Hi all!

I read in wiki that all forgotten beasts are building destroyers, so they are able to destroy hatch covers. However forgotten beast in my fortress doesn't seem to be able to destroy it (he lives in underground caves several years and have an access to up-down stairs with hatch covers). Why?

Thanks in advance.

Forbidden hatch covers can't be destroyed from underneath without another path to their level.
Try unforbiding the hatchcover, or maybe it does not have a tile from where to stand to destroy it, building destroyers have to stand two tiles away from what they are destroying.

Apparently. Which is weird.

What he said, forbidden hatches cannot be destroyed from the stairs below them so long as there is no other path.  Even if you have some long winding traverses half the map other pathway to work around the hatch, it'll still count as an additional way in and allow the hatch to be smashed.
