In the newer versions of DF channeling now causes ramps to appear on the sides. I was wondering if there was a way to remove these ramps so it would be a cliff.

[JohnLukeG]

The only way is to remove ramps from the ground up.  Unfortunately, tapping water or magma without leaving those ugly flashing ramps is now impossible.

Just make wooden stairs for your miners to get out and get rid of all the ramps.

I just wish there was a water-soluble building material.

to get the miner out i usually just build stairs up and when hes done just build a floor over the top stair

[ISGC]

if you mine out the area below before hand, the channels will not create ramps.

And which of these helps with not leaving a ramp down into water/magma when you channel something open?

Alternative 1:
Dig the ramp.
Go down and remove it.
Walk around until the miner is above where you want the miner to be.
Channel down; he'll dig under his own feet and fall.

Alternative 2:
Dig the ramp and an extra ramp.
Remove the first ramp.
Have the miner walk out of the pit.
Cave-in over the second ramp.

If you need to do this underwater / undermagma, you need to pump.

Thanks for all the help. I wasn't moving liquids, I just needed to have cliffs for the way I am designing my fort's entrance. This should work perfectly.

Why not 2 options? Channel from top, and channel from bottom.

Why not 2 options? Channel from top, and channel from bottom.

It's called "Carve Ramp."

I meant remove ramp from top/botoom.
