A ramp is a map feature that allows dwarves, wagons, and other creatures to move between levels. When viewed with k they are called slopes, and they occur naturally on most maps, acting as hillsides. Dwarves may make them by digging with d + r from below or with d + h from above, or construction with b + C + r.

How do you make a mechanism in Dwarf Fortress?
Mechanisms can be created by a dwarf with the mechanics labor. Stone mechanisms are made at a mechanic’s workshop from any type of hard stone. Metal mechanisms can be made at a metalsmith’s forge from 1 bar of metal and 1 bar of fuel, in trap components. Mechanisms at a forge can only be made with weapons-grade metals.
How long does it take to learn Dwarf Fortress?
This was in about 2 days. I’ve read other forums and a lot of players mention it took them roughly 2 weeks to a month to properly have a functional knowledge of the game.
Build an “up ramp” (b-C-r) in an empty tile. Channel (d-h) the tile directly above the new up ramp. (Your dwarves can reach the upper tile now from the ramp, but unlike with mined up ramps, they won’t automatically mine it as part of creating the ramp itself.) Pick a wall tile adjacent to your new ramp on the lower level.
How do you channel a tile in Dwarf Fortress?
Channel (d-h) the tile directly above the new up ramp. (Your dwarves can reach the upper tile now from the ramp, but unlike with mined up ramps, they won’t automatically mine it as part of creating the ramp itself.) Pick a wall tile adjacent to your new ramp on the lower level. If there isn’t one, construct one (b-C-w).
What kind of staircase system does Dwarf Fortress use?
Dwarf Fortress uses a Wall/Floor system to handle its staircases. That is to say, to connect between two different z-levels, you need a down stairs on the floor of one level, and an upstairs on the wall of the level below that.
Which is easier to craft, a ramp or a ramp?
It takes the same number of raw stones to craft, but is easier to use than a ramp. The wiki has more, but essentially, your problem is that for ramps to work, they also need walls (which it sounds like you have not built). If you dump stones on their heads, they might die.
