Hovering Stones
« on: November 06, 2007, 04:36:00 pm »

I do the following:
1)Dig out a tile.  This leaves a rock.
2)Dig a ramp from the tile below.  (Ideally, the rock would roll down.)
3)Remove that ramp.  The rock remains in the air.

I'm messing around with unsupported tiles and cave ins.  The ramp-remove approach is intended as a safer technique then channel digging.

And even if you don't remove the ramp, I've noticed that the stone at the top of the ramp never gets picked up to go in a stockpile or dump.

Quick workaround here:

Remove Ramp
Order a Floor to be built on the spot where the stones hovers
Cancel the flood build order.
Gravity will be offended by the nonsense and drag the stone down.
