Ladders through hole in floor

[hoodoo33]

I believe Devs already know there is an issue with going down a ladder through a hole in the floor. This issue is in both the alpha and beta versions of the game.
My experience has been maybe 1 time in 100 I'm able to climb down.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because I recently went to Lvl3 Marauder Base in Beta. If I remember correctly, the access to top floor is up a ladder through a hole in the floor. I had to jump over a railing to get back down after many attempts to use the ladder. Even just trying to drop through hole I would mount ladder then W would dismount forward, S would dismount backwards.

With evolving content that could include sections of bases accessed this way what happens if there isn't an alternative way out?

I will concede the possibility that I don't know how to use ladders in this game properly ;)
but I'm pretty sure I've seen others reporting this issue.

I have reported and spoke about this before and it is very irritating to deal with. I've come up with a solution while the Dev can get to it and fix.

What I do is place a ladder in the opening to get to the next level. I then place metal post so that I can place another ladder hole and then place the ladder to get up to the new level. Once the ladder is placed, I delete the ladder hole and the metal posts leaving the ladder sticking up by itself. Then when I want to go down the ladder, I walk into the ladder and I'm able to go down the ladder easily. Not pleasing to look at, but I rather have this way then trying for 30 secs trying to find the sweet spot to climb down the ladder. Hell, it is easier to just jump off my base into the water and then use my ladder to get to ground level.

I hope I've explained myself well and hope this and many other issues get fixed soon.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that in my base but it won't help in an enemy base if there isn't a way to jump down.

Was hoping a Dev would see my post as a reminder to fix this. ;-)
