Introduction

Dwarf Fortress is a complex and challenging game that requires careful planning and execution. One of the key elements of the game is building and managing your fortress, which often involves removing walls to expand your living space or create new rooms. In this guide, we will show you how to remove walls in Dwarf Fortress.

Step 1: Designate the Wall for Removal

The first step in removing a wall in Dwarf Fortress is to designate it for removal. To do this, you need to use the d key to access the designations menu, and then select the remove construction option. Next, move the cursor over the wall you want to remove and press Enter to designate it for removal.

It’s important to note that you can only remove walls that have been constructed by your dwarves. If the wall was already present when you started the game, you will not be able to remove it.

Step 2: Wait for Dwarves to Remove the Wall

Once you have designated the wall for removal, your dwarves will automatically start working on it. However, it may take some time for them to get to it, especially if they are busy with other tasks. You can speed up the process by assigning more dwarves to the construction labor, or by prioritizing the wall removal task.

It’s also important to note that removing a wall can be dangerous, as it may cause the ceiling or floor above it to collapse. Make sure to keep an eye on the area and evacuate any dwarves who may be in danger.

Step 3: Clean Up the Debris

Once the wall has been removed, there will be debris left behind that needs to be cleaned up. To do this, use the d key to access the designations menu again, and select the dump item option. Move the cursor over the debris and press Enter to designate it for dumping.

Your dwarves will then move the debris to a designated garbage dump area, where it will be disposed of. Make sure to keep your garbage dump area away from your living quarters, as it can attract vermin and cause health problems.

Conclusion

Removing walls in Dwarf Fortress can be a tricky and dangerous task, but with this guide, you should be able to do it safely and efficiently. Remember to designate the wall for removal, wait for your dwarves to remove it, and clean up the debris afterwards. Good luck!
