Talk:Tile attributes

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki

Huh, I guess it is subterranean and not just inside. Man, that really cramps my fortress design! --Marble Dice 15:17, 3 May 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, and since it's job cancellation instead of just not picking the job (like with forbidden), you get a cluster of dwarves sitting at your fortress door spamming you with cancellation messages. Fun. Anydwarf 15:18, 3 May 2008 (EDT)

inside light subterranean

Is it possible to create a light subterranean tile? e.g. by making a channel inside, covering it with a grate or glass floor, and then channeling above outside? I may experiment this on my next fortress. Random832 17:43, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

due to the way light and aboveground are handled, this is currently impossible. I figure it'll probably be possible sometime into the fire and lighting arc. --Sukasa 18:11, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Inside vs. outside and bridges

Suppose I want my outside meeting area to be covered during seiges. If I build a bridge above the meeting area, will it return to being outside when I retract the bridge? DaPatman 18:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, I just noticed this sentence: "Almost any kind of geometry will block the Outside ray including [...] open and closed bridges," So much for that plan, then. DaPatman 18:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
