So, I was fortuitous enough to find an embark site with the magma tube exposed. I dug down to the caverns to get that over with, located a good spot near them (emergency drainage if necessary; I'll mostly build above this level), and dug out workshop space and then carved out the areas beneath, building ramps to connect the two levels. My miner finished excavating the area below and now can't find a path up the ramp he's standing next to to get back to the level above.

Is this an example of dwarven physics at work, and I've merely missed something obvious? Or is this an actual bug? Screens of the levels can be arranged for if necessary.

make sure that there is a free floor at the upper side of the ramp.
If there is nowhere to stand, the dwarf will not be able to scale the ramp.

Code: [Select]


 0      -1
..+   ++#
.v+   +^#
..+   ++#


[Avelon]

Floor adjacent to the slope on both sides should be sufficient, right?

Code: [Select]

Level 1    Level 2
++v|        ++^
++v|        ++^

By looking at your diagram you seem to have something like this (from the side):

Code: [Select]

___ |
___^|
Where _ is a floor, | is a wall and ^ is the base of a ramp.

This won't work because ramps don't let dwarves teleport to the level above, the let them climb walls. You need this (also from the side):

Code: [Select]

   ___
__^|


[Avelon]

So if I have floor space to the left and a wall on the right, the ramp up requires floor space on the RIGHT of the upper layer, and left will not work?

i.e.

Code: [Select]

Side-view
++v| Upper z-level
++^| Lower z-levelWhere + is floor, ^ and V are ramps, and | is a wall.

This won't work?


EDIT: Wait, I see now. The wall being climbed is right there on the right, and there is essentially empty space where the ramp is because a ramp requires a wall, unlike stairs.

Thanks! It took me a moment to see what you were talking about, Mini.
