:I really hate this one, I can just imagine all sorts of [[fun]] from pesky ramps leading into water and or magma because we can no longer channel them away. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 06:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

::Channels create ramps along the outside of the pit being built. This isn't that big a deal; you can floor over the ramps, go down into them and clear them, etc. - I like it this way, because a one-tile ditch can't stop all the rampaging goblins from eating your face.

:::If you're making a channel to stop rampaging goblins from eating your face, you now have to channel, remove ramps, and leave an exit that's not on the outside.  Since presumably you're making a moat *before* the goblins arrive, the change to channeling just causes moat-making to be more micro-management intensive, not less effective, and this game hardly needed more micro-management.

:::The truly annoying part is that there are plenty of instances where you would channel before that you cannot get at the ramp to remove it, such as breaching magma or water layers.  Its unsightly.

:I find this quite useful because now miners can't trap themself that easily when channeling out large areas. Now it takes a lot less micro management to create large multi-story underground chambers. --[[Special:Contributions/84.46.91.253|84.46.91.253]] 17:56, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
