Walls and Floors in Dwarf Fortress
Dwarf Fortress offers various kinds of walls and floors constructed from soil for an economical yet easy building solution although they provide little protection from enemy attacks. Stone walls and floors offer stronger defense though their construction takes more time and resources. Wood is another option but it is easily destroyed.
Metal walls and floors are an excellent choice for players with access to an abundance of metal; these strong yet durable surfaces can withstand wear-and-tear with relative ease, yet can be costly to construct. Glass surfaces may also work though these fragile surfaces could easily shatter.
