So my work on a giant sperm whale farm continues. I have placed bridges over almost the entire edge of the map and linked them all to one lever. I am having a problem though, there are ramps along the edge and I can't smooth them or make the bridge raise on that side. I poked around dfhack looking for a way to smooth them but could not find any. Can animals spawn on ramps? Is there a way to remove them?

Also, I've asked elsewhere, but I'm not sure anyone knows the answer. If I breach the caverns below, any animals migrating onto that area, do they count towards the total animal pop? Would I effectively have to bridge off the caverns. as well to up my chances of the sea spawning creatures?

Also, is there a way to test if a swimming giant sperm whale will deconstruct a retracting bridge? I can't find an answer to that anywhere.

As far as my experience tell, retracting bridges do not deconstruct, they just refuse to move.

As for the rest - perhaps it's possible to have bridges higher up and maybe some constructed floor and walls to serve your purpose?

I can't construct anything on the very edge of the map and the bridges must be raised on solid ground.

I can't construct anything on the very edge of the map and the bridges must be raised on solid ground.

Aha, you've missed a trick. You can build constructed ramps on top of natural ramps on the edge of the map. Deconstruct them afterwards and you will find the tile is flat.

thank you! I will do that now
