Is there any way to do it?  Don't collapsing floors sometimes crash through Z-levels?  Because I'd really like to just collapse a ton of rock down a few floors.  Howsat for "exploratory mining"?!

in my experiance, only non rock/metal natural floors (sand for instance) and constructed floors break that way.

i dotn have a lot of experiance this way but i know that i have never broken through natural rock

it does, but it only breaks through a floor if the z-level below is already mined out. there is no difference if a wall is rough, smoothed, ore, constructed or whatever. a steel floor break easy as a soap one does, and a rough obsidian floor will also break. it just has to be mined out below

More often than not, it just doesn't pay off. Using the ramp method should be quicker and safer, especially if you have good miners.

You're an elf, aren't you? The more dangerous, noisy, and needlessly complex something is, the more dwarven it is.

Ramp method?  pfft. I use the scaffolding stair method.  I would collapse, but I prefer to engrave the 18z level high walls.  It gives berserk babies something to look at as they jump off the grand staircase.
