Is it possible to dig down into a layer that has been completely mined out? What if it's completely channeled out? Suppose you only have access to the layers above it.

[Jim Groovester]

It should be possible to drop a dwarf down using a retracting bridge. And then just enable masonry on him and have him build a stair up.

Just find somewhere connected to a floor to put a down stair. As long as the up stair on the bottom is supported by a floor, things should work out.
Edit, kinda: Throwing dwarves in would work.

if your asking to dig below a hollowed layer while being 1 layer about the hollowed one,

- layer
0 hollow
-

you can dig a downstair and build upstair

*words underlined to avoid confusion

You can build staircases (not dig) in the build menu...


Yould probably ahve to drop a dwarf to the lower level and build a normal up staircase.
Then build a up/down staircase on top of that, then a down staircase on top of that.

[wagawaga]

You can only build up stairs and ramp if the builder dwarf is on the same level of construction, htey cannot build a up stair from the down stair above it.

intentional cave-in maybe?  like when mining through an aquifer.
