This article is about an older version of DF.

A cloud of purple stench that makes your dwarves unhappy, only occurs subterrean. Caused by rotting items such as untanned hides, chunks and dead vermin. Does not pass through dwarves. To avoid either keep anything rotten outside or alternatively having an inside refuse pile on its own in a room with several doors should halt its advance (although the room itself will still stink up). It will also not spread diagonally so one possible solution is to have the only entrance be diagonal. This is better than the many doors solution in that if miasma passes through a open door it will keep the door open.[Verify]

Another option is to have a long garbage chute where refuse is dumped down, if it is long enough the miasma will not be able to reach all the way to the top, preventing your dwarves from getting unhappy thoughts.
