You are playing an alpha - I fail to see the problem.

You cannot mine from the top of a ramp because it has no floor. It's empty space and the actual terrain only exists on the level below.

you can try designating the area as restricted, but it is usually simpler to watch them build the wall then suspend it if they hop to the wrong side. Activate construction again once they leave.

Too bad we cannot set floodgates directly on top of floodgates, with it you could make a massive door for the entrance of your fortress.

Yeah, porting the saves works fine.

Do a fresh install of the latest version, start it up so it makes the appropriate folder in data\, and transfer the region folder over to the new data\save\ directory

In the later versions he disabled mud tracking.

I'm not sure why you would play one earlier than 33f, since that fixed sieges
