Pretty unhappy with the stairs.

So, the stairs look nicer than ramps, but... If you had made them with a quarter turn instead of a half, they would have been a hundred times more useful. If you want or need to make levels that are an odd number of walls high, you can't use these without some seriously ugly workarounds.

So if your first floor is three walls high, you put a staircase that goes part of the way up, and then a ladder... Not exactly architectural genius unless you are a T Rex with a walnut sized brain.

My problem with the stairs is they are so clunky to go up and down. I often fall off them more than they have been useful. They are too narrow and too vertically compact. I tried them out a few times but have decided against using them.

If you put them in a well surrounded by walls, they are much easier to use. You can fall into the corners but it takes effort.

Maybe, but that severely limits your building designs if you have to build a walls around every staircase you make.

They should come with railings. I also agree on the 1/4 turn.

Was about to comment with this as well. If it had an optional railing it would be fine. And yeah a 1/4 turn would be better.

Devs are not bad, the game is really great, but they take some seriously dumb decisions sometimes.. This one is one of them


First of all, was that really hard to make a "left" and "right" staircase? Only have to flip the 3D Model...
Second, why a half turn ? Why not another version of 1/4 turn which is easier to step on ?


Actually they should have made this:

1/4 turn left staircase 1 wall high
1/4 turn right staircase 1 wall high
1 straight staircase 1 wall high


That would let us make almost all possible combinations of straight / left / right and odd number of walls wouldn't be a problem either..

Snapping two 1/4 staircases on eachother would have done the same thing they added right now, but it's easier to work with 1wall high, besides the straight one would let us choose how to make the turn

In addition they coul also add:
1/4 turn left staircase 2 walls high
1/4 turn right staircase 2 walls high


I am myself a programmer, not that good as i just come out of school, but please those are basic ideas that at least one of you should have think about..

Yeah there nice looking but i would really like just a regular straight narrow stairway. Too many turns and yeah I fall off alot. It would be nice with railings so we don't fall off. Also like a auto feature that zips you up or down would be nice but probably not really effective
