Butcher tables make a room unclean.  -15 cleanliness for each butcher table in the room.

Out of interest, what was the item you were trying to have transported?

A few builds ago there was an issue where diseases would cause consciousness to drop to 0 when combined with the consciousness reduction from pain.  Could that be what you encountered?

Deterioration now has a few criteria: Unroofed, in an "outdoors" room type, in shallow/deep/moving water.  Any of those things being true will cause deterioration, having more than one will make it faster.

I did some testing and figured it out - it counts all constructed floor tiles.  The walls of ruins aren't counted until the player claims them but the floors have no claim option so are always considered player-owned.

When you move that slowly, ambush is your best option.

My caravan was getting a bit heavy so I bought two muffalo and an alpaca to help haul.  The game immediately warned me that they were starving.  I assumed it was because they'd only just been added to the caravan and hadn't had time to eat, so I sent the caravan on to the next town.  They were halfway there and I noticed the warning was still active.  I checked their needs and they're clearly not hungry.
