@lightnsfw thanks I’ll give that a more thorough look. I’ve been following it but it seems to conflict with the other info I have seen online. For example I am near my wagon, click m, then t, select the tile for a stair, hit e to go down a level, select that tile and then nothing. I built one randomly this way on a cliff but no idea how I did it and it goes no where. I was able to construct a few stairs with the construction menu and a similar workflow but those don’t seem usable either.
Ok so assuming you are in the steam version -
to mine a stairwell you need to press m, t then select the square and move up or down however many layers you want to go and then click again, that will designate those blocks to be cut into stairs (it will show the stairs but they will not actually be stairs there until a dwarf does the mining). This will designate a down stair at the top layer you select and an up stair at the bottom with up/down stairs in between. you need to have a dwarf assigned to mining to do this.
You can build them in the construction menu as well but that requires you to have already mined out the area you are building in so it takes longer.
If the above doesn't work post a screen shot of what yours looks like.
