Did dwarves get smarter in the new version?
« on: May 15, 2011, 12:22:35 pm »
I noticed a lot less "channel out the floor under another dorfs feet", so I savescummed (in case I was wrong) and designated the centre of a 27-level stairwell to be dug out, all at the same time. Miraculously, nobody hit an obstacle and exploded. Was it just luck?

Not sure, but  they certainly build themselves in if you build a double wall on top of another double wall. First the outer layer. :P

You can avoid this by simply remembering that it goes "last in, first out"
Just designate the outer layer last.
