small cuboid brushes against each other with one higher than the other until they look like a stair :D ,add a rail 2 both sides and presto ,u got urself a well cooked stair.
there is also a plugin that makes stairs which is really cool. i thnk it was called bob plugins tools or somehting like that .try searching 4 it here.
or wait until some1 knows a link and posts it here

Oh, and one more thing: the height of each step can be a maximum of 16 units if you want to be able to walk ut the stairs. If its higher: you'll have to jump up the stairs :S

don't want to clap too loud on my own back, but u should go to the MOHAA recyclingbin and get 2-3 maps just to examine how basic things (like stairs) could be done 8-)

you should make your own stairs!

every basic staircase you make will teach you more about design, scale, and angles, so that later you can make bigger, better and more unique stairs!(among other things) Stairs are the most common, and first encountered examples of complex architecture, they can range from '30 second' simple stone block bunker stairs, to angled, beveled, multi-directional/landing structures.

but thats just my opinion =)

on the other hand, if you really really must have say a spiral staircase in one of your first maps, you'll problly need to use someone else's as they are far from easy to make =)

I admit it. I was too lazy to build those metal stair cases. I just pulled them out of that manvis tutorial for the water treatment factory. I also grabbed that section of air ducts, a ladder, and a printing press from Wacko's recycler. I had to seriously condense the printing press to fit in my room though. LOL

When I start a new map, I'll be more proactive about making my own prefabs for that stuff.

So thanks for the goodies, Wacko.
