contrast with features carved from native stone?

How are constructions different from the walls and other features carved out from the designation menu? Are they more vulnerable to being knocked over by trolls or tantruming axedwarves? --Keturn 00:30, 8 November 2007 (EST)

They collapse into their base materials when they cave in. The method for removing them is disassembly (any dwarf can do this) instead of mining. I dont know about trolls and tantrums - instinct says no to that. VengefulDonut 00:40, 8 November 2007 (EST)


Dwarven Stupidity

How do i get my dwarfs to not stand ontop of the floor they are deconstructing? They always fall right after they remove a floor and I always have to build a floor directly below them so they dont injure themselfs. Diabl0658 23:15, 30 November 2007 (EST)

Build a bridge on the area to "catch" them, or build a statue or floodgate on the floor so that they can't stand on it. They can still remove the floor while standing to the side. The statue or whatever will still fall, though. --Turgid Bolk 02:29, 2 December 2007 (EST)

Building a tower

I want to build a tower with a 3x3 floor on the top level for a siege engine.

What I thought was:
###
#.#
###< where # is a wall . is a gap < is a stair of the right direction to get from the lower to the upper level.

What do I do about the . in the middle to be able to build there? I know that when I build a wall I automatically get a floor, but how do I build a floor in mid-air?
