![]() Two rooms or hallways connected by a staircase have, effectively, no tiles between them-a stockpile of metal beneath your blacksmiths can sometimes be better than one beside it. ![]() I'm spelling out exact tile movement and emphasizing staircases because a key bit of design in Dwarf Fortress is about making your underground base at least somewhat vertical.
