Roofing over these outdoor areas will protect your dwarves from [[weather]] while still preventing cave adaptation. In other words, any tiles that have ''ever'' been exposed to sunlight remain sunlit; actual vertical access to the sun is not necessary. |

Cave adaptation can be treated by exposing dwarves to outdoor tiles. However, due to the negative thoughts brought about by exposure to light in cave-adaptated dwarves, these outdoor areas should be well decorated with [[statue]]s or the like. This should provide enough positive thoughts to negate those caused by cave adaptation. The progress of treating severe cave adaptation can be observed through '''Thoughts and Preferences''', as limited exposure to sunlight will first convert severe cave adaptation into mild cave adaptation; see [[Personality trait#Personality-Trait-Like Characteristics|Personality traits]] for details. | Cave adaptation can be treated by exposing dwarves to outdoor tiles.

A dwarf who is completely adapted to life underground can be cured in a little over nine weeks of constant exposure to outdoors light. | A dwarf who is completely adapted to life underground can be cured in a little over nine weeks of constant exposure to outdoors light. |
