Strategic Staircase Use In Airport Ceo: A Comprehensive Guide

Stairs are a great addition to the *Airport CEO* game, but they can be tricky to use. In this guide, we will explain how to build stairs, the issues that can arise when deleting them, and how to fix these problems.

Stairs build up one floor from where you place them

To build stairs, you must be trying to build them on the lower of the two floors you want to connect. When deleted, pathfinding goes out the window. Sprites go up the stairs, and then seem to exist on two planes at once. Ground level is rendered, but all actions are of those of the other floor. This is a bug that can be reported in-game by clicking the escape button in the top right.

To fix the issue, save and reload the game. You may need to do this a few times. Pathfinding is a bit broken in the experimental version of the game. Both workers and pax randomly can't find the way, even though 1000 others have.

Despite these issues, the small stairs are a great addition to the game.

Make sure the zones are the same on both floors

When building stairs in Airport CEO, it's important to make sure that the zones on both floors are the same. Stairs in the game build up one floor from where you place them, so you need to ensure that there is nothing on either floor at the location where you want to place the stairs. This means that the zones on both floors should be clear of any objects or obstructions.

To do this, start by selecting the floor where you want to place the stairs. Make sure that the zone on this floor is clear of any objects or furniture. Then, move up one floor and check that the zone on this floor is also clear. Both zones should be free of any items or structures that might interfere with the placement of the stairs.

It's also important to note that the stairs in Airport CEO seem to be permanent once placed. Some players have reported issues with pathfinding when deleting stairs, with sprites existing on two planes at once and actions being performed on the other floor. To avoid these issues, it's best to make sure that the zones are clear and there are no obstructions before placing the stairs.

If you encounter problems with pathfinding or sprites after placing the stairs, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that there are no other objects or structures blocking the path. If there are no obstructions, try saving and reloading the game. This has been reported to fix the issue in some cases, although you may need to do this multiple times.

By following these steps and ensuring that the zones on both floors are clear and identical, you can successfully place stairs in Airport CEO and provide a smooth path for passengers and workers to navigate between floors.
