v0.31 Talk:Hatch cover
Building destroyers
Hatch covers seem to no longer stop building destroyers attacking from below. I just had a locked hatch cover destroyed by a Titan from the bottom of the stairway one Z-level down.
What about attacks from above? 98.181.12.207
- It seems the above observation was posted in August of 2010. Is anyone able to confirm whether this can happen in version 0.31.25 or later? Last I heard locked hatches were still immune to building destroyers from below. If they're not, then a lot of folks are wrong and designing defenses against building destroyers just became a lot more challenging... --Thundercraft 20:10, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Deconstructing hatch covers
When you remove a hatch cover, the dwarves seem not to check if some other dwarves is standing on top. I just had a dwarf dying in my to-be-created well because of this. Should this be mentioned on the article page, or is this rather obvious come to think of it? Qwertyu 13:46, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Spring flood
I noticed that spring flood (when ice (espetially newly formed, or transported) melts) seem to simply wash away or destroy your hatch.
Can't lock them?
I had a workshop on the same level as a downstair with a hatch cover. I locked the hatch cover to keep the dwarf failing at an artifact safely inside. But when he went insane he just walked straight through and started murdering everyone. How do I actually stop people from going through those hatches? Rkyeun 10:58, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
