Quick, need to remove 50 z lvls
« on: June 30, 2012, 07:43:34 pm »
What's the fastest way, other than channeling the topmost layer one by one?

EDIT: Also, it's to get my volcano to be ground level because the magma is but the rest of it is not. So 50 z levels need to go.

Fastest way is to designate every other level as ramps, then collapse it.  The ramps will take out two layers at a time, and the floor between them.   Then the collapse for the remaining floors.

Do you put a support there to make it a on demand collapse?

Yea, usually I have it under a staircase that supports everything.  Sometimes I get creative, and design it so when the top layer collapses, it removes the support for the other layers on the way down, and causes a chain reaction. 

Either way, a collapse that size is going to cause a lot of lag.  Don't be surprised if the game stops for a few minutes.
