+ | A Floor Hatch is door based on the Z-axis. When you create a stairway between two floors (both an upwards staircase on the lower floor and a downwards staircase on the upper floor) the Floor Hatch, when put on the upper floor staircase, acts like a door. If you lock it, the dwarves will not use that staircase.<br /><br /> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Testing shows that in a nutshell:<br /> | ||
+ | -Two Floor Hatches (one on each staircase going up and down) is ineffective. You only need to put one on top.<br /> | ||
+ | -They work just like doors. Only more Z-axisey<br /> | ||
+ | -The hatch will be flashing <br /><br /> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Floor Hatches could possibly have another use:<br /> | ||
+ | -Trap doors when hooked to pressure plates?<br /> | ||
+ | -For use over pits and ponds?<br /><br /> | ||

+ | More testing is required. |
