Make Ladders retractable when in front of accessways

0x6A7232

Make ladders retract, and click to lower, click again to climb. This would be an ideal solution for ladders going up when in front of hatches / corridors as then the ladder is out of the way until needed. Also, be careful if there's another ladder right under it code-wise (you guys know what I mean and if it's applicable here or not).

or make ladders... like... rotatable like they always should have been.

Or that, yes. Or both!

Both yes!

I believe you can rotate them before building, but it doesn't fix the issue of blocking corridors.

Even if i always manage to put them in the middle of the room or against a wall , i agree with OP , so +1 for me

You cannot.

Well, I just tried here and I can rotate ladders around their vertical axis.

Wat. Did they fix it?? What keys did you use, the normal rotation keys, mousewheel? Gotta reproduce this.

I second the retractable ladder idea, and in fact submitted this very idea a while back!

I play on a joystick and rotate objects using the old d-pad, I believe it's the mousewheel to those who play on mouse+keyboard. I tried doing it again to record a small clip of it, but couldn't.
I thought it always rotated, I don't usually build ladders as I favor large horizontal bases.

Is there any way to roll back to earlier versions and check if it was a version thing?

There is, check my signature for how to install any version of Subnautica using STeam.

Maalteromm

Yeah, there are only 2 versions available now: experimental and current branch.
The rest is locked.

But thanks anyway,
learning new things everyday.

Yeah this is a good idea. I was building a base once and I had to redo an entire section because the ladder was facing the wrong way and the whole bit.
