Perhaps these explanations of how the various mining commands work should go under a Mining article. "Design strategies" seems like it would be more about layouts for kitchens and pump systems and whatnot. --[[User:BahamutZERO|BahamutZERO]] 19:43, 30 October 2007 (EDT) | Perhaps these explanations of how the various mining commands work should go under a Mining article.

: I have inadvetently written an article on [[Digging]] which complements the work on this page. I suggest they be reviewed and relevant parts merged. This page will have a use in future for players to post their designs. I agree with '''BahamutZERO''' that this isn't the place to talk about Mining. --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 22:41, 31 October 2007 (EDT) | : I have inadvetently written an article on [[Digging]] which complements the work on this page.

Why are the inputs placed so far off the hallway in the "Wio" design? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a 'ladder' layout where each rail was a hallway and each rung was "iWo", so that haulers had easy access to both piles? Or better yet, a hallway with input stockpiles below the workshops, and another with output stockpiles above the workshops? I think the layout presented is pretty inefficient given the new 3rd axis. | Why are the inputs placed so far off the hallway in the "Wio" design?

I strongly agree, workshop layout needs it's own page first of all, and second of all it needs to be expanded more, with the z layout there is a large difference on working out the workshop layout, I'm sure it will eventually get edited in, if you feel like it, you can edit it in yourself as well. | I strongly agree, workshop layout needs it's own page first of all, and second of all it needs to be expanded more, with the z layout there is a large difference on working out the workshop layout, I'm sure it will eventually get edited in, if you feel like it, you can edit it in yourself as well. | ||

If you edit a section of the page, it totally screws up the formatting of the entire page. I think it might have to do with the code and pre tags.

:I get the "Cannot reach the work site" cancel message a lot with my current fortress. It seems to happen when there is too much loose stone on the work site; kind of the workshop equivalent of "item blocking site" cancel messages. I wait for haulers to clear it or just designate it all for dumping. Once there's no more stone they'll build workshops just fine even with only diagonal access.

I noticed that the instructions as listed say to replace the channeled area with flooring, that may be a missunderstanding there. This is in response to the person talking about things being inside anyway. I will try to give it a try soon and see what I get. Anyway, on to my actual comment. The posting mentions that telling dwarves to stay inside forbids them from using the stairs, a possible way arround this is to make sure that the exit has a door of some sort (since it is suggested to build a wall at the top level anyway) and then when you tell all dwarves to stay inside, lock the door, then tell them they can go outside again.

This page makes heavy use of the ParserFunctions extension and it's simply not rendering if I activate that extension. I'm not familiar with the syntax used for all that but my guess is that it's way too big. I suggest the people who originally made it try to split in either different blocks of code or on different pages. | This page makes heavy use of the ParserFunctions extension and it's simply not rendering if I activate that extension.
