The designation pattern mentioned in the original post would indeed create unusable ramps. He has no path to the caverns.

True story. Dwarves treat the starting wagon like a meeting zone. The only way to make dwarves stay away from the wagon is to highlight it (q) and deconstruct it (x). You'll need a dwarf assigned to do carpentry for the dissasembly.

Not correct--if you have a dining hall and\or statue garden, no dwarves or animals will idle at the wagon. This has proved out in my last 10+ forts I never remove the wagon, it's a symbol of the hard-pressed expedition that founded the fortress, it must be protected from invaders and buildingdestroyers, berserking assholes, and the like. Think of it as your fortress' Flag

I fly my flag at my trade depot 

And your wagon only counts as a meeting hall until you designate one.

Dwarves hang out by the wagon if there are no other meeting halls or meeting zones. If there is anything else they will hang out in your meeting hall/zone instead.

If the wagon is destroyed and you have no meeting hall/zone dwarves will just wander the map randomly when not doing anything.

I suppose you could make ramps like this:

Code: [Select]

xd     0
xx

xr     -1
xd

xx     -2
dr

dx     -3
rx

d=dug
r=ramp
x=surrounding


You could, but there are exactly zero situations where that would be preferable to a 2x2 staircase in the same spot.
