Stackable stairs
I think we should be able to build stairs on top of one another. The stairs on top would connect to the bottom ones with pillars just like platforms.
The way it is now, you have to place the stairs in a different place every time you go up a floor, which makes it hard to have tidy buildings.

beaverbroI second this, its hard to make tall structures if you cant build a proper staircase by stacking stairs on top of each other

Björn Björkman BäckströmAt the moment, you need to place a double platform to be able to put a new stair on it. However, I do like the idea of tidier stairs.

BaerOr maybe a corner stair, a 3 block stair (2×2) where the top is a platform that can be connected to. (the elevation is divided over the 2 blocks, but has the 90 degree bend in it)

Now a big stair has a minimum of 3×2 blocks footprint.
a corner stair would make that 2×2
would also work very good on elevating while snaking buildings -

Chameleon777I don't think a single tile staircase going straight up would be graphically appealing or to scale. But some kind of stackable elevating system should exist IMHO.

Arnold MergedWhen building a (large) stairwell, it would be nice if the stairs can placed directly above each other.

WhiteRooI think a 1 by 1 by 1 solid Stairwell block would work great. They could stack on top of each other, and a beaver entering such structure could exit through any door in the same stack. Would probably save on pathfinding as well. Alternatively it could be a ladder block, but that would need ladder climbing animation.

It could be interesting if only beavers that are not carrying stuff could use it. -

MikaelA spiral staircase could be a solution :)

TraktorfischI think stackable stairs and curve stairs combined are a good idea. It's hard to carry goods on ladders (as has been suggested on a different feature vote here), but stackable stairs in straight, and 90° left and right turn, would still allow lots of freedom with building. Maybe make them "expensive" by requiring metal or enhanced planks.

DelugeThat would leave very little headroom for the beavers when walking up and down the stairs. I don't think that this is really necessary, it is already very accommodating to have a double platform fit neatly down over a stair case.
All this change really means is that you can place your new stair one tile further forward. In your attached picture you can place the staircase on the yet to be built platform that the bottom of the red lines touch. You would have to get up from that level anyway, so you are only saving one cube of space in your version of stair-stacking. -

Mark TaylorI commented about this same thing in a different thread just yesterday (the one about what can be placed under platforms), but this thread is way more appropriate, so I may as well post the image made to demonstrate how that might look (a specific stair-piece made to go over an already existing stairs).

SkiraThis would be great to have. In the end you can usually fit a staircase somewhere, but directly stacking them would improve the looks of a lot of buildings. This could be its own item at a higher cost, after all it's combining the staircase with the platform it would otherwise be placed upon.
I love how this game let's you stack buildings to create bigger structures and this would be a welcome addition to enhance that even further. -

DraythixAdditional stair options would be greatly appreciated. While I do have a lot of fun weaving routes through my unplanned vertical settlements, the results could be best described as labyrinthine. (see horrifying attachment)
Stackable stairs would be a great start, but a curved stair block that goes up a level and turns 90 degrees at the same time would also save a huge amount of space in vertical builds :) -

CarpeComputerI don't agree. It would take the challenge of building away. Now you need to plan your builds and if you had all these fancy infinite one tile stairs, all this challenge would be taken away. One thing that would be cool, though, would be the ability to have late game powered elevators.

DigitaldogAn alternative would to add ladders. They would stack on top of each other and allow for an exit to either side at every level

MarieI really like to play with the mod for curl stairs and ladder, even if ladder is a little cheating, but "temporary cheap ladder" like scaffolding for building purpose more than for path purpose would be great too

MelIt would be really helpful to have a turning staircase - a stair that goes up one block and turns 90 degrees.
It would also be very useful to be able to build a fire escape style staircase to go up many levels in a compact way. -

Y'shtolaA 1x1 spiral staircase with landing attach points at each "level" would work well, I think. To connect to any doorway/rooftop/etc that touches it there.

Dave SThe current stair well possiblity doesn't have a common "exit/entry" location (see pic posted by Mel). Right now the access is forced to shift from side to side and this forces even more wasted space to link up to walkways that wouldn't need to be there in "the real world". Having stackable stairs would allow something close to Mel's pic.
I support the idea of spiral stair as mentioned by Y'shtola. Ladders I would like to see added to the game but not as a solution to housing access as it seems primitive and a modern Beaver would expect dignified stairs or ramps.
