"The number at the bottom is the total elevation of the current level."

Source: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/v0.31:Z-axis#ixzz0lwAQqZPB

The phrase "total elevation" seems meaningless here - at least in v0.31, this number can also go negative, so it's not the absolute elevation. What's the reference point? Is it sea level?

  • 100 is sea level, 400 is the highest possible mountain top, and 0 is the lowest depth of the ocean.
