Rain and roof
« on: January 12, 2015, 02:08:38 am »

Hi all!

Will dwarves get unhappy thoughts about "caught in rain / snow storm" if I build a roof over places where they walk above ground?

Thanks in advance.

I'd guess that any negative thoughts about weather would be in response to being coated in rain/snow, so if they're not being coated in anything, it should take the thoughts away.

building a glass roof is best btw. because that also removes the cave sickness.
Try building a glass roof down to your meeting area.

Material of the roof is actually irrelevant.

Wiki says that it means "Went outside while it was raining, snowing, or in evil weather", so I think that's not matters. Am I wrong?

No, that's a different tought, caused by the evil weather. Being caught in regular rain is annoying too. You can build a roof over the area they walk, but they will still get cave adaption independent of the material. If it's a roofed off area it doesn't develops cave adaption further, but won't cure it either. Don't worry, being caught in the rain is a natural thing and some dwarves will shrug it off like nothing.
