Automate tearing down of floors
« on: July 02, 2010, 07:14:50 pm »

I would like to see constructions that automatically put floors under themselves, demolish any constructed floors that they are ordered to be built on.

I suggest you don't think too much what you build and where. When ever you need something, build it as close as possible to where you need it. that way your fortress will eventually become epic

That would make towers a lot easier to deal with if you didn't have to rip their floors apart manually to make new walls inside them.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I would also like the option of using the original constructed floors material for building the new construction. Would save the effort of re-selecting the material and the time it takes for the dwarf to haul it, too.

The only dragon I've seen in game walked into my rats nest of a fortress and died in the flames of the conflagration he started in the dining hall.  Of course, nearly every dwarf was dead by then, but we consider it a tactical victory.

Sooner or later walls will require more material than floors anyway, so that may be moot.
