3D Map Format
The map is divided in levels. Tiles on each level are composed by whatever is on that tile, and the floor below it.
# Level 1 = Level 1 + @ Level 0 ========<= Level 0 ####### > Level -1 ========== Level -1
A channel removes the floor on the level it was designated, and the wall on the level below.
@ 0 === ===== 0 ### ##### -1 ========= -1
Mining removes the walls, but does not affect the floors.

@### 0

Stairs down only remove the floor, and stairs up do not affect the floor or the ceiling. Stairs up+down act as a combination of both.

Upramps remove the ceiling above them and create a down-ramp automatically. They can't be used by dwarves unless built specifically (todo: include how here)
