Ladders!?

There are no screwdrivers in the recipe. Why does the wooden ladder need screws? Nails and screws should serve a similar function. If a hammer and nails are used, screws should not be necessary.

if you're having an issue when you get to the top of the ladder, just hold whatever your vault key is to climb over the invisible wall, i can't guarantee it'll work but it did for me.

Astratic we same trouble

I think I discovered a half-bug. Some buildings (ie the map itself being the issue) have a low wall at the top of the ladder- although not being readily visible due to rounding out the top fence structures, there is something you can destroy at the top of the ladder (accessed the roof via stairs). Once destroyed, I was able to use the ladder from top and bottom. I believe that this is similar to Manwich's issue, and is a oversight built into the map (as sheet rope starts from the low fence). Found this out at Riverside's post office.

i.e. Some buildings in the map have an "invisible" short wall at the top of ladders that prevent climbing onto flat roof. Perhaps remedy by somehow allowing a short wall phase through/fence jump at the top of the ladders?

Still works for me. Just not sheet ropes which is fine for me. I use collapsible ladders with this. Needs an update though still.
Manwich Jul 18 @ 9:53am 
Pretty much none of the ladders are working for me. Muldraugh warehouses for example (B42)

Can only get onto ladder from the ground, and get off the ladder at the ground.

But cannot do anything at the top of the ladder (can't get on or get off)

Currently bugged with sheet ropes in b42.10.0. As wel, exactly same issue with Entrum.

Just fyi some maps dont work properly. Probably the minority but they exist nevertheless.
Banana Phone Jul 2 @ 6:45pm 
Just want to say that I'm on 42.10 and I use this still whether it bugs sheet ropes or not. I don't even use sheet ropes though with this mod and collapsible ladders combined, there's no need unless I need a quick escape from somewhere other than my base. But I'm pretty sure that still works. I havn't experienced any problems climbing any ladders like some others have reported except for certain mod maps with their own ladders. But about half of the map mods I have with ladders do work. I assumed the ones that don't work are just textures rather than functional ladders. If anyone has trouble climbing down, I hold down the interact button rather than a single press and it works. Thanks for the mod!

Currently bugged with sheet ropes in b42.9.0. Sometimes replaces the sheet rope climbing animation with the ladder one, blocks climbing up if there is a window with barricades in front of it, creates an invisible short fence in front of doors and also blocks climbing up

For some reason, when this is on, climbing a sheet rope up the 2nd floor (south-west facing ones) of echo creeks diner just doesn't work.

It's probably because there's a roof overhang (which someone below mentioned) however this comes with the building and all the other windows also have the roof overhang (yes even the bathroom and bedroom one).

Trust me to pick the 1 new building that has only roof overhanging windows XD

Iron ladders (School building roof for example) don't seem to be climbable by using the interaction button.

Same issue as nullvariable.

north facing ladders work fine for up/down, but west facing ladders are broken (B42.8.1). My character wants to walk around and try to vault through a wall etc from the north when trying to go down west facing ladders
SilverWolf May 24 @ 11:36pm 
Is it just me, or does this mod only support upward climbing and not downward?
(OP)Fellatio Man May 17 @ 12:24pm 
Turns out it just wasn't enabled for some reason. Whatever lol, it works fine now
(OP)Fellatio Man May 16 @ 11:41pm 
I can slide down fire station poles with this, right? I can't quite find the spot where activating it does anything
Dreacon May 16 @ 1:32pm 
*EDIT: So after some testing, it seems that if there is a roof overhang above the spot where the ladder goes, you are blocked from being able to use the ladder. Looks like it is working now as long as I make sure there is no roof overhang above it and it will not work with windows. Would love it there was a way to add the functionality so the mod would work with windows.
Dreacon May 16 @ 1:23pm 
I was wondering if these ladders aren't meant to work on windows on the second floor of a building? Thinking back to when I used them before, it was also to access the floor and not the window..??
Dreacon May 15 @ 7:55pm 
I just built and placed a steel ladder, but I am not able to use it. I am still playing in build 41.78 while I wait for some other mods to update to build 42. Used to work prior to build 42. Did updating it to build 42 break it for build 41?

super useful
MoeTHM May 12 @ 6:08pm 
Just an FYI, could be I couldn't find the right mod order, or some conflicting mod issue. However, this mod was messing up my climbing animations for sheet rope, and wouldn't let me climb up sheet rope.

