Sorry if this was already posted. I made a search but did not find any relevant topic.

A fellow tried to make collapse a trade depot by digging around, but the portion of land separated from the rest at z-level 0 did not collapse because of a pillar at z-level -1.

The bug would be that the pillar is not right under the floor but adjacent to it and a level lower , just like this :

code:

+++++++++    <= z-level 0
+       +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+       +
+++++++++
wwwwwwwww    <= z-level -1
w...|...w    (| is the support))
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.......w
wwwwwwwww

Is this a bug or not ?

Not that any constructed wall acts as a floor above it.  Floors support adjacent constructions.  I see no problem.

I would have thought like you if

code:

had been a wall and not a mere support.

A wall on z-level 0 acts and appears as a floor on z-level +1, and a floor supports an adjacent tile, I agree with you on that.

But I had no idea supports acted like walls (they appear as an "open space" on z-level +1).  If you are positive on this point, then you are right and there is no problem.

If you remove the pillar, does it collapse?

Yes, it does. That's how my fellow got rid of the levitating floor. (He plays version 0.27.169.33g.)

P.S. : I just tried it myself to be sure, using v0.27.176.38a. I confirm. Futhermore, upward stairways (without corresponding downward stairways on top of it) at z level -1 act the same as pillars as of preventing a floor brushing by at z level 0 from collapsing.

Small picture better than long speech :

code:

+++++++++    <= z-level 0
+       +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+ +++++ +
+       +
+++++++++
wwwwwwwww    <= z-level -1
w...<...w    (< is the upward stairway)
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.     .w
w.......w
wwwwwwwww

Removing the upward stairway makes the floor collapse.

Okay, I'll take care of it at some point.
