There is no such designation, unfortunately, and the designation you used only removes up stairs an ramps.

You'll have to go to b-c and build some up stairs on the spot.

As far as I'm aware, down stairs are an alternate floor type, not an independently standing construction like up stairs are. Realisticly, they're just a hole in the floor where stairs from the lower level would go, meaning that when you removed the up stairs, you're still left with the hole formed by the down stairs. It wouldn't make sense to be able to simply remove those stairs, since there's still a chunk missing from the floor.

Does constructing a new floor over the down stairs work, or is that blocked out?

If you construct a floor over the stairs it'll act like a regular floor tile. However, if you want to build up stairs on it you'd need to remove the floor first and then construct a upstair on it, which I think blocks the down stair from working.

This is not really a bug.

Yay thanks everybody. I belive... i got it.

Checked same question w ramps and seem these function like same idea. Ramp up is a item in the tile, while ramp down exists in the z-1 slot.

Corew, if you're satisfied with everyone's explanations, I'll go ahead and resolve this. I'd recommend you make a forum suggestion for a "remove down stairs" feature, though, if you'd still like it.
