I'm gunna build this

[ricemastah]

That is A LOT of stairs! Luckily designating large amounts of constructions isn't as much of a pain in the ass anymore.

That's how I build a cistern, actually. I just scaffold the entire inside with stairs since the masons can stand on them to build the next level wall.

It doesn't turn out quite like that though, since the stairs are stacked vertically in DF and not offset each level.

Umm... I hope dwarfs can't trip down stairs.

Umm... I hope dwarfs can't trip down stairs.

They can dodge into midair.

This'd work really well if you have a cistern that you want to be able to drain to any level.

In reality, it's more a ramp-structure (just happns to be stepped ramps).  Of course, most of the visualisers that care about ramps would probably insist that:

Code: [Select]

#####
#^+^#
+++++
 v+vWould have the ramps angled  / and \ in their respective niches unless you do something like

Code: [Select]

#####
#+++#
#^+^#
+++++
  +
 v+v
(Which isn't quite what you want.)

Stairs are often kinked to > or < per level (viewed from side), on the visualisers as well, so that wouldn't look anything like right.
