Additional Ladders Suggestion
It sure is great to see this in the workshop and was very much needed! What I would like to ask though is if more variants will be coming like a set of more modular ladders, perhaps retractable ones at different lengths? Fighters could benefit greatly from this, no more needing to jetpack up to get in or no need to have a platform nearby to jump onto a wing from. Maybe a remodel of the passageway with a variant once again having a built-in ladder?

Can't think of much else that Forge didn't already bring up, except maybe an animation that makes the astronaut look like it's climbing, legs forward at bout 45 degrees, arms held out, hands fisted with palms facing down.

Railings for freefall use only. To allow EVA etc without jetpack use. These could bend around corners etc and so allow for much more flexible tethered movement at the cost of only being usable where there is no gravity. Your character pulls himself along the railing hand over hand.

Well there are animations for climbing ladders in the game files, those could maybe be used?

A ladder that could drop down sort of piston style might be awesome as well.

Exactly, just more in a operation style similar to that of the retractable glass mods with varying lengths and the base block only taking up 1-2 space where its mounted.

Ladders contained in passages, would this mean the passage block would be fully contained or still three sided? It would be great to have fully enveloped sections, possibly with transparent covers.

Maybe make an Animation to where it really looks like he's climbing it?

i would just like a half ladder block so you can still get into your ship but you won't damage the ladder when you land because it won't be touching the ground

A retractable version will be very nice :D

Handrails (same degree of mounting, no movement while mounted) to provide an alternative to passenger seats. I'm thinking overhead rails, but vertical would work too.

- Retractable version like KSP
- Small Ship 1*3*1 version so you can extend ladders to lengths other than multiples of 5
- Combination of ladder and vertical door so you can build a hatch on top or the bottom of your craft you can climb out of (small ship version 3*3 with 1 height, large ship version normal ladder with door at the top or bottom end)

It seems that the ladders are based on a door with the open and close function. However, when you group them with doors the group looses the open/close option. Is there a way to make it so they work together in a group? For example one group with a ladder and a door in it and when I use a hot key to open/close it, both the ladder and the door open and close together.
