I was expecting a modification of stair attributes tbh.
it should make some 'projects' much easier now.

...(i just can't imagine how it could possibly be done... except for maybe a kinda screw shape, that comes down from the ceiling to form a spiral staircase...

Have you never actually seen a rope ladder? It's two ropes and a bunch of wooden slats or rope rungs.

I think Pie was saying he didn't know how building stairs downward into an open empty space could be done.

But thanks for the pics.

It's one thing to talk about rope ladders, but seeing them descend into the abyss is much more terrifying that I imagined.

[Wavecutter]

Thanks for the clarification. I totally missed the point of his post.

The same way building floors out from a cliff works. Or the same way an entire building balances on a support. It just DOES.

Aaa-



Underground stuff's done!
I'm so excited!

[Jar of Jam]

Getting closer ... closer ... aaaaaargh, the anticipation is killing me!

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, currently a lot of stuff in the game functions on raw Dwarven Physics. I guess just building stairs down is an alright implementation, but then I demand that this be, in the future, extended into the whole of construction. It should be possible to build a wall down from a surface above, so we can dam rivers with impunity.

*talks like JarJar* Yeap... its getting closa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*talks normal*

Any bets on how long the cat mouth thing will take? Probably all of 15 minutes if he hasn't done it already.

Or perpetual motion machines. Or leaves on a plant that needs no sunlight. Or flying creatures that only drop when they stop going forward/backward/whateverdirectiontheyweregoingward.

Aaa-

Untelligent! Stop scaring Ironhand!

[Pie]

Thinking about it, now kinda like my idea of a screw that goes down to form a stair. In fact, a screw that goes up is also pretty cool and dwarvenly to boot. I'm just going to imagine that that is how dwarves build stairs from now on.

[SirPenguin]

Final stretch! Time to assume it'll come out "any day now"

...for the next 3 months

Sorry, had to do this:

Toady: will you compile the 40d17 version for us to test, before you attempt to merge it?

I remember, Baughn made the 40d17 thread quite a while back, yet it's still locked and the links are dead.
