![]() Digging an upward ramp removes the wall-part of the designated tile and both parts of the tile above it. Channeling removes the floor-part as well, leaving open space above, and if a wall-part exists below, it becomes an upward ramp. Mining a tunnel removes the wall-part but leaves the floor-part in place. For example, in the bottom right figure: "Down stairs, up/down stairs, up stairs, mine x2" is five separate commands.Įach layer in the three-dimensional Dwarf Fortress map consists of two parts: a wall-part, and a floor-part. (The "x2" notation indicates that the command is completed twice.) The dwarf has completed those commands in the order they are listed. Each individual command is separated by a comma ",". ![]() In each of the 9 "digging" scenarios, the dwarf miner is shown as having completed the command(s) listed in that figure, moving from left to right. Up stairs, down stairs, and ramps are red, blue, and mustard (yellow) respectively. Solid green represents existing floor "tiles", cyan represents mined-out floor tiles. Gray/black areas represent un-mined rock, cyan/black represents mined-out areas. When discovering a unique stone, gem or ore, the game will display an annoucement that looks like the following: This uses the mining skill to be completed. NOTE: Constructed walls, stairs or ramps are not dug and instead must be removed using the 'Remove Construction' option ( m, x). Mining can only be done in pre-existing stone or soil. Remove Stairs/Ramp removes a dug-out stairs or ramp.Remove Construction removes a construction, ie.Stairs carves out upward and/or downward stairs.Ramps replaces the section with a ramp, also removing the tile and floor one level above.Channeling removes the section of the wall, the floor, and if possible places a ramp one level below.Digging removes the section of the wall while preserving both the ceiling (which is the floor of the level above) and the floor.There are several types of jobs associated with this skill: Military dwarves equipped with picks will use mining as their " weapon skill." Mining through softer materials such as sand or soil is much faster than mining through stone. Mining refers to either the skill that performs mining, the labor associated with it, or simply the task or job of performing said labor. There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as searching for various stone types, ores and gems, or simply to create the basic tunnels and rooms in your fort. If you have flux doubly so, rather than waste time making iron weapons and armour go immediately to steel and never look back.Mining is an essential part of building a fort in Dwarf Fortress. ![]() Goblinite (aka melting down iron armour you loot from dead green visitors who meet with unfortunate accidents) is a good alternative iron source when you have the magma smelters operational. Plus its so attractive if you like reading combat reports and seeing just what carnage a ☼Bismuth Bronze Battleaxe☼ can do in the hands of an enthusiastic axedwarf. ![]() Bismuth Bronze is good too but is for weapons only, as it can help eke out the most utility from what may be a limited number of ores to make bronze with if thats also a problem you have - ie lack of tin, copper as well as lacking iron. Its almost as good as iron in almost all cases. To address lack of iron, bronze is an acceptable military-useful alloy that will fill in the iron gap until you can source it elsewhere. The key term here being 'visible' obviously, if you use it in conjunction with the dvreveal utility which shows all unexplored sections of all z-levels of the entire map then you will get a complete mineral resource listing. That would be the DFhack utility dfprospector which shows numbers of all visible stones, ores, flux stones and gems.
