Too close to edge

I tried to damp the brook (see project at my page) and got strange warning when tried to place a wall closer than 6 squares from map edge - Too close to edge. The Fortifications show the same warning, while other constructions - floors, stairs, ramps can be easily built.

Also, some of buildings/furniture refuse to be placed near the edge:
Beds, chairs, tables, coffins cannot be placed anywhere outside. When closer than 6 squares to map edge it shows "too close" warning, elsewhere it shows "must be inside"
Armor stands, doors, floodgates, floor hatches, floor or wall grates, floor or bertical bars, cabinets, containers, trap components, supports, restraints, cages, archery targets, machine conponents - cannot be placed at outside squares closer than 6 squares to map edge - shows "too close" warning. Inside squares are ok anywhere.
Bridges can be placed anywhere (what about raising bridge, that transforms into a wall? experiments needed!). Roads behave the same.
Workshops, furnaces, kennels, farm plots should be at least 6 squares away from edge. Trade depot - even 10 squares!
Statues, windows, well, siedge engines weren't tested. --Peregarrett 07:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

That's all as expected from previous versions. Btw, are you damming or damping your brook? ;) --Birthright 14:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Damn that brook! Always meddling, always interfering! I'll get you next time... NEXT TIME! --Zombiejustice 16:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Damming of course. =) But damning also.
But that feature with constructions was a bit discouraging, and the agorithm is kind of confusing here. I think it should be added somewhere to wiki page--Peregarrett 06:49, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Deconstructing floors onto a dwarf's head

If I deconstruct a floor, it drops the stone/block onto the space below. If that space is occupied by a dwarf, will it injure them? I'm trying to devise a safe way to build large buildings without trapping dwarves or injuring them etc and this is an issue that keeps nagging me. If it's possible to squash dwarves with deconstructed floor tiles, how do I safely deconstruct them? ie. keep dorfs out from undearneath while I'm deconstructing?--208.81.12.34 19:29, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Seems that falling stone injures no one. I had a shaft 10 floors deep designed as garbage dump and quite traffic at landing zone. No dwarves were hurt. Stone does damage only from stone traps or catapults. Peregarrett 10:24, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
