<p>Kelpo: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''ramp''' is a map feature that allows dwarves and caravans to move between levels. Unlike a [[stair]] ramps have no 'top', they only have a bottom. The tile above a ramp must be clear for it to operate. Ramps are less useful in construction than stairs because they do not provide access to adjacent tiles on the floor above them. Ramps are the only way that [[wagon]]s can move between levels in order to access your [[trade depot]].<br /> <br /> == Construction and Materials - ==<br /> <br /> There are two ways for your dwarves to construct ramps. The first is to carve them into the earth itself (see [[digging]]), using the ground below or walls of stone, dirt, and ice as a building material. The second is to build a ramp out of materials such as [[stone]], [[wood]] or [[block]]s or [[bar]]s.<br /> * Digging ramps upwards is useless unless the tile directly above is empty and there access to the side.<br /> ** If you are digging upwards through rock, like a cliff, you may want to use a [[stair]] instead.<br /> ** Ramps are easy to work with when digging downwards through a cliff.<br /> * Digging a ramp uses the material and colour of the designated tile.<br /> * Constructing a ramp uses the colour of the material used.<br /> <br /> == Collapse ==<br /> <br /> Be sure to avoid mining out all of the floor tiles surrounding a ramp or staircase above and below it. If you do this, not only will the structures themselves be useless, they'll collapse, both of which can leave your dwarves trapped.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Removing Natural Ramps ==<br /> <br /> Natural ramps can be mined out via the designation menu using the Remove Up Stairs/Ramps selection ({{k|d}} -&gt; {{k|z}}, using the ingame interface). Like the selection says, only upwards ramps can be removed in such a manner. Selecting a downwards ramp in such a manner has no effect. Removing the upward ramp will automatically remove the downward ramp on the level above. The downward part of a ramp doesn't really exist, a creature standing on a ramp tile will be on the lower tile until they move out of the tile. <br /> <br /> {{Buildings}}<br /> [[Category:Constructions]]<br /> [[Category:Designations]]<br /> [[Category:Map tiles]]</div>

<p>Kelpo: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''bed''' is a simple sleeping pallet to built on the floor. Dwarves gain unhappy thoughts from sleeping without a bed, so building beds is often a necessity for a happy fortress. Unlike many other pieces of furniture, beds can only be created from [[wood]]; each bed requires a single piece.<br /> <br /> When settling treeless areas, it is ideal to bring along several logs during the [[Prepare for the Journey]] screen in order to make beds and [[bucket]]s.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Furniture]]<br /> <br /> Beds are the base object used to create [[bedroom]]s and [[barracks]]. Toady has stated that beds which are not in any defined room are considered hospital beds, and dwarves will recover faster when sleeping on them.<br /> <br /> Beds can only be placed indoors. If building a bedroom on the surface, the room must have a roof before beds can be placed inside.</div>
