v0.31:Stairs
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Stairs allow creatures to travel across z-levels. They can be dug out or constructed. They need to be connected to other stairs of 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. Wagons can't travel across stairs - you need ramps for those to be able to reach your Template:L.
Stairs do not block creature nor fluid movement. Falling creatures ignore stairs and may get seriously hurt if the real ground is several z-levels below them. Template:Les can stop both falling creatures and liquid. They can also be locked to keep those pesky Template:Ls from interrupting everything your dwarves could possibly do.
Down stairs reveal a tile directly beneath them. If it's Template:L or Template:L, the designation on this tile will be removed.
As all Template:Ls, stairs can only be removed by dwarves (ordered to do so - never on their own initiative) or Template:Ls. Dug out stairs can melt, if made from Template:L, but are otherwise just as resistant to damage.
Stairs are fully capable of holding weight of anything above them. They are not as resistant to cave-ins as full walls (won't stop falling weight), though.
