Wow, fast replies!

I see. That was a bit disappointing, but the fact that things will knock on my door is a comfort  Guess I gotta get prepared.
And yeah, I'm using largest area on a high end computer, runs fine atm.

16x16 ?

Why WOULD I use graphics when the game is perfectly simple as it is?

Why does my mother civilization have access to plump helmets, rock nuts, pig tails, cave wheat, dimple cups but no sweet pods? What the hell went wrong in there?

Is this normal? No change to raws.

One picture is better than thousand words so here is what I had in mind:

The map only had 1 layer of soil, so I had do make a cave in and drop it down.
Now the tiles behave very oddly:
grass - cannot build farm
dry grass - cannot build farm
silt - farm is ok
Before dropping, all tiles were available for farms.

edit: building and removing construction doesnt help
neither does creating and mining obsidian

ALL tiles have a silt wall directly bellow them.

Farming is weird.
Supposing I really have to have a farm like this, does anyone have a suggestion how to build that stupid farm downthere?
-----------------------
Solution - Irrigate. Muddy floors tricks the game into allowing the farm to be build. This thread was pretty pointless, but what about DF isnt...

No...you dont understand. You cant build there, the picture shows the game at 1 second after embark. After a few more, everything is covered.

Ah, that sucks... I thought there were a couple of patches of land. Too bad though, would have been Fun trying to establish a fortress on top of a lava sea.

You could still use dfliquids to create some islands

There is this:
Then several z levels of this:
Then 20 levels of semimolten rock, then hell.

Since I play with temperature off, I looked up few z levels higher and unpaused. Almost got a seizure from that.
