Zipline max length??

[EddyWithTheBacon]

How far can a zipline be placed? Anybody figured out the distance?

[Atayeu]

Yeah, when you aim the zip line gun the reticle will turn into a larger white dot when it can reach your target.

You are limited in the sense that Atayeu mentions; however, you are able to walk after placing the start of the zip line. You can walk somewhat far before the zip line “breaks.” From my experience, you’re still able to shoot the zip line (as far as you can normally) once you walk almost to the breaking point of line.

I haven’t played around with the mechanics long enough to know for certain the max length, yet you can cover impressive distance.

In my experience, the maximum zipline length is about 10 seconds 'sliding'. I have seen that people make much longer ziplines somehow.

its 150 meters

with a mod, can be unlimited, zip to the top of the mountain, make a mountain cabin up there and zip on the other side :)

Attach it where you want, then start walking toward where you want to go. While walking aim often at a tree to still see if you have a white dot. When it disappears you'll know that you can't walk past that point, or the line will break. If you already have a structure built at the beginning to attach the line to, you'll now know where you need to build the next.

Here's what I do to make a zipline of any length, assuming there are no obstacles in your way that will cause you to fall off the zipline.

I shoot a zipline into my starting point, then anchor the second end at an arbitrary location. Next I go to the place where I want the zipline to end, such as the top of the mountains, and shoot a second zipline at that destination location; as before, anchor the second zipline at an arbitrary location. Finally, I save the game and exit.

A quick edit of the most recent savegame file that's located in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\76561197970557145\SinglePlayer, where I put the savegame files in date order so I open the most recent save folder, will show a file inside named "SaveData.zip". Inside SaveData.zip you'll find a file entitled "ZipLineManagerSaveData.json". Use a text editor to open that file and find the two last zipline entries. Here's an example zipline file with two entries:

{"Version":"0.0.0","Data":{"ZipLineManager":"{\"Version\":\"0.0.0\",\"Ziplines\":[{\"_anchorAPosition\":{\"x\":-1226.90356,\"y\":119.882927,\"z\":-1.54327393},\"_anchorBPosition\":{\"x\":-977.924561,\"y\":272.286774,\"z\":-685.4439},\"_canBeDismantled\":true},{\"_anchorAPosition\":{\"x\":-712.682861,\"y\":113.957817,\"z\":1516.58728},\"_anchorBPosition\":{\"x\":-973.9291,\"y\":272.322174,\"z\":-685.3058},\"_canBeDismantled\":true}]}"}}

Copy the x-y-z coordinates for "_anchorAPosition" for the last zipline data set to the "_anchorBPosition" in the previous zipline data set. Save the file and put it back into the zip file, then exit.

Reload your game and you'll find that you now have a long zipline and the second zipline with the ending point; delete the second zipline and you're good-to-go.

Now you have a very long zipline when you reload the game.
