Lowering yourself onto the water

[Dosboy]

Anyone know what happens if you built a catwalk onto the water and then lowered yourself down via rope? Would you be stuck like I see some zombies sometimes?

You could climb the rope back up and walk on that one tile of water, though you would break a leg as if you would jump from 1 story, the character doesn't really climb the rope when going down into water.
If you carry a lot you can die from a 1 story fall as well.

I fell off a walkway onto water once. It is a death sentence.

Think of it like falling into a 1 story deep pit. You cannot move out of the pit, and you cannot climb out. You will eventually die from either the elements, or thirst/starvation.

Thanks much for the info... so much for building a really safe base on the water with no zombie access. ;)

I mean you can still do it, but you'd just have to build over the water and live on the second floor basically. I know PZ has no water physics whatsoever, it just serving as a barrier, but atleast it's quite realistic in the sense that you're not Jesus to be able to make a base *on* the water.

I've always wanted to live on the water.
