Some help with Z levels please?
« on: October 30, 2007, 11:37:00 am »

Well, just started my first fortess... I started on a plain without a mountain. So... is it possible to dig downwards, so I can build underground quarters?

Start by making stairways on both levels. After that it'll let you dig underground.

You can also designate channels 'h' which will let you mine out the ground of the next Z level down.  That can save you a step in some cases.  You can turn walls on the current level into up ramps, I didn't find an way to make down ramps yet

You can use up ramps to make down ramps. Just lower the level and place the up ramp and the miner will mine it out.

Thank you, I was just wondering how to dig down.
