Perhaps this page should be merged with and redirect to a general contaminants page? - Mzbundifund 23:52, 21 November 2007 (CST)

I agree--vomit isn't big enough to have its own page. Midna 13:44, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Mood penalty?[edit]

Is there any sort of mood penalty associated with vomit? I can't imagine dwarves like trodding through the stuff...

Nope they're quite content to wade through the stuff.--Richards 20:48, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

From what I read on thought page vomit can only help after it's created. Dwarves can drink vomit, though it obviously makes them unhappy. I wish DF had true fluid mechanics, not only water and magma. Vomit pump would be incredibly awesome. --Someone-else 21:30, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
"Help"? If I understand Thought correctly "was forced to drink vomit lately" is a negative thought. However, I'm not sure it's actually possible (at least in the current version). Kirig Stonebeard 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

It would work if vomit were made a fluid as Someone-else suggested, but AFAIK there's no reason to think Toady plans to institute this. It would be... interesting, though. I'll sign the petition if it includes blood! Kirig Stonebeard 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

Cleaning?[edit]

Will dwarves with the Cleaning job clear up puddles of vomit, or does it just go away over time?

I'm pretty sure they don't. They certainly don't clean it off of themselves either! Eventually most of my fortress seems to end up vomit-covered, especially babies. Actually babies end up worse as their parents tend to drop them in the mud whilst vomiting and if there's been a siege recently and the reason for everyone coming out is because of the lootables on the floor there tends to be a healthy amount of blood too, just in case vomit and mud stains weren't enough. --Krythorne

Cleaning indicates that vomit will be cleaned, but only if it's inside (it's left to disappear at the end of the season if it's outdoors). That could use verifying though. Kirig Stonebeard 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

Escaping cave adaptation[edit]

Once it has set in, is there any way to cure cave adaptation? Because I have dwarves building up a large tower, and they keep vomiting. It's annoying, and it's not good for the mental state of the fort. --Cypress 17:45, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

See Cave adaptation for info on getting it, curing it, and preventing it. Kirig Stonebeard 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

Any effect?[edit]

It would seem vomit doesn't have negative thought penalties, but does it have ANY negative effects (or positive, for that matter)? There's a "was forced to drink vomit lately" negative thought built into the game as mentioned above, but AFAIK it's not actually possible to drink the stuff. Are there any negatives that are instituted? If not it makes the Cleaning labor seem like kind of a waste to me (except for aesthetic purposes). Kirig Stonebeard 08:54, 26 February 2009 (EST)

Pumping ?[edit]

If you were to say.. .harvest this, create a small sunlight room full of vomit.. .could it be pumped? --Loganis 04:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

No. At this time, vomit is a covering, not an actual liquid. Sickness 19:35, 06 August 2009 (AEST)
