Hi everyone

This is the first time in a long while since I have played Dwarf Fortress, and I have run into a  bit of a problem creating this fortress. I plan on creating tombs down at the lowest possible level, but for some reason my miners will not dig down to that one last floor. Percentage signs (%) show up on the first digging spots, but the characters do not blink. I have designated mining positions, and have been using up/down stairways to go from level to level. But no one will go down that last floor. Am I doing something wrong? I hope I am not sounding confusing.

Thanks

You can't dig out the lastmost floor, as far as I know. So yeah, leave it be

They won't dig below the bottom floor, so they won't put up/down stairs there.  Use plain up stairs on the bottom floor instead.

That makes more sense. I will give it a try. Thanks.
