The Wooden Stairs are a plank staircase that reaches a higher floor or a roof. They open up new storeys in a custom building or a way onto an existing roof.
They belong to Carpentry and come in a single version. The in-game tooltip says they go up, they go down, and zombies do too. They ask for Carpentry level 6, later than the Log Stairs. They use planks and nails in place of logs and bindings. A classic defence uses them to reach an upper floor, then removes them. A Sheet Rope then becomes the only way up. The Metal Stairs are the welded version.
How to Build Wooden Stairs
The recipe is known from the start. It asks for Carpentry level 6 and gives 60 Carpentry XP.
It takes thirteen Plank and eight Nails. A hammer drives the nails and comes back after the build.
Once built, the stairs have 150 health. Each point of the builder's skill adds 50 more.
Planks come from sawing logs or taking apart wooden furniture. Nails are often found with hammers and other tools.
The Wooden Stairs recipe builds the Wooden Stairs. It needs Carpentry level 6. Building it gives 60 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Wooden Stairs
Each staircase is three stair tiles long and one tile wide. A single Wood Floor tile is placed at the top when it is finished. The whole set covers four tiles in a line.
Stairs face north or west. The top and bottom ends must stay clear of walls and fences. The sides can sit against a wall.
Two staircases need at least one floor tile between them. Plan multi-level buildings with this in mind.
Stairs are built and destroyed as one unit. A sledgehammer is the way to remove them.
The space shown under the stairs is solid. Survivors walk around it, not under it.
Notes
- The tooltip says zombies can use them too.
- A Wood Floor tile appears at the top when built.
- A sledgehammer removes them.
- Climb up, attach a Sheet Rope, then destroy the stairs for a safe upper floor.
- A floor joined to the top tile keeps it in place when the stairs go; clear the tiles around it first.
