A '''tunnel''' is an underground goblin or dwarf-made construction that connects sites together. Like [[road]]s, they are built during world gen. In addition to connecting to fortresses and other sites, tunnels always{{verify}} intersect the first [[cavern]] layer at various points. They are paved with stone blocks.
  
A '''tunnel''' is an underground [[dwarf|dwarven]] construction that connects generated [[fortress]]es and [[mountain halls]] together.
+
When embarked on in Fortress Mode they are open at the map edge, potentially allowing [[Fun]] to arrive. Fluids, diplomats, and merchants will leave via the tunnel just like any other open map edge in the caverns. This feature differs from previous versions, which capped these tunnels at the map edge. Ruins embarked upon in [[Reclaim_fortress_mode]] frequently include a tunnel connecting directly to the deep central shaft.
  
On maps tunnels are represented by black dashed lines or grey double lines in ASCII mode. The name of the tunnel may be seen when mousing over it on the embark map. There are both a [[Settings#Embark|setting]] and an [[Advanced_world_generation#Allow_Init_Options_to_Show_Tunnels|advanced world generation]] option to prevent the display of them on maps.
+
In Adventure Mode tunnels are probably the most convenient way to travel underground, as they are guaranteed not to be blocked and will lead to two or more sites.
  
Tunnels are paved with [[rock]] [[block]] [[floor]]s with [[ramp]]s at elevation changes. They are located in the first [[cavern]] layer, and the sides are frequently open to the caverns.
+
In [[Legends]] the history of the civilization that built a tunnel will mention when it was created. Tunnel names will include words like ''cave, deep, passage, corridor, hall''. Unlike roads, there are not separately constructed or named bridges.  
 
 
Fortresses can be [[embark]]ed over tunnels. The tunnels are open at the edges of the embark, allowing easily accessible [[fun]], but they can be blocked off by constructing [[wall]]s and/or raising [[bridge]]s.
 
 
 
Tunnels are the most convenient way for [[adventure mode|adventurer]]s to travel underground. Fast travel is allowed along them, unlike other underground areas. They may provide a path between dwarven mountain halls and the surface via fortresses.
 
 
 
Tunnels are built during the [[world generation]], like [[road]]s. In [[legends]], viewing the history of dwarven civilizations will mention tunnels they've constructed. Tunnel names will include words like ''cave'', ''deep'', ''passage'', ''corridor'', and ''hall''. Unlike roads, there are not separately constructed or named bridges.
