It is also important to remember that you cannot build another construction on top of a constructed floor, but you can build constructions atop natural, artificial and implied floors. | It is also important to remember that you cannot build another construction on top of a constructed floor, but you can build constructions atop natural, artificial and implied floors. | ||

When building floors, your builders will carry the material to the job site themselves. A useful tip when building [[megaproject|large projects]] is to first make a stockpile nearby, and only allow one type of material in it. After it fills up, build only as many constructions as there are items in the stockpile. Wait for your haulers to refill the stockpile, then build the next section of the project. | When building floors, your builders will carry the material to the job site themselves.

This example usually has a staircase in the middle supporting it, instead of a wall below (in that case, there would need to be another access point for dwarves to remove the floor, which would make this example much more complicated). | This example usually has a staircase in the middle supporting it, instead of a wall below (in that case, there would need to be another access point for dwarves to remove the floor, which would make this example much more complicated). | ||

*When removing a constructed floor over a natural or artificial floor, the underlying floor will revert to the base layer type (meaning [[gem]] clusters, [[ore]] deposits, [[engraving]]s, etc. that were in the underlying floor are lost). | *When removing a constructed floor over a natural or artificial floor, the underlying floor will revert to the base layer type (meaning [[gem]] clusters, [[ore]] deposits, [[engraving]]s, etc. that were in the underlying floor are lost). | ||
