Multiple Z level designations (At one time)
« on: July 29, 2008, 10:55:50 am »
I don't suppose it'd be too hard to do, other than changing a few lines around, but I'd like the ability to designate multiple Z levels at a time with one designation. The game already tracks where the designation started over multiple Z levels, so it'd be swell if you could make it so that it makes that area (three left and 10 down Z's) all be designated.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I agree... I like to have a large central shaft of up/down stairs, and designating it z-level by z-level is not too usable. :P

Agreed, being able to designate a rectangular prism would be nice.

If this is implemented, an open space designation that acts like a channel but has dwarves go from the top down and mine the bottom layer would be nice.

And, not mine out the outsides so that they can't reach the middle.
