Another stuck dwarf due to channeling
« on: November 18, 2011, 04:58:16 am »

I need a hand here, I got a stuck dwarf and hes being quite stubborn.

This is the level he is stuck on.

Below him there is stairs all around him.

Now he wont either channel or dig out a downward staircase on his position or right beside him. So how do I rescue this poor fellow?

Enable some random idler to learn mining. Make them dig stairs.

Have you tried digging an upward ramp, d,r  or upward staircase beside the dwarf and a downward staircase on z+1 above it.

He's probably on break. He'll eventually get back to work and free himself if he doesn't die of thirst first.

If he's anything like me, he only has picks that the Miners themselves bring :P.


Anyway, if you don't want to dig him out, put him on Masonry and have him build some up/down stairs with those rocks.

Yeah, ramps don't hook up to stairs.  Seems like a flaw to me.

Everything should be stairs, when talking ramps, it should be related to traps.  A way to turn stairs into ramps, so we can build water slide traps.  Weee!

I'm sure this was prolly discussed and shot down.  Shame tho, it sure would be a fun thing to see.
