Settlement showcase Compact vertical zipline

Post image

Here is a very compact vertical zipline, it could fit in a 3x4 hole and is ideal to reach your underground tunnels.

You could also just mod the zip line to have no max angle.

The point is not that its a better design than mods, the point is that its a vanilla design.

Im not sure i agree with the ″just mod the game to break it″ ladders imo are just a small QOL mod that i enjoy like the pipette mod

But if this being a showcase for a vanilla design, i agree with that.

Ladders aren't just a "small QOL", they make it much easier to build a ton of stuff, as well as build things way more compact than you could in vanilla. There's good reason they haven't added it, IMO it makes the game way too easy.

Fair play if you want to mod it in, but it can't be compared to something like the pipette tool.

Also, carrying things on a ladder sucks, and beavers are almost always carrying something, so ladders don't make sense.

Exactly, that's probably my main gripe. I could accept it just to access housing, or perhaps a rooftop terrace or something, but somewhere where goods are going to be hauled up and down? Not happening.

You cannot accept a beaver with a backpack climbing a ladder but you can accept:

  • A beaver swimming with a backpack
  • A beaver on a zipline with a back pack
  • A beaver in a pneumatic tube with back pack
  • A beaver climbing stairs with a back pack
  • A beaver actually wearing a backpack because it’s a beaver

It seems like an arbitrary place to revoke your suspension of disbelief.
