Zipline rope length
Addition of ziplines is so awesome! But, when building one, maximum rope length is 30 units. I think it's reasonable enough to increase that number to be able to scale a larger area at once. The rope part is procedural, so why not have that possibility?
Like from the big tree peninsula to the far end of the boat beach, but the maximum is far up to the closer end of the beach.

Are you sure its only 30 units. I could swear my long one was over 40 ropes.

I'm sure. Everything beyond that length was a red ghost.

EDIT: I;m referring to the Standing zipline.

please, please make the length unlimited. we have built a huge tower and our aim is to travel to the snow mountains by zipline. therefore we need space - argh, length!

Yes, I agree. I wish they would make the length for the ziplines unlimited in the next update.

Initially zip lines were infinite length. Our map has several that were about 64 in length. However there was an update that limited the length.
Also , initially you could put up a zip line even if a tree was in the way. When you tried to slide down it, you would hit the tree. An update also changed this to require a line of sight be cleared. I prefer the initial way and just cutting down trees that i hit along the way.

I too have built many towers that are not able to be used.
The shortness of the zip lines defeats the purpose of having a zip line now.


(side note: would be nice to not have flashlight/lighter turn off when grabbing carts or logs)
