Cave adaptation is caused by dwarves spending too much time underground without sufficient exposure to outdoor sunlight.
Two possible negative Template:Ls can occur as a result of cave adaptation: 'irritated by the sun' and 'nauseated by the sun', the latter being a sign of a more serious cave adaptation often resulting in profuse Template:L. Both degrees can be cured although a simple solution is to remain permanently Template:L.
Prevention
Cave adaptation can be prevented by regular exposure to outdoor sunlight controllable through an outdoor Template:L or having high-traffic areas above ground. You can roof over the above ground area to prevent your dwarves from getting rained on, yet it will still provide enough sunlight to prevent cave adaptation. In other words, exposing your dwarves to areas exposed to sunlight will prevent cave adaptation; it doesn't matter whether that area has been roofed over or not.
Curing
A cure can be found in a similar method to prevention, however, due to the negative thoughts brought about by cave adaptation, these outdoor areas should be well decorated with Template:L, Template:L and the like. This should provide enough positive thoughts to negate those caused by cave adaptation. Progress of curing serious cave adaptation can be observed through Thoughts and Preferences as, curing will first reduce it to mild cave adaptation.
