This will carve an up/down stair into a wall, which acts like both an upward stairway and a downward stairway on the same tile. Unlike a downward stairway, this cannot be designated on a floor. If no wall is present it can be built using the build interface (bCx).

Carving up/down stairs

  1. Press d to open the designate menu.
  2. Press i to select "Up/Down Stairway".
  3. Move the cursor to a position on or near a wall and hit Enter.
  4. The spot you marked blinks + indicating where the area you wish to start carving stairs.
  5. Move the cursor to any position across the area you wish to carve up/down stairs and then press Enter again. This area must be a non-built wall. Any area of floor or construction will not be selected. Usually, this is just a single tile.
  6. The wall tiles in the area you defined should blink similar to mining.
  7. Wait for a dwarf to do the job. You will need to designate/build a down stair above and an up stair below for each up/down stairway.
