Summary0005866: Blocked path at a slope
DescriptionHello
I've seen plenty of pathfinding troubles here but I don't really know if they are related to this one.
I tried to dig (channeling) a few levels down on a young fortress. Until I found my miners dying at the bottom of the channeling I was doing.

with <=upward slope and >=downward slope and .=cave floor X=cave wall
for instance, lvl x:
XXXXXX
X<..>X
X<..>X
XXXXXX

lvl x-1:
XXXXXX
X>..<X
X>..<X
XXXXXX
and so on

Strangely the paths are blocked soon.
Steps To ReproduceLoad the game, you'll see that dwarfs will be able to go to the lvl x but not to lvl x-1. (all the stones on lvl x-1 are set to be dumped but no one comes)

Ramps do not work that way - you can only move up a ramp if the ramp is braced against a wall and the destination floor tile is above that same wall.

If you look at the descriptions of those tiles, you will even be told that the ramps are unusable.

Not a bug - user error.

See Quietust's post. This has come up before around here.
