Suspended construction trick[edit]

A dwarf building on a suspended construction in v0.40.24

Contrary to popular belief, suspended constructions do not prevent a dwarf from standing on a specific tile since early in v0.34.

Here's a simple test:

  1. Embark carefully with 9 stone blocks on a treeless site
  2. Select a location several tiles away from the embark wagon
  3. While paused, designate a 3x3 area of walls using the blocks
  4. Cancel the center wall and the adjacent wall away from the embark wagon
  5. Suspend the rest of the walls
  6. Designate a new center wall using one of the blocks
  7. Unpause and observe where the constructing dwarf stands

Please refrain from adding any references to the "suspended construction trick" unless you can provide a detailed reproducible example.
