-A Floor Hatch is [[door]] based on the Z-axis. When you create a stairway between two floors (both an upwards staircase on the lower floor and a downwards staircase on the upper floor) the Floor Hatch, when put on the upper floor staircase, acts like a door. If you lock it, the dwarves will not use that staircase. A closed floor hatch will block the passage of fluids onto the lower floor, and will stop falling creatures. They can also be used on ramps.
-== Uses ==
-Floor Hatches could possibly have another use:
-*Trap doors when hooked to pressure plates?
-*For use over pits and ponds?
-*Preventing water and magma from flowing down stairs or ramps - useful for aquifer levels
-== Testing ==
-Testing shows that in a nutshell:
-*Two Floor Hatches (one on each staircase going up and down) is ineffective. You only need to put one on top.
-*They work just like doors. Only more Z-axisey.
-*The hatch will be flashing
-*A dwarf falling down a multiple floor stairway will be stopped by a closed floor hatch.
-More testing is required.
