40d:Vomit
Dwarves who have been living underground for several years will often become nauseated when exposed to the sun, meaning that long-standing fortresses will sometimes have little pools of vomit near outdoor refuse piles, stockpiles, and any other structures that dwarves only need to visit occasionally. Note that this illness can even befall dwarves who "enjoy working outdoors." Cave adaptation is the term applied to a dwarf suffering from this symptom.
While throwing up, a dwarf is briefly stunned. This means that if you send cave-adapted soldiers outside to fight during a siege, they may be unable to defend themselves for a brief period.
Creatures also vomit after sustaining injuries to their stomach or other organs.
A puddle of vomit is represented by the same character as water (a double tilde: ≈) but is green rather than blue. Another object on top of a puddle of vomit will appear normally but on a green background. If vomit and blood puddles exist on the same tile, its color will be brown. Walking through vomit will not affect a dwarf's mood.
Vomit will disappear at the beginning of each season.
