This article is about an older version of DF.

Tiles are the squares that form a map. A tile consists of two sections—a wall section and a floor section, shown in cross-section like this:

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor Section

When digging and building this is important, since some designations and constructions will only be done in wall tiles and some others will only be done in floor tiles.

Stairs[edit]

Building a stairway consists of two elements: an up stair and a down stair, each element is built only in the matching tile section, across two z-levels, like this:

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                                  -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                                   |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section                   |--> Open Space
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                                   |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                                   |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                                  -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor          ▓      ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                   ▒▒▒            -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                     ▒▒▒           |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section       ▒▒▒         |--> Up Stair
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                         ▒▒▒       |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                           ▒▒▒     |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                             ▒▒▒  -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor          ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor

An up-down stair or building both up and down stairs in the same tile, works like this:

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                   ▒▒▒            -|               -|

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section       ▒▒▒         |--> Up Stair    | Up/Down
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                         ▒▒▒       |                |  Stair
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                           ▒▒▒     |                |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                             ▒▒▒  -|                |
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor          ▓      ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair -|

Walls[edit]

Both natural occurring and constructed walls span across two z-levels, the bottom wall section and floor and the top floor section:

               -|
                |
                |--> Open Space Wall
                |
                |
               -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor       -|                     
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                 |                     
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                 |                     
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |--> Wall Section |--> <material> Wall  
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                 |                     
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒  |                 |                     
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|                 |                     
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor       -|                     

Supports and Fortifications[edit]

Unlike walls supports span only one z-level, allow liquids and movement, and don't create a floor on top. Constructed fortifications are basically the same but block movement as well. Note, however, that fully submerged (depth of 7/7) fortifications no longer block creature movement.

Statues[edit]

Statues block normal movement, but not unintended movement (dodging, being thrown, swept by current, etc.). Statues do not block fluids.
