How do you use the rope?
I have been trying to figure it out for almost an hour now, what gives? Are they broken?

You shoot it at a wall or ceiling and use it to swing, abseil or climb up using the movement keys.

How do you shoot it, though? I've put it in my tool bar, left/right slots, nothing.

You have to have a climbing rope. Rope itself does nothing.

You have to craft it using a rope and an iron bar, you can't just use a plain rope.

Ahh, sorry, thought he was referring to the climbing rope.

If that's the case, why is there even a normal rope item? It's not required to craft a climbing rope.

Cause beta. The devs SAID the game would kind of be a mess this early

I know, I've been enjoying the beta immensely. Thanks for all the quick comments.

Like the recipe changed for bandages from needing cloth to make bandages to just needing raw plant fibres rope was probably used as a material to make it originally but because they decided they didn't want to make you have to cary a loom around with you to make expendable things they changed it to needing raw plant fibres rather then requiring you to use a loom to turn plant fibre into rope and then rope and iron into climbing rope.

Just a guess since I know bandages use to be made from cloth which was just plant fibre and a loom, but it got changed to the raw material rather then a crafted matterial, its still early beta so they may decide to going back to requiring you to craft a rope on the loom to then craft a climbing rope and so didn't remove the item just incase they want to do so... either that or they may change the rope item from what use to be used to craft into a way to decorate your buildings... either way currently there is no use for rope but their probably was in an earlier stage of alpha/beta or there might be use for it later in beta.
