v0.31:Hatch cover
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Hatch covers act like Template:Ls, but between Z-levels instead of X/Y passageways. They can be placed over stairs or open space, as long as they are supported by an adjacent floor tile.
Like doors, they can be linked with mechanisms, locked, and kept tightly closed to keep out water, pets and foes alike. However a hatch with a linked mechanism won't open if the space above is full of water. They can be set as internal, but as Template:Ls cannot occupy multiple Z-levels, this has no effect at this time.
When closed, hatches appear as a ¢ and are not visible when open. Their colour will vary depending on the material it has been made from.
They can be constructed from a Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L from Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L respectively. Once built, they may be placed with H.
A dwarf falling down stairs will be stopped by a closed floor hatch.
