Ladders!?

Currently bugged with sheet ropes in b42.9.0. Sometimes replaces the sheet rope climbing animation with the ladder one, blocks climbing up if there is a window with barricades in front of it, creates an invisible short fence in front of doors and also blocks climbing up

For some reason, when this is on, climbing a sheet rope up the 2nd floor (south-west facing ones) of echo creeks diner just doesn't work.

It's probably because there's a roof overhang (which someone below mentioned) however this comes with the building and all the other windows also have the roof overhang (yes even the bathroom and bedroom one).

Trust me to pick the 1 new building that has only roof overhanging windows XD

Iron ladders (School building roof for example) don't seem to be climbable by using the interaction button.

Same issue as nullvariable.

north facing ladders work fine for up/down, but west facing ladders are broken (B42.8.1). My character wants to walk around and try to vault through a wall etc from the north when trying to go down west facing ladders

Is it just me, or does this mod only support upward climbing and not downward?

Turns out it just wasn't enabled for some reason. Whatever lol, it works fine now

I can slide down fire station poles with this, right? I can't quite find the spot where activating it does anything
Dreacon 16 May @ 1:32pm 
*EDIT: So after some testing, it seems that if there is a roof overhang above the spot where the ladder goes, you are blocked from being able to use the ladder. Looks like it is working now as long as I make sure there is no roof overhang above it and it will not work with windows. Would love it there was a way to add the functionality so the mod would work with windows.
Dreacon 16 May @ 1:23pm 
I was wondering if these ladders aren't meant to work on windows on the second floor of a building? Thinking back to when I used them before, it was also to access the floor and not the window..??

I just built and placed a steel ladder, but I am not able to use it. I am still playing in build 41.78 while I wait for some other mods to update to build 42. Used to work prior to build 42. Did updating it to build 42 break it for build 41?

super useful
MoeTHM 12 May @ 6:08pm 
Just an FYI, could be I couldn't find the right mod order, or some conflicting mod issue. However, this mod was messing up my climbing animations for sheet rope, and wouldn't let me climb up sheet rope.

Climbing up into Billboards via that ladder when?
irondrgnfly 8 May @ 3:03pm 
Oh man, 6 iron bars? I'm never going to be able to make a steel ladder

@👾✨

Is it needed in B42 ?
Greatful Death 6 May @ 2:21am 
Does this mod work in build 42?

Hello again!
Climbing ladders causes muscle strain - a bit too much to be honest.
I know you've used the sheet climbing mechanics, but could you tone down the muscle strain a bit? Or give us some options to modify it?
Climbing a ladder is way more convenient than using a sheet rope so going up one time should not leave me with sore arms ;)

Thanks!

Hi there!
I wanted to craft a steel ladder and saw that the reciepe requires iron pipes/bars instead of steel material (bars/rods) - I guess because of b42 iron/steel split.

Could you please update the recipes? Thanks!
ChipR 16 Apr @ 5:27am 
Great mod, just hope it plays a different animation when you climb down
Desro 12 Apr @ 3:20pm 
can't climb down ladders by holding E, When I right click to get context menu i see climb down rope but it starts "timed" process bar then instantly cancels it.

Thaz: You can simply use the pickup tool, no need to destroy anything.
Tarrax Ironwolf 12 Apr @ 12:09am 
@Thaz If you don't have it, Rebalanced Prop Moving mod allows you to move object without destroying them. I haven't tried it with ladders in B42, but I remember doing it in B41.
Thaz 11 Apr @ 9:19pm 
How do I remove a ladder that I created? I already have the sledgehammer but I can't find an option to destroy the ladder. I built it wrong.
Tarrax Ironwolf 10 Apr @ 5:56pm 
Unless the climbing feature in the game is glitched since the latest update, you should be able to climb up and down without any issues.
Jun Vahlok 10 Apr @ 5:21pm 
Can you climb down ladders?
> Downloaded mod > climbed ladder > stuck > fell to my death
Tarrax Ironwolf 5 Apr @ 6:16am 
It all depends on whether or not you have access to unknown recipes. I know in sandbox mode you can choose to see recipes you haven't discovered yet. Otherwise it would be under the build menu; metalworking for the metal ladder and carpentry for wooden ladders.
BrianWeWHicks 4 Apr @ 8:53pm 
oof
Gumma 4 Apr @ 7:50pm 
i downloaded it and i can't find it in any of the crafting menu's even typing in ladder and still can't find it
losesouls 30 Mar @ 8:25am 
Can we build a ladder with 2nd floor in b42 ?
optprime.cpu 24 Mar @ 10:45am 
Rejoice!!! seems fixed with 42.6
jefflee357 20 Mar @ 4:48pm 
Just a heads up:

I found a ladder indoors, apparently leading to an attic from the second floor of a house. (The cultist house in the compound on the north side of the lake that's south of Echo Creek.) Tried to climb it, screen blacked out and the game crashed. It was the first ladder I've seen on a building interior, so maybe that caused the issue?
Tarrax Ironwolf 19 Mar @ 3:08pm 
The issues you are having is because the PZ devs haven't fixed the climbing feature in the game yet.
Kafir from Catharsis 19 Mar @ 12:58pm 
why do i keep falling off halfway?
bboy_damo 19 Mar @ 1:26am 
I climbed the ladder on the grocery store roof in West Point, but couldn't climb back down. Can you not climb down ladders?
Ko4u 17 Mar @ 2:14pm 
I can't climb the ladder in the house in the forest. Does the mod not work everywhere?
Mister X 15 Mar @ 5:51pm 
IM STUCK ON A ROOFTOOP
Tarrax Ironwolf 15 Mar @ 8:27am 
@V3ndetta If you check at the very top under the mod image it will show you when the mod was last updated.
V3ndetta 15 Mar @ 2:36am 
So, is it fixed ? You didn't confirmed bro
co`  [author] 14 Mar @ 4:38pm 
@BOSS: I'm not sure I understand where your going with that. My mod shouldn't have any impact on stairs and I have no idea what is the Build Zero To Hero ^^'
BOSS 14 Mar @ 6:34am 
Unfortunately, it is not possible to climb stairs with the Build Zero To Hero
Bananaut 11 Mar @ 7:16am 
fixed
NERGAL 11 Mar @ 12:45am 
@Tarrax Ironwolf I know, I'm just saying that the creator would know that it's not just one player who has this problem.
co`  [author] 10 Mar @ 6:34pm 
@Tarrax Ironwolf: thx ;)
Scary planet destroyer 10 Mar @ 5:37pm 
I hope PZ devs fix the crashing soon. I was trying to loot the muldraugh police station, messed up big time and ended up having a sprinter horde chasing me. My only escape was a ladder but game crashed. I really want to continue that save.
Tarrax Ironwolf 10 Mar @ 4:24pm 
@NERGAL if you'd taken the time to at least read the posts below on page one you would of seen that co` acknowledged this issue and is waiting for the PZ devs to fix the issue on their end first so they can update the mod to work again.
NERGAL 10 Mar @ 11:14am 
the game crashes when I want to climb the ladder
Citizen Q 9 Mar @ 11:54am 
Good that they know and are working on it. Hopefully doesn't take too long. Got one save that I cant get into my base without teleporting now, and the other save where I cant build rain collectors on the roof and the water just shut off.

Hi all, good news! 🎉 The Indie Stone has acknowledged the bug that causes a crash when climbing sheet ropes, even in vanilla:
https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/81537-4241-rev27153-crash-when-you-try-to-climb-up-a-sheet-rope/

In the meantime, please hold tight, a fix should be coming soon! I'm pretty sure it will also resolve the issue when climbing ladders 🤞😊
