Would be nice to have the ability to place climable exterior ladders

Useful for building above water bases; also useful for climbing on them after you're done, if you're into that. Although, SN currently lets you build some ridiculous structures that would fall apart in real life, so maybe better leave it this way to discourage skyscrapers being supported by one vertical pipe. xD

    Meh, if people want to build skyscrapers, let them. It's their resources and their gameplay experience. I could really use some external ladders to build just one or two levels outside the water and I think most people would go for something reasonable like that too.

    True that.

    Same here.

    Hm. On one hand, solar arrays out of water on foundation platforms would be a really smart thing, 110% maximum water generation rate sounds about right. (Even though actually attaching solars to base assets seems to double fabricator consumption, probably a bug.)

    On the other, the game engine should have realistic bits by default as often as possible. Immersion and all. Having a "structure" value per piece, and having that decrease for each unsupported piece would make a lot of sense. Not that you shouldn't be able to make weird builds, but you should have to prop it up believably.

    That way, people can have their skyscrapers AND immersion. And I'd be totally on board with a console command to disable structure values for the entire save, allowing as weird structures as anyone can create. Games need to be consistent, console commands and mods do not.

    So ladders would make sense. I've always just used topside hatches.

    Ladders and catwalks would be great.

    Also, the ability to use bulkheads as entrances on above water bases
