building glass on glass
« on: February 19, 2009, 11:08:26 am »

I've built a greenhouse in my current fort, and then later built another level of the fort around it.  I want to build another floor to it (in fact, as the fort expands up I intend to keep expanding it too), but it won't let me build glass walls on top of other glass walls/floors.  It says there's already a construction there.

 Things in the (b)uild (C)onstruction list cannot be built on top of eachother, but they will support eachother. So if you have a floor in the way of a wall, remove the floor and make walls in the open space. Note that walls create floors above them that do not block other constructions.

Hey Ruttiger,

Another way to put is "You can construct walls on top of each other. Creatures can walk along the top of a wall after it is constructed. You do not need to construct a floor on top of a built wall"
