They need to be connected to other stairs of the appropriate type to function. Up stairs need to be built below down stairs. Up/down stairs function as both up and down stairs at once. |
| − | Caravan | + | Caravan {{L|Wagon}}s can't travel across stairs -- you need {{L|ramp}}s for those to be able to reach your {{L|trade depot}}. |

Falling creatures ignore stairs and may get seriously hurt if the real ground is several z-levels below them. {{L|Floor hatch}}es can stop both falling creatures and liquid.
