[Lord Dakoth]

Okay, so here's the deal.
I'm trying to remove some stairs by way of the "Remove Constructions" order.

However, the dwarf always traps himself by descending the stairs, THEN removing them.
Any way I can do this without the dwarf doing a stupid and trapping himself?

[Grendus]

If you're trying to remove all the stairs on, say, the bottom level of your fortress then no, I don't think there is. If you want to block access from that level, just build a floor there, currently constructions are indestructible, nothing can break them.

...Except cave-ins.

[Untelligent]

Try surrounding the stair with walls, suspending the walls, then removing the stair. Then cancel the walls.


This doesn't work in every situation, but it works in most of them.

[XSI]

You can try to use water and magma to make a new obsidian block where the stair is, but that would probably be a bit overcomplicated for everyday use.
