A '''tunnel''' is an underground [[dwarf|dwarven]] construction that connects generated [[fortress]]es and [[mountain halls]] together.

A '''tunnel''' is an underground [[dwarf|dwarven]] construction that connects generated [[fortress]]es and [[mountain halls]] together. Like [[road]]s, they are built during the [[world generation]]. Tunnels are located at the first [[cavern]] layer, and tunnel walls are frequently exposed to the environment. They are paved with [[rock]] blocks.
  
On maps tunnels are represented by black dashed lines or grey double lines in ASCII mode. The name of the tunnel may be seen when mousing over it on the embark map. There are both a [[Settings#Embark|setting]] and an [[Advanced_world_generation#Allow_Init_Options_to_Show_Tunnels|advanced world generation]] option to prevent the display of them on maps.
+
Fortresses can be [[embark]]ed over tunnels. Tunnels are open at the edge of the map, allowing easily accessible [[fun]]. They can be blocked off by constructing [[wall]]s.
  
Tunnels are paved with [[rock]] [[block]] [[floor]]s with [[ramp]]s at elevation changes. They are located in the first [[cavern]] layer, and the sides are frequently open to the caverns.
+
Tunnels are the most convenient way for [[adventure mode|adventurer]]s to travel underground. Fast travel is allowed along tunnels, unlike other underground areas. They provide a direct path to dwarven mountain halls from the surface.
  
Fortresses can be [[embark]]ed over tunnels. The tunnels are open at the edges of the embark, allowing easily accessible [[fun]], but they can be blocked off by constructing [[wall]]s and/or raising [[bridge]]s.
+
In [[legends]], viewing the history of dwarven civilizations will mention tunnels they've constructed. Tunnel names will include words like ''cave'', ''deep'', ''passage'', ''corridor'', and ''hall''. Unlike roads, there are not separately constructed or named bridges.
