[176_38c] 1x1 vertical shaft with ramps
« on: March 19, 2008, 12:25:00 am »

This results in the miner digging the first and second ramps, which of course removes the first ramp, but then the miner ignores the third ramp designation.

Fortunately, I was able to finish the 1x1 shaft as designed by redesignating the remaining ramps as stairs and then channeling the stairs away from the top down.

I'm not sure if the bug is that the miner dug the second ramp or that he didn't dig the rest.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

Ramps need a floor space above them to actually function.

Draco18s I am pretty sure Ziusudra was aiming for an empty 1x1 shaft for a pit/air shaft/waterpipe/etc.

You can only dig down with ramps, not up.

Yes, that would explain why the miner dug the second ramp but not the third; the first ramp is connected to 'floor' on the surface making it 'functional', but the second ramp isn't.

Yes, thank you, I am aware of bug 000607, but I was digging down.

I should have done a diagram to begin with:

code:
Side view:

....@
##^##
##^##
##^##

@ Miner
. Surface floor
# Unmined rock
^ Ramp designation in unmined rock


Ultimately, a ramp by itself (edit: whether connected to a 'floor' above or not) should not allow dig access to the level below it.

Ramps are weird.

I'll note it down and take a look at some point.
