Hey guys!
Another noob problem here ...
I am encountering a ramp problem:
I have the following arrangement:
Layer #0:
L01 OOOOOOOOO
L02 OOOVVVOOO
L03 OOO...OOO
L04 OOO...OOO
L05 OOO...OOO
L06 OOOOOOOOO
and so on
Layer #-1:
L01 XXXXXXXXX
L02 XXX^^^XXX
L03 XXX,,,XXX
L04 XXX,,,XXX
L05 XXX,,,XXX
L06 XXX+++XXX
L07 XXX+++XXX
L08 XXX+++XXX
L09 XXX,,,XXX
L10 XXX,,,XXX
L11 XXX,,,XXX
L12 XXX,,,XXX
L13 XXX,,,XXX
L14 XXX,,,XXX
L15 XXXVVVXXX
L16 XXXXXXXXX
L17 XXXXXXXXX
L18 XXXXXXXXX
L19 XXXXXXXXX
L20 XXXXXXXXX
Layer #-2:
L01 XXXXXXXXX
L02 XXXXXXXXX
L03 XXXXXXXXX
L04 XXXXXXXXX
L05 XXXXXXXXX
L06 XXX^^^XXX
L07 XXX,,,XXX
L08 XXX,,,XXX
L09 XXX,,,XXX
L10 XXX,,,XXX
L11 XXX,,,XXX
L12 XXX,,,XXX
L13 XXX,,,XXX
L14 XXX,,,XXX
L15 XXX^^^XXX
L16 XXX,,,XXX
L17 XXX,,,XXX
L18 XXX,,,XXX
L19 XXX,,,XXX
L20 XXX,,,XXX
O: native ground
X: native wall
.: empty space
V: ramp down
^: ramp up
,: loam floor
+: constructed floor
Here my problems:
#1: My depot is beyond L20. It is not accessible. According to the legend, the three-tile shaft leading to it is not accessible beginning from line #01. Only the middle row is marked as accessible. Why? Shaft is three tiles wide, ramps are three tiles wide ... I don't get it.
{Edit: Before you read on: I found the trouble with the depot, it was a stupid one-tile-access to the actual room ... laughably!}
#2: My dwarves have stopped moving between "inside", i.e. beyond line #15, and "outside", meaning the true outside and the shaft until line #14. Why? The ramp should be navigable!
#3: Okay, the ramp in line #15 is not THAT navigable - the middle ramp reads as "unusable". Why is that? And: Even if it unusable, my dwarfes should be happy with the ramps close to the wall which do NOT read as unusable ... And the way for the wagons is obstructed even before that ... I don't get it ...
{Edit: Interestingly: Although the ramp is "unusable", the depot is still accessible ... Weird ...}
Thanks for your insights!
Cheers,
Cat
