Looks to me like the "remove down stairs" option is missing. But if you rewall it ([b] - [C] - [w]), and then designate it for "Remove Construction" ([d] - [n]), that works to get rid of it. Or just rewall it and leave it as a wall. --Peristarkawan 20:44, 29 October 2007 (EDT) | Looks to me like the "remove down stairs" option is missing.

You remove down stairs by building a floor ([b] - [C] - [f]) over them. "Down stairs" are just holes in the floor.

It seems that building an up/down stairway is the easiest way to build underground. --Vbraun 21:06, 29 October 2007 (EDT) | It seems that building an up/down stairway is the easiest way to build underground. --Vbraun 21:06, 29 October 2007 (EDT) | ||

The above comments are obsolete with the current version as far as I can tell. I accidentally build a down stair where I meant to have an up stair. Constructing a Up Stair on top of it wouldn't build, and neither would Constructing a Floor. 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. Are there any answers to this? [[User:Shadowics|Shadowics]] 00:30, 1 July 2008 (EDT) | The above comments are obsolete with the current version as far as I can tell.

:: I just did the test, I dug a 3x3 up/down stair to the bottom of the map. I placed a barrack over it, and made the 7 dwarf wrestle over it. It's now summer, they are all legendary, yet not even a scratch on them. And they do sleep on stairs. --[[User:Karl|Karl]] 15:00, 28 January 2009 (EST) | :: I just did the test, I dug a 3x3 up/down stair to the bottom of the map.

:::Incidentally, dwarves do tend to hug one side of a hallway or the other depending on where they're traveling, due to the way the pathfinding algorithm works. So if you build several parallel stairways (I recommend a 2x2 grid), that helps to eliminate a choke point. It also allows them to sidestep out of each other's way instead of one dwarf having to crawl (literally) past each other.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 18:16, 15 November 2008 (EST) | :::Incidentally, dwarves do tend to hug one side of a hallway or the other depending on where they're traveling, due to the way the pathfinding algorithm works.
