Up/down stairway
Revision as of 13:52, 16 June 2008 by Tyranic-Moron (talk | contribs)
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
- Press d to open the designate menu.
- Press i to select "Up/Down Stairway".
- Move the cursor to a position on or near a wall and hit Enter.
- The spot you marked blinks
+indicating where the area you wish to start carving stairs. - 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.
- The wall tiles in the area you defined should blink similar to mining.
- Wait for a dwarf to do the job. You will need to designate/build a down stair on the z-level above and an up stair on the z-level below for each up/down stairway, or you can just use more up/down stairs.
