Changes from 40d?

Looks like everything in the 40d article will need to be verified before being written up for 2010, particularly the farming bits. Minus 03:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Issues with roofing

I'm trying to create a roof using flooring for a tower, and I keep getting a message saying I can't build there because there's no access to building material al economic item. and yes, there are stairs already. --72.189.226.68 20:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

-Try a ramp it seems that at least the up/down stairway doesn't count as a path. September 18 2010

I realise this was ages ago, but as a side note - its because stairs are a slope, which takes up the whole tile, where as ramps are a slope which can be thought to end at the edge of the tile - the difference? you can stand on the top of a slope and not fall down. Stand on a staircase with nothing at the top and your likely fall off :) --Djsmiley2k 17:08, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Newbie questions about floors

I'm a little confused, and want to clarify - and can't find it on the wiki currently, though that might just mean my wiki-fu is weak. I checked z-levels, floor, and map tiles without finding my answer. When you cut out a tile, say limestone, by Designating it to be mined, it creates a floor after that rock wall is removed. Is that floor actually the tile below or is it the same thing as whatever you just mined? Can you get more gems or metals by also mining up the floors? Can you build on consecutive z-levels if you want to, or will knocking down the rock walls on level 150 take away the floors from level 151? Thanks in advance, and anyone who adds this to the wiki somewhere (or just a redirect if it already exists) will have my eternal gratitude. 68.169.186.163 06:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
