Author Topic: [40d] Stone? What stone? Oh, that obsidian? Yeah, we don't see that. >_>  (Read 1943 times)

I'm working on a soil layer, because there is an aquifer. Fortunatly, there is a magma pipe on my map, so I thought "Oh, hey, I'll use the obsidian for my fire-safe stuff!"

Or so I thought. Even though I have a stone of obsidian on my map, it says that it doesn't have access to it. There is a clear line to it, too.

I went into building Walls, and it doesn't register Obsidian on the list.

Is this a known issue/feature/bug/some-other-shit?

No, I figured it out.

My miner channeled, instead of dug a down staircase.

Sounds more like: I designated a channel instead of a down staircase.
Dwarves will NOT dig the wrong thing where you designate.

Sometimes they dig a trap for themselves instead of a pit or moat and sometimes they dig a maze instead of a dining room.

and sometimes they dig a giant tunnel leading to a death-trap of flooding lava when you specifically wanted to have a lava waterfall covering the entrance to your fort, thus killing most of the fort anywayz.....

Sometimes they dig a cold, watery death for themselves when all you wanted was a well.

Sometimes when they touch, the honesty is too much...
And sometimes they insist on cleaning lava filled tunnels.
