Help with above ground fort
« on: June 04, 2011, 09:06:08 pm »

Hi, I can't build beds because it registers my above ground rooms as outdoors. I also can't build stairs to build a floor above it for a roof. what do I do?

you could use the embark anywhere tool  to embark on a premade fort for yourself.

have to use ramp, stairs dont seem to work for building the floor avbove.

Are you trying to designate stairs? Designated stairs are carved out from dirt/stone, you need to build them. They're in the same category as walls and floors.

If you are trying to build them, can you tell us what's going wrong? What does it tell you when you try to build them?
