Catwalk = useless?

[Matejrm]

I have a question regarding catwalks in this game. In order to build a bridge between 2 buildings or over a river catwalk seems cinda nice for it.
But the thing is it needs to be max 2 blocks away from foundations. So why not unlimit the use of catwalk, so we can build bridges to cross.
Now that would be awsome and the skill would actually make sense to get it. atm i see it as useless as it can be. So it's preety darn useless, hehe:)

Your thoughts?

I agree.

What's the point of using a catwalk when you can just use roof tiles to accomplish the same thing, and have a wider walkway.

The catwalk should be able to span at least 3x from each foundation.

[Zourin]

It's just decorative. There isn't much you can do with a catwalk that you can't do with a regular wood roof. Or a thatch roof.

[Mansen]

Catwalks seem pretty pointless except for their unique size and shape.

Ceilings have the same restrictions regarding reach, so you might as well make wider bridges with them.

I found this out trying to to build catwalks in caves to get up/down easier. Thought I could just bridge them together with two wood pillars but they won't even snap to it, has to be a foundation so its not very useful

catwalks look nice inside for crossing over a large room.

SOme areas where catwalks are more asteticaly pleasing....
Also kinda odd no one has mentioned it takes less to make a catwalk then a celing tile.

[DXDoug]

agree need more extension tile wise or useless. and just for look which dont look pretty. just make a cieling tile cause those actually look good.

In my local game I have a messhall building..it has pitched roof (using ramps) and has little attic type space. This space was converted to backup bunkhouse....had I used celing tiles to do this I would need several more parts to make it accesable..and a few more past that to make it functional....with the catwalks the area blends seemlessly in form and function with the mess hall....

Just because YOU dont see the value in them does not mean they are useless....maybe your lack of creativity is the issue, and the part itself.....just saying.

Yes, I find the OP's lack of creativity disturbing.

There's no real use for a windowed wall and hatch either. It's an aesthetic engram.

There needs to be bridge type blocks. Maybe something like a rope Bridge or something. Actually a rope Bridge would look awsome think of of the things you can link 2 sides of a valley together with a rope bridge where stuff can go under it and you don't have to put supports under it.

Disturbing indeed.

Until you need to shoot out of it, that is.

I regret getting the catwalk engram... Wish there was an engram reset...

Yeah. We created a large room in front of our base with a dino gate at the front.... We had on main base a window hatch.... A catwalk above the front gate and some noob walks in... We jump down and shut the gate running out while a sniper in the window shoots the dumb sod that walked in.

Uses for this stuff.. Hell yh!
