The same staircase with columns added to the base section, new tile-set for the floors, and the upper floor showing the view to ground. Remember with altered stairs the amount of tiles unable to be built on are going to take up larger floor area on the floor above than a regular staircase.

A Spiral Staircase

1. Decide where you want your stairs, and allow at least two tiles to the western edge before constructing. Spiral stairs may go anywhere as long as the west edge has two tiles free and the east edge one. Place teleporters as shown.

26. Your staircase is now ‘technically’ complete.

27. Tidy up by replacing the floor tiles with your chosen tile.

28. So you don’t ‘fall’ off your stairs, add a ‘back’ wall, a half side wall, and corner pieces at the front and center, as shown.

29. On the floor above, place flooring and remove the illegal tiles above stairs, ensure your floor looks like the picture, as while some tiles are legal you need them removed so that a person climbing the staircase has headroom.

30. Using circle of transparency, place gozas and raise them until the edge of the goza is clear and you can walk up the staircase.

31. Added modification (optional) is to place walls around the stairwell and an arch.

32. Added modification, if you place a goza in the center and lift you may place plants, lights, single tile deeds, such as the suit of armor shown, or other decorations as you like.

33. Using a half wall around allows you to put a ‘row’ of plants which may look nice. In this case there is one rose of trinsic, as the test center didn’t have 3 dark blue campions to use!

Don’t forget to use some type of wall above to stop you falling down the hole!
