Remove construction too slow
« on: January 08, 2017, 08:43:29 pm »

It takes 5 days to remove a constructed up stairs, is that normal?

Yes, and it used to be even slower.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

its highly annoying, especially when you start getting cancellation spam  "cannot path to destination" when you realized that the 10x10 floors you designated were actually walls, and now you have to remove them all

I suspect it's because constructions are very powerful things and shouldn't be used lightly?

It kind of makes sense to me. You can make a permanent and perfectly imperious wall out of soap, and quickly. It shouldn't be that easy to take it apart again.

Well, I just figured out it was goblins and humans who did the job slowly.
A dwarf can rip the floor in like 1 day.

Let's wait until the enemies get the ability to reconstruct built walls and bridges. We might want this old slow deconstruction speed back. Although, the enemies will also know how to mine, so why would they even want to deconstruct things.
