This will carve an upward stairway into a wall. Unlike a downward stairway, this cannot be designated on a floor and it must be a wall. Smoothed or engraved works fine. If no wall is present it can be built using the build interface (bCu).

Carving Upward Stairs

  1. Press d to open the designate menu.
  2. Press u to select "Upward Stairs".
  3. Move the cursor to a position on or near a wall and press enter.
  4. The spot you marked changes to a blinking green "+" indicating where the area you wish to start carving stairs.
  5. Move the cursor to any position, across the area you wish to carve upward stairs and then press enter again. This area must be a non-built wall. Any area of floor, construction will not be selected.
  6. The wall tiles in the area you defined should blink similar to mining but with a "<" pattern.
  7. Wait for a dwarf to do the job. You will need to designate/build a downward stairway for each upward stairway.
