Well... was stuck. He died of thirst.

Here's the floor that my only miner got stuck on (after walking down there himself, but I think he may have used the stairs before I messed them up):



...and here's the floor above (imagine the staircases lining up to see where all the pieces fit):



When I realised it was my miner stuck down there, I had him dig the lower staircases to escape, but he decided to start hunting vermin for food while halfway through digging the last block... after about 10 minutes standing on the same square, he died of thirst. Now I have to wait for a caravan before I can get a new pick.

Why did you start with only one miner/pick?

It actually turned out that there was an extra pick somewhere that my dwarves managed to find, but that's not the point.

Upward ramps need a wall to make them work. You completely isolated your upward ramps. They are no longer viable paths.

So you mean like this (H is wall, _ is floor, / is ramp):

Code: [Select]

___
/HHH

instead of this:

Code: [Select]

___
/  H

??

Yes, an upward ramp has to have at least one wall directly beside it, and on the z-level above one of those walls has to have empty space.

One of my numerous drafted military-dorfs somehow got himself stuck -under- a wall. Never noticed 'til it said he died of thirst, and now I have a ghost, and a corpse I can't get...*sigh*

Many thanks to ye' all

Create a memorial slab.
