I have noticed that some of the Pois in the base game have places where that if you fall into them it is very hard to get up without blocks or breaking block also it would be a massive quality of life thing for mining. I think that is should be pretty heavy and maybe you have to make them at a work bench or they have low block HP.
#add a pre built Ladder

You are asking them to add nerd poling back into the game, and it feels like they intentionally removed it

I admit, ladders not being their own crafted item is frustrating - outside of nerd poling, too. It's just generally frustrating not to be able to craft ladders as easily in mines I'm building, for example

But it is quite easy. Put your ladder using construction tool, take your mallet, done.

for POI , use furnitures (chairs for exemple)
into a mine , i always build a littre bunker around the deposit itself before mining , it requires something like 400 wood and some nails or pitch , choose your prefered at early game , at end game i always use about 1000 Concrete to build a very stronghold around a deposite and an iron door & hatch at the entrance.
I really like the way that you can't just hop onto 2 blocks high with prebuilded structure and keep away all zombs by upgrading only the 2nd below you with cobblestone like

What about craftable only extension and A-frame ladders? Cost X amount of Wood, mechanical, scap metal and tape. Is 2 meters high (basically a stairs you can pick up), have low hit point (50 - 150, so it's easily destroyed, like a Z it tipping it over while you'r on it, so not a good killing stand), not upgradable but weighs a realistic 20 - 30Kgs. The extension ladder would be have similar materials except steel instead of wood and could be used to reach 4 - 5 meters.
Seems like a realistic thing a survivor would make or scrap together once he's in the late-middle to late game stage and really getting into building a home/base.
Thoughts?

its not that realistic because of the sheer volume of such a thing to carry around, for one thing..

You would have to hold it in your hands all the time, unable to use a weapon without dropping the ladder first. 🙂

I hope this brainstorming is an irritation and thank you for taking the time to respond 🙂
Kugi, I agree, and that's the idea, it's not supposed to be carried around the world or used as a defensive structure. It's purpose is to be a tool for base building, repairs and upgrades. I mean, before Red introduced us to this cool way or templating before constructing, which I love, we all built scaffolding out of building blocks because we could pick them back up when done. Same concept but more realistic implementation.
I thought of this while working on my base, several hard to reach areas that needed repair and upgrades, but the only way to reach them was building a stairs that I had to chop down afterwards. I though, hmm, a ladder that gives me 2 - 5 more meters extra reach and could be picked up and moved to the next spot, etc, etc..., would be nice. LOL
But I'll say no more except this mod is awesome!! Thank you!!!

yea one or two people have asked for some kind of scaffolding system before
need to think of a good way to do it
river pond
Only available within a land claim having a bed placed. So it's harder to use it for nerd poling.
