<achewater> force attack down either entirely doesnt work, or does not work when you are stuck (context : down stairs are in an asphalt pool, critter below in the way (also stuck), force attack down does nothing regardless of keybind fiddling)

Used to be possible, no longer works in beta.

Potentially higher impact than assumed. Consider this example in screenshot.

No way to descend Bethesda Suda because cragsmensch make this scenario common. Will likely have to leave and pray for an eventual spiral borer. Or, find a natural cave, and somehow mine a tunnel in.

On second thought, I take back my comment. This issue bothered me because it was formerly possible to mine out a staircase, but…in the scenario above I mined south until I found a natural descent, mined north to get to my original target, then cleared out the rubble blocking the staircase.

I made this mess for myself by backing a golem into a chokepoint. Having to dig my way out of this mess – literally – was actually quite satisfying from an RP perspective.

Maybe this is a noble bug, an accidental feature. Although, I am less convinced of that with the original example involving stuck creatures.
