Stairs as a path option?

[Moonfox]

Can we please have stairs implemented in the path tool? We could have a toggle box to select ramp or stairs to be placed on an elevated path. I don’t think this exists in game yet, I keep seeing people build staircases piece by piece and it seems so tedious. Cheers!

The people making stairs piece by piece are simply building custom staircases, and usually they're just for show. You can create stairs using the pathing tool by dragging the path sharply up or down.

Will the guests use custom made stairways at all? I know my animals will use them but it’s only like 3-5 stairs tho. Never thought of trying for guests as the raised path looks good enough to me.

It depends. If you overlay an actual staircase with a custom one then it looks like the guests are using it, but if there's no path underneath then they won't. Guests are programmed to literally never stray from the paths (they won't use floor pieces either unless you stick a path under them).

I see, makes sense. Maybe I can make a custom viewing area or something.

Oh! I didn’t know you could do that. That answers my question then.
