Each time you press the key moves you to a different level, and you only need a staircase on that level and above or below to get access. So build a down stair where you want the top of the staircase to be, an up stair where you want the bottom to be, and up/down ones between them.

Forgot me tag - Lowlandlord 01:39, 31 July 2008 (EDT)ĭid you build up or up/down stairs on the level below, or just a series of down stairs one below the other? The up and down stairs function as the bottom and the top respectively of a staircase.
All in all consider that the people you may be informing don't know nearly as much about the game as you do, I have alot of friends that would like this if simple instructions and explanations were provided, but with those lacking theyed probably play like 1 hour, ever. Additional info that should be provided, how many squares are needed to go down, just one or 3 per level or something? What version were they added in (I used to play a version that had a single level, when you always dug to the east and there was always a river and magma and adamantine).

How do I get the stupid things to work? I built down stairs and mapped out an irrigation system for my miners to work out down there and they haven't touched it (been about an in game year, during which they did have alot of free time with no tasks on any level). Are there any answers to this? Shadowics 00:30, 1 July 2008 (EDT) So I tried making a channel through it as suggested above, and this did indeed remove the down stairs, however, it still reads as 'Blocked' when I try to make a floor over the hole. Constructing a Up Stair on top of it wouldn't build, and neither would Constructing a Floor. I accidentally build a down stair where I meant to have an up stair.
The above comments are obsolete with the current version as far as I can tell. neither method worked for me (at least in 33e)- Dorten 08:00, 11 January 2008 (EST) channeling - Jackard 08:33, 11 January 2008 (EST) Removing Down Stairs (Again) it says nothing about carved up-down stair.
Dwarf fortress stairs how to#
The stairs article says how to destroy constructed stairs, carved up stairs and carved down stairs. You're kidding right? You just edited an article that answers that (and only that) exact question immediately before editing this talk. Is there any way to destroy carved (not constructed) up-down stair? - Dorten 01:13, 11 January 2008 (EST) Building another ramp solved the problem, more testing obviously needed Otherdwarf 18:58, 30 October 2007 (EDT) Strange, when I rewalled so that the only access to my tower was a stair I could no longer build floors out of wood that was lying outside. I've been using the top of my mountain as a gigantic rock stockpile.- Xazak 19:38, 2 November 2007 (EDT) Rocks and any variation thereof can also be moved on stairs. I dug a few levels underground using the shaft method of up/down stairs and trees chopped down on ground level could be carried into the fortress. Logs and stone(probably more, not fully tested) can not be transported on stairs, limiting their usefulness. On the other hand, they will dig a ramp along with the ceiling, when digging from above.- Dorten 01:13, 11 January 2008 (EST) It looks like the main use for ramps is to provide access for anything bigger than a tile wide, such as a wagon or a group of dwarves, and presumably you'll already have access to both levels involved in the rampmaking.- Xazak 19:38, 2 November 2007 (EDT) Ramps don't appear to knock out the ceiling of a tile, whereas stairs do. Stairs work fine.- McFrugal 02:19, 30 October 2007 (EDT) I initially tried creating a ramp to dig upwards, and my miner refused to dig further on the upper level. I'm betting that dwarves can traverse ramps faster than stairs, but I haven't tested this yet. It seems that building an up/down stairway is the easiest way to build underground. "Down stairs" are just holes in the floor. You remove down stairs by building a floor ( - ) over them. Or just rewall it and leave it as a wall. But if you rewall it ( - ), and then designate it for "Remove Construction" ( - ), that works to get rid of it. Looks to me like the "remove down stairs" option is missing.
