Mining option: Remove floor/ceiling
« on: January 06, 2009, 12:31:01 pm »

We should be able to mine out just the floor or ceiling of a tile, instead of channeling through the floor and wall below. This would be helpful for some trap suggestions, such as making stone-fall traps take up space, or disguising pressure plates becoming difficult.

Any dwarf that passes through a tile with no floor can only do so if there's a wall beneath him/her. The dwarf would get a status of lying down until they could move normally. The tile should have a traffic designation of restricted.

The action should not produce any stone, but reveal the tile above/beneath.

I hesitate to click the last spoiler tag because I expect there to be Elder Gods in it or something.

On its own, yes, but I thought that it would work with the trap suggestions that keep coming up.