Climbing up into Billboards via that ladder when?
irondrgnfly May 8 @ 3:03pm 
Oh man, 6 iron bars? I'm never going to be able to make a steel ladder

@👾✨

Is it needed in B42 ?
Grateful Death May 6 @ 2:21am 
Does this mod work in build 42?

Hello again!
Climbing ladders causes muscle strain - a bit too much to be honest.
I know you've used the sheet climbing mechanics, but could you tone down the muscle strain a bit? Or give us some options to modify it?
Climbing a ladder is way more convenient than using a sheet rope so going up one time should not leave me with sore arms ;)

Thanks!

Hi there!
I wanted to craft a steel ladder and saw that the reciepe requires iron pipes/bars instead of steel material (bars/rods) - I guess because of b42 iron/steel split.

Could you please update the recipes? Thanks!
ChipR Apr 16 @ 5:27am 
Great mod, just hope it plays a different animation when you climb down
Desro Apr 12 @ 3:20pm 
can't climb down ladders by holding E, When I right click to get context menu i see climb down rope but it starts "timed" process bar then instantly cancels it.

Thaz: You can simply use the pickup tool, no need to destroy anything.
Tarrax Ironwolf Apr 12 @ 12:09am 
@Thaz If you don't have it, Rebalanced Prop Moving mod allows you to move object without destroying them. I haven't tried it with ladders in B42, but I remember doing it in B41.
Thaz Apr 11 @ 9:19pm 
How do I remove a ladder that I created? I already have the sledgehammer but I can't find an option to destroy the ladder. I built it wrong.
Tarrax Ironwolf Apr 10 @ 5:56pm 
Unless the climbing feature in the game is glitched since the latest update, you should be able to climb up and down without any issues.
ethriel Apr 10 @ 5:21pm 
Can you climb down ladders?
> Downloaded mod > climbed ladder > stuck > fell to my death
Tarrax Ironwolf Apr 5 @ 6:16am 
It all depends on whether or not you have access to unknown recipes. I know in sandbox mode you can choose to see recipes you haven't discovered yet. Otherwise it would be under the build menu; metalworking for the metal ladder and carpentry for wooden ladders.
BrianWeWHicks(SweetReturn) Apr 4 @ 8:53pm 
oof
Gumma Apr 4 @ 7:50pm 
i downloaded it and i can't find it in any of the crafting menu's even typing in ladder and still can't find it

Can we build a ladder with 2nd floor in b42 ?
optprime.cpu Mar 24 @ 10:45am 
Rejoice!!! seems fixed with 42.6
jefflee357 Mar 20 @ 4:48pm 
Just a heads up:

I found a ladder indoors, apparently leading to an attic from the second floor of a house. (The cultist house in the compound on the north side of the lake that's south of Echo Creek.) Tried to climb it, screen blacked out and the game crashed. It was the first ladder I've seen on a building interior, so maybe that caused the issue?
Tarrax Ironwolf Mar 19 @ 3:08pm 
The issues you are having is because the PZ devs haven't fixed the climbing feature in the game yet.
Kafir from Catharsis Mar 19 @ 12:58pm 
why do i keep falling off halfway?
bboy_damo Mar 19 @ 1:26am 
I climbed the ladder on the grocery store roof in West Point, but couldn't climb back down. Can you not climb down ladders?
Ko4u Mar 17 @ 2:14pm 
I can't climb the ladder in the house in the forest. Does the mod not work everywhere?
Mister X Mar 15 @ 5:51pm 
IM STUCK ON A ROOFTOOP
Tarrax Ironwolf Mar 15 @ 8:27am 
@V3ndetta If you check at the very top under the mod image it will show you when the mod was last updated.
V3ndetta Mar 15 @ 2:36am 
So, is it fixed ? You didn't confirmed bro
co`  [author] Mar 14 @ 4:38pm 
@BOSS: I'm not sure I understand where your going with that. My mod shouldn't have any impact on stairs and I have no idea what is the Build Zero To Hero ^^'
