A door must be built next to a [[wall]] or other form of support*. Doors appear using different [[Tilesets|graphical tiles]] depending on their material. |

The ''placement'' requirement for a door is that it must be positioned cardinally adjacent to a wall ''at the time of placement designation''. That wall does not need to exist when the door is being constructed, nor does that wall need to exist for the door to continue to exist after it has been constructed. Thinking on this, one might discover that doors can be placed side by side in continuous strings, given a little extra effort. | The ''placement'' requirement for a door is that it must be positioned cardinally adjacent to a wall ''at the time of placement designation''.

* Doors are a vital, if somewhat double-edged, component of [[Fortress defense]]. You could build your own shogunate castle by replacing your walls with doors, a tactic which will disorient your enemies with unlimited pathfinding options and provide your Hammerdwarves with excellent ambushing potential. Be warned, though: just as rice-paper walls have trouble keeping grown men at bay, you're going to have some [[fun]] with building destroyers. And thieves. Your haulers won't mind. | * Doors are a vital, if somewhat double-edged, component of [[Fortress defense]].
