Hey quick question guys, I want to build furniture and shops on top of constructed floors and I was wondering if there is any way I can do that?

Do I have to download some sorta program? Go into the raws? What?

I really really want to know if you can just build a house and dump your stuff in it, rather than carving it out of the mountains.

Un-dwarfy, I know, but it's connected to my project....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alright I've been "playing" DF since I learned about this back June, downloaded the lazynewbpack and just stuck to using what was in there(Dwarf Therapist, Stonesense, Soundsense. Still too chicken to use quickfort.) I got the Mayday tileset set up because they look the prettiest.

"played" through my first goblin winter, through my first cavern, through my first flood(both kinds blueberry and strawberry water), through Ctulhu's little turdlings that comes out in the caverns,through that one time I saw candy and CLOWNS CAME OUT AND GAVE US BALLOONS!!.... through ambushes, theives, seiges and Elven pouting(oh god the pouting) and got all my dwarves cut,slashed,stabbed,puked on, maimed and bled on(and elven blood is the MOST TRAUMATIZING THING MY Dwarves had to endure)

They built and tore and built and tore and got drunk and built and tore and threw scepters at elves(or were they arrow bolts, who cares they were elves) They commited vandalism, attempted homicide, attempted suicide, attempted genocide, succesful homicide.suicide,genocide and staying on break FOOOORRREEEEEEEVVVVEEEEERRRRR.......

They have a ton of crap heeped on them, and I can assure they gave as good as they got every step of the way.

In short, they have done it all.

Except one thing.

...

BE NORMAL!_{(LIES! Slander! HERESY!^cookies!TREASON!)}

Yes, folks I want to make the most boringest dwarvenfort ever conceived .

May Armok have Mercy on me.

So.....can you help me with this?

1. Construct the floor

2. Order the furniture/shop to be placed

3. Watch dwarves build it.


Some buildings (like beds and coffins) need to be built "inside" which means you need to build a roof over the site first (ie another constructed floor 1z up). Some don't.

Well that's weird.

I built a 12Longx12Widex3High box in a cavern level and it doesn't work.

Maybe it's because they aren't made by blocks..I Heard that was important....I'll try again in this project and hope for the best...

::EDIT::

New question.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials on burrow assigning??

Burrows are easy just make the inside of your fort or where you want them to go a burrow name it, then go to m - a make a new alarm and go to the part where your burrows show up and press enter. A A should show up next to the name of your burrow if you now set the Civ Alert on that alert all the dwarves will go to that place.

What do you mean by "doesn't work"?

Buildings should be considered distinct from constructions. While both are built via the b build menu, constructions are inert to q and t, are removed by designation, and are generally more similar to terrain features. Furthermore, dwarves can place buildings on constructed floors, but buildings cannot overlap other buildings, nor can constructions overlap other constructions. Also constructions provide support while buildings do not.

You can't build a construction on top of a construction - that's pretty much the only 'difference' you'll note.

So if you floored an area you can't put walls on it. But otherwise its treated as a normal (unengraveble) floor.
