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)
You remove down stairs by building a floor ([b] - [C] - [f]) over them. "Down stairs" are just holes in the floor. Valdemar 19:45, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
It seems that building an up/down stairway is the easiest way to build underground. --Vbraun 21:06, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
I'm betting that dwarves can traverse ramps faster than stairs, but I haven't tested this yet. --Peristarkawan 21:18, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

Logs and stone(probably more, not fully tested) can not be transported on stairs, limiting their usefulness.
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. So Logs can be moved through stairs. --Mizipzor 11:52, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
- Rocks and any variation thereof can also be moved on stairs. I've been using the top of my mountain as a gigantic rock stockpile.--Xazak 19:38, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Is there any way to destroy carved (not constructed) up-down stair? --Dorten 01:13, 11 January 2008 (EST)
