can be made from wood at the carpenter's shop too

This should be merged with the other Hatch Cover topic - I didn't realise this one existed already as I was working from the Furniture category. Matryx 04:45, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Done. See Rule P. Old topic seemed to be a stub and is archived here:
Constructed from stone (and perhaps other materials) at the Mason's workshop. Used to build a floor hatch.

Cleaning up

I think this article should be merged with floor hatch into a single Hatch one (a bit like door). Currently, Hatch redirects to floor hatch.--Aykavil 07:26, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

I've merged everything to here, perhaps an admin can move to Hatch rather than cutting and pasting to there. Marasmusine 06:29, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

Destroyable?

Can floor hatches be destroyed? I'm assuming not, but will my otherwise nigh-impervious tower be destroyed if a dragon comes to town?

Not Trap Doors

One cannot make trap doors out of wall hatches since the pressure plate cannot be on the same tile. One could build a collapsing floor trap with supports, but hatches wouldn't work.

Hey, who said that trap floors have to be for 1 unit? I dunno about you, but having a hall full of hatches that trigger when you reach near the end sounds pretty entertaining... Having 10 goblins simultaneously fall into a pit of lava below... Haha.

Inside/Outside?

Can hatches be used to toggle an area between "outside/inside"? Sharp 14:45, 31 January 2009 (EST)

No. They cannot. --Zchris13 21:36, 23 February 2009 (EST)
