This can strand dwarfs, so be careful when removing walls near those ramps. |
In addition, trying to carve a ramp under something that cannot be dug out (such as a [[construction]], [[building]], or [[tree]]) will result in the space being merely mined, leaving the upper floor intact. This may create a [[cave-in|cave in]] situation dangerous to your miners. | In addition, trying to carve a ramp under something that cannot be dug out (such as a [[construction]], [[building]], or [[tree]]) will result in the space being merely mined, leaving the upper floor intact.

Dwarfs cannot ascend or descend (or cross) the ramp as shown because the walkable spaces above the ramp do not connect to the "top" of the ramp, the entrance/exit to the upper part. The ramp could be made usable by constructing walls underneath the floor spaces on either side of the ramp, which changes the direction that the ramp flows. |
