I am in my digging designation menu and I don't see an option to dig a ramp down? If I want to do that do I need to use stairs to get down, then construct ramps up? Then replace the stairs with ramps? --[[User:Ehertlein|Ehertlein]] 12:21, 29 August 2008 (EDT) | I am in my digging designation menu and I don't see an option to dig a ramp down?

If not, can we please keep the "short version" as simple as possible? | + | I took it back out because I have no idea what it was supposed to mean.

::Agreed that the examples and illustrations aren't clear. The "short version" should be the "main version".

Also, possibly, 4. Natural/carved ramps are "slopes" implying constructed ramps are true "ramps". DF calls them all slopes when you use {{k|k}}. I feel the terms are interchangeable, but ''ramp'' is preferable because it's the word used in the in the menus when your dwarves actually make them by both digging '''and''' constructing.
