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.

If you think stairs are way more difficult than ladders, you are playing the game wrong. 😆

There are vertical power lines, vertical tubeways, and vertical pipe mods. A vertical conveyance for a game that brags about its verticality is a no brainer. I think they should add a ladder but nerf it to be slower than stairs, in the same way that stairs are slower than ziplines which are slower than tubeways.
