		+
		+	==Terraforming for dummies==
		+	*Df is three dimensional.
		+	*you only view two dimensions at a time, looking at the world from above straight down like a map.
		+	*Unlike a map You only see one height layer at a time. So a valley would be two strips on the sides with nothing in the middle. A mountain would be a blotch in the middle, with empty space on the sides.
		+	*north/south and west/east are the Y- and X-axes, respectively. Height is the Z-axis.
		+	*Df is tile/grid based: The axes are separated into units with equal sides ( a cube[1]), the smallest unit is called a tile (=one graphic symbol you see on the screen). Every tile is made of a floor and a wall. The 'roof' of a tile is the floor of the tile above.
		+	Both the floor and the wall can be missing. A tile with a wall and a floor is impassable. A tile with a floor and without a wall is as you'd expect passable by creatures. A tile without a wall and a floor is completely empty. TOADD: What about tiles with floor but without wall? How does that work (all possible cases? add links to additional info)
		+
		+	to traverse z-levels, that is to ascent or descent you need either ramps or stairs (unless you fall/jump/climb of course).
		+
		+	[1]even if some [[Graphics\|tilesets]], including the default, display X and Y with different dimensions
		+	===stairs===
		+	info box quickstart guide. up=wall, down=floor, up/down=wall/floor, not "wall/roof".
		+
		+	===ramps===
		+	Contrary to stairs, there is no such thing as up- or down-ramps, only ''ramps''. "Down-ramps" simply refer to a ramp on the level below.
		+	Not unlike surface tension in water droplets, ramps automatically align themselves with adjacent walls. If there's a lonely ramp in the middle of flat terrain, it's practically useless like a bump in the road.
		+	With a wall on any orthogonal (non-diagonal){{verify}}(wasn't there a mention of this on the ramp page?) adjacent tile, the ramp forms a 45° slope with it and can be used to move to the level above.
		+	You can't just add another ramp on the same XY-coordinates directly above that one - you need to move it one tile to the north/south/west/east, so that it's on top of the wall that was below.
		+
		+	===list of designations===
		+	see [[mining]] page
		+
		+
		+	===Construction vs designation===
		+	Another important distinction is the difference between construction and designation.
		+	In simple terms, a terraforming designation (you can also designate other things like zones or trees to be cut down) takes ''away'' from terrain and in some cases ''produces'' raw material. A construction ''adds'' to the terrain, and ''uses'' raw material.
		+	Note that you can carve out part of a tile (to create a stair for example) first, and afterwards tell your dwarves to carve out the rest of the tile.
		+	Be careful: If you first tell them to make a stair, then afterwards tell them to mine out that very tile, '''the stair will be removed'''. You would need to construct a new stair afterwards.
		+	===more terminology===
		+	'Building' something can often mean two things: creating it - and placing it.
		+	For example, to create a dining room, you first ask your mason to build (create) a table from a raw stone. Then you need to tell your dwarves to [[k\|b]]uild (insert actual key sequence) (place) it somewhere in your fort.
		+
		+
		+
		+	===troubleshooting===
		+	*miners don't move, dwarves are hungry. nobody does their jobs: they can't reach what they want to reach because you fucked up terraforming
		+	--channeled straight down, ramps above each other
		+	--created only up or only down stairs, need up and down
		+	--created up/down correctly, but designated tile to be mined out afterwards, stair gone. (can fix it by constructing one)
