engrave them too - both are done with the Engraving labor.  Just (d)esignate -> (s)mooth and your engravers (assuming you have any) will go smooth the stone, and the same for engraving after the stone has been smoothed.
