Can rooms go up and down z-levels?
« on: July 13, 2008, 08:23:48 pm »
If i made a meeting hall (from a table or well) and channeled out the roof of the room in such a way that there it is still underground, the roof is just another z-level up and put in a balcony or something, is there a way for me to includer that balcony in the meeting hall room?

This question was triggered by reading about floor hatches on the wiki and how they can be set to 'internal'.

BLASTDAMN. I had hoped to make a multilevel cathedral. Crap. Well, one more item for Toady's incredibly long to-do list.

You can still make a multilevel cathedral, but only the bottom floor will count for the room wealth (you still get fortress wealth from the whole thing, of course). But if you're building things that grandiose, why care when the dwarfs will be mightily impressed either way?

Dwarves are impressed with a well placed door.

"Ah! A doorway! What a GENIUS place to put a door! By Armok, I love this place!" ;)
