I've been playing with a custom hardcore realistic difficulty preset. Disabling the "F" teleport feature completely.
I haven't run into an issue yet, but i realize that there are various places where the only way to reach them is via such teleport.
So without that feature, you just can't get up there. For some of those locations, it makes sense that a given area would be off limits, keeping with the immersion and realism.
Yet other areas have a ladder leading to that area. And sometimes reaching such a location is necessary for gameplay.
I imagine, a ladder implementation could be as simple as making the whole ladder an interaction button.
Displaying "press 'F' to climb" when moused over. When a ladder is activated that way,
it would ignore the difficulty settings and teleport the player to a predetermined spot at the top of the ladder.
I haven't yet found many examples where a ladder would need to become functional.
The few i did run into, was on boxcars and tankers.
I'm assuming that the S282 and tender have some locations you can't jump onto.
(haven't tried to run any steam in the hardcore save yet)
Other than rolling stock, there are also stationary ladders in the world.
I don't know if those can be modded as well?
