Zipline in Multiplayer Issue

[Witchthief]

I have a world with my daughter at the moment, and I have just collected thee Zip-R, and wanted to to set up ziplines everywhere to make it easier for her to get around. Unfortunately, it seems that she cannot return up the lines like I can. I am wondering if I need to escort her to where I got the Zip-R from and she will find hers too, or is it a bug?

return up the lines? is that even a thing? it's definitely not in real life lol.
maybe embrace that and make 2-lane ziplines both going up to down making a big x in the air :D

Yeah, I found a thing called a Zip-R behind one of the the assistant manager doors, that when used on a zipline I can go both directions, either slide down of have an aphid run me back up the cord. It's adorable. Just that my daughter does not have the same ability to do so.

Might be hitting an object when grappling on to the zipline which causes the player to drop right back down.

Nothing is obstructing the zipline - it's the one from the picnic table to thee sandpit. I can use the ZIP-R just fine both going up and back down the zipline, my daughter cannot use it to go back upwards. We have gone back to where I found the ZIP-R but there is nothing there for her to interact with.

Have her check her items (not her inventory but her collectibles) and make sure the zipr shows for her as well. If it doesn't then you have your answer.

Actually, it is. There are ascenders for zip lines. They're not unlike the cable lines used at a lot of ski resorts either. They're just generally not as fun as the ride down.

There is also a Zip Line Ascender in the game. It takes the form of a small tredmill with an aphid on it that runs. I always thought it would be amusing, if, on a particularly steep zip line descent, the little aphid might just hold on real tight and take a few trips around, maybe had a little halo of birdies from the experience, but that's me.

In a multiplayer game, if it's unlocked by one player, it should be unlocked for all players, and it's such a game-changer too. I love my 2-minute zip-line across the entire yard - it's a bio-break ride.

X-shaped zipline systems CAN be built with some patience, but unlocking the motorized zipline upgrade is an upgrade in both travel speed and building efficiency.

You can unlock them roughly 1/3 -1/2 through the story. After defeating a certain lab boss, a previously locked door inside the oak lab becomes accessible and the upgrade is in there.

OOH I did not know that at all haha. Sounds fun!
