Due to a quirk in dwarven [[physics]], the sky can be used to provide limited support to your fortress. Specifically, a solid vertical column that reaches the top of the sky level will not collapse, but it will also no longer support neighboring tiles horizontally. In order to retain vertical support, passable areas are carved with up/down stairways. [[Obsidian]] casting is necessary to allow these stairways to be added on top of existing [[building]]s (like [[furniture]] and [[workshop]]s). Unsupported glass [[window]]s can be used to plug any holes, such as those required below magma workshops. |
