Summary0001981: Constructing wall/floor over ice ramp/stairs, followed by removing ramp/stairs, creates a "void tile"
DescriptionThere are currently issues with ice ramps.

First: Constructed Floors built over Ice ramps do not remove the down ramp designation on the z-level above the ramp.

Second: Removing a constructed floor/wall built over an ice ramp, then (d)(z) the ramp, and the result is void space that cannot be designated or built over and is impassible.
Steps To ReproduceFirst:
1) Find Ice
2) Channel/Carve Ramp
3) (b)(C)(f) over one of the revealed ramps, using any material
4) Once complete, go up one z level and see the Downward Slope

Second:
1) As above in First 1-3
2) Remove the constructed object(d) (n)
3) Remove the carved ramp (d)(z)
4) Void space will be created, possibly containing a stone of ramp material.

The second is this old bug:

# 001008 □ [dwarf mode][jobs][constructions] (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=23971.0 [^]) dig ice ramp -> build pillar -> remove pillar -> dig out ice ramp leads to a void square

Encountered the second bug while doing maintenance on my winter-time well. Can provide a save if Toady thought it'd be interesting.

Edit: Actually, I'm not 100% positive that I followed the same steps, but regardless it's probably the same end result, and it's pretty clear that ice just doesn't work quite right overall.

here's an example of the error: see northwest corner of tower moat

Wow... I didn't know this was such an old bug...
Still happens in 0.40.02

Is either related to this one or a duplicate.

This still happens in 44.12. I built walls over ramps, then removed them and removed the ramps. This resulted in void tiles as described in the post.
