I have a few cylinders with stairs cut out of them in the level I'm working on. The way I did it was to use wedges fanning out over the cross-section of a solid cylinder, I recently noticed something looked off about it though.

Does someone know some general tips / a tutorial for making perfect stairs that go around a cylinder/tower structure?

Do you mean you want to have the stairs line up with the edges of the cylinder?

Show us a wireframe views of entire staircase.
I normally would use a 3-sided cylinder for a step as opposed to a wedge. This way its shape is an isosceles triangle - not a right triangle. Rotate them by the same angle. Dromed prefers angles that are divisions by 2 of the right angle - 90, 45, 22.5 etc... Then if you use let's say 16 of them to form a full 360 degree cycle, make your cylinder/tower also 16 sided.

Add a Solid->Water cylinder over the whole thing.
Then add a Solid->Air cube around everything.
Then duplicate the Solid->Water cylinder and change it to Water->Solid.
