Can the wagons that come with the human caravans travel over floor?--Tarsier 18:28, 6 November 2007 (EST)

I've tried building floor directly on the ground, and they travelled over it with no problem. I've never tried building a raised floor for them to travel over, though I suspect they'd have no trouble with it (provided, of course, they had the appropriate ramps and such to travel up to it). --JT 18:48, 6 November 2007 (EST)

I think that a constructed floor counts as part of a room's value (correct me if I am wrong). Assuming that this is true, could one smooth and engrave an entire floor and then build a constructed floor on top of it and have both values added to room totals?--Varsashi 21:47, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Maybe, but if you really want to boost the value of a room, put a platinum statue in it.--Maximus 23:24, 10 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Trapped Floors?

I know you cannot build walls on top of floors (note: Why not?) -- can you build traps on top of floors? I picture a fortress with the volcano mostly capped by floor, except for a few vents for random things to crawl out of -- only to be chopped, diced, and otherwise destroyed by large serrated discs. Free bones! :)

Two constructions (wall and floor are both constructions) may not share a tile. You can build buildings on a constructed floor tile (weapon trap is a building, floor is a construction). (edited for clarity) Rkyeun 00:07, 16 February 2008 (EST)

Don't you contradict yourself here? What is a floor - a construction or a building? I always thought, that constructions are buildings for myself... --Dorten 23:33, 10 January 2008 (EST)

A floor is a construction. I've rewritten the construction article to explain the various differences better.--Maximus 19:22, 11 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] building on angles

you can only set a floor to be built on a 90 degree angle, but the dwarves will build on a 45 degree like f means floor, W means wall, o means epty space, D means dwarf

FFF             DFF
WoW             WoW

Floors do not provide support on a 45 degree angle, only to the cardinal directions (eg North, South, East, and West). Dwarves meanwhile can build in all 8 directions. --JeebusSez 00:40, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
