yeah. how many time have you had dwarves go round a block just because they would have to mine it from a diagonal otherwise. Fecking dwarves.

There is a ridiculously easy fix for z-level pathfinding and I'm sure someone's probably mentioned it in the Wall of Text that I didn't read.


In init.ini:

[Z_LEVEL_WEIGHT:20]

A token that allows you to add an artificial amount of rooms in between Z-levels. Going down a single level in that example counts as 20 'tiles'. The higher you put that number, the more horizontally your dwarves will travel when their pathfinding routine kicks in.

Unfortunately that is only a work-around. And a bad one at that. If you do that, they'd rather walk twenty tiles to the left of them to get a rock, when they could go down the stairs right next to them, and grab the rock there, three steps. Not a fix, merely a poor work-around.
