Standalone stairs on ground floor. external stairs.

[Xearan 4]

Edit for quick post:

While standalone staircases on floors other than ground are looking ok. ground floor staircases are hindered by the wallplans.
 

Solution:
Please, let us build a standalone staircase, on ground floor, as a special case of "floor" without the need of building walls.
the tile will be part of the building. Name the structure "external staircase", and once built, remove external wall plans aka consider the tile built. as a special case for ground floor. all other floors work as should.
then we could have external staircases.
from wiki:(this could be groundfloor)


it will make designs so much better. and beautifull. and will give meaning to standalone staircase.

Or you can make a bridge.

Or you can make a bridge.

it's true, a bridge can work, but due to max slope, you need to use up more tiles. standalone stairs use 2 tiles to reach 3rd, while bridge uses 3 and is more bulky/different design. way more costs, and finally new players can't build them.

True, it takes 10 carpentry skill to plan such a bridge in wood.

i may or may not see irony there, but planning such a bridge needs a dioptra and a range pole, which a new player can not obtain easily. But that's not the point.

having an external 1tile staircase, you can place in any side of any building, in any combinations you want, and bypasses the 2x2 house restriction in which you need to take stairs from outside of the building if you want to go to the second floor.

it really can't compare and plus the standalone staircase is already modeled and perfect for that.
