How to move a forniture up and down a ladder (Z level)?

[Dead]

As the title implies, after hours of endless suffering, empty research on wiki, and more I can't figure out how, you move a damn floor lamp, down the stairs to the cellar. Tried dragging it with G, no success, Tried throwing it into a hole I dug, Nothing. I have no other ideas, maybe some of you know something.

uff I hope this game gets a key overlay now that it's on steam like DF.

You can't, you can't drag stuff through stairs. If it's a standing lamp maybe you can deconstruct it into an item and install it again downstairs

Thanks, that was the solution to my problem, I had to deconstruct the object and move it underneath, finally press * to open the menu and place it.

I finally have a lamp in the basement.
Now, I just need to be able to connect it to the solar panel on the surface...

You can move furniture down a Z level if there is a hole in the floor. Power cords can go across Z levels too.

I believe you also need a battery to connect to the lamp and solar panel? I remember hearing something about solar panels not being able to directly power things aside from batteries. I believe a simple car battery will do.

Thanks for the advice, I managed to assemble things following your suggestions.

Now I'm investing in a new, probably failed project, which is to create a mobile base on an armored bus (the base of the model is a prison bus), but I'm confused by how the Z levels work between above and below the vehicle. In short, the parts that are on the roof, those on the level where the PG moves and drives, and the structural frame under the vehicle.

They aren't really Z Levels, but the basic concept islaid out here: https://cddawiki.chezzo.com/cdda_wiki/index.php/Vehicle_construction

you are literally paying for the free game... there is basically no difference between this steam upload and what you can download for free.

Yes, I also played the free versions of CDDA from Github, with and without various mods for graphics. With the enormous annoyance of having to re-download each new update manually

What is the point of your comment? yea, for now the 2 version are the same. And?
the author has been working on it for years, the game is fun, and having the Steam version guarantees me automatic updates between versions and in the future the Workshop, as well as cloud saving. I'm sure that the author, given the income that the game generates for him, will be more inclined to work on it, as happened with the guys from DF

I always smile when people cry about other people's money...

Have they? I look back at the changelogs and their name rarely shows up.

theyve certainly helped, but they havent done any real work on CDDA IN years yet theyve been asking for money for it for quite some time.

And even now, now that they are getting money, they arent in the changelogs at all.

but you do you, Imma keep doing me.
