Building stairs

[Swiftbear]

I for the life of me cannot get stairs to build from a foundation to the ground, yet I see all houses with this. I am missing something obvious or ??

All I know is I have been trying for hours and they will ONLY want to build going UP not down to the ground.

I have more success if I place a wall on the foundation (or even a roof) I want the stairs to snap to. They like to snap to the base of the wall for some reason. I have other building/survival games that act the same way for some reason.

you can using tricks like: Shift + ALT to rise the hight. Than build stairs and after your done, wait for the cooldown to move the whole building with the Z button to the ground. Because with the whole Building movement function, you can put textures into the ground

Ceiling tile works for stairs, was disappointed when I found out stairs or posts don't snap to foundations too.

stairs do snap to foundation, best way to do it is to have a wall blocking your view from inside the foundation piece, then go in to fly mode, look down and forward at the wall and the stairs should appear attaching to the foundation

You need to use first stairs, the large ones, those works fine for me

So update to this, nothing works except long stairs. The short stairs are either bugged or incredibly (borderline impossible to place) as I have not done it yet. But the long stairs? I plopped them down in 3 seconds.
