How do you destroy floors?
« on: August 17, 2010, 01:44:58 am »
I'm making a giant hole in the ground to take care of my miasma problem (Totally just building the butcher's shop outside next time, the hole has already killed a dwarf) and I have several floors, despite channeling out all of the floors. How do I destroy the floor (thing the dwarves walk on, in this case) on each seperate floor? If that makes any sense.

If you channeled the floor, then you'll have ramps left, which you can remove from the same level as the ramp (not above it) with d->z. If you constructed floors, you can use "remove constuctions" in the same menu to take them apart.

Be aware that if there is a drop of more than one level, the workers can fall and be injured.  I think a drop of only one level is safe though.

If your butcher shop is spreading miasma, try making larger refuse stockpiles or keeping a dwarf or two for nothing but hauling jobs to keep products like meat moving.

Put your butcher near the food stockpile and make sure the stuff can be put in empty barrels, nothing should rot in the first place. The bones shouldn't rot anyway so the refuse can wait.

If you have a butcher, no food should rot indoors. What you're missing probably is a tanner, it's the FLESH that rots and causes miasma. They turn it to leather.

Also, seal the butcher's room with doors to stop the miasma from spreading...

or designate a large area indoors for refuse dumping and seal it off with doors. Miasma will wander around that one room.
Do not forget, that miasma is in fact heavier than air, and few open upper tiles will not make it go away. Miasma is not generated only on "above ground" tiles. If your refuse dump has one or more "underground" tiles, stuff rotting on them will generate miasma.
