Not sure if either of these ideas have been suggest yet:

1. Droppable ladders
When the tile under the bottom droppable ladder piece is destroyed or moved, the ladder rolls out and down a set amount of tiles. The ladder gets longer, it does not stay the same.

2. Steel/Indestructable/Fragile Water Crates/Taps
Self-explanatory.

I think we already have number 2?

Idea 1 is good, as well as great for underground/below unreachable locations.

Yes the class system should be applied to everything. The ladder idea is cool.

I like the ladder idea. It'd also be cool if we could make it so that the ladder falls without getting longer.

Here's a few ideas:

-we can have gravity-affected ladders, so that they can fall and stack like regular crates.

-have rope ladders where if you break the tile at the top of the ladder-chain, then the entire thing falls and becomes useless.

-and we can have extendable ladders that you have one tile, and whenever there is space available below it, the ladder grows to take up that space.

we ave already mentioned that.

yeah, but what I'm saying is to have four kinds of ladders:
Stationary (that act like HATPC)
Ladder Crate (which fall and move like regular crates)
Rope (that fall easily if a ladder above it is destroyed)
Extendable (which constantly expand to fill the space below them).

yes, I know, what part of the highlight didn't you get...*sigh*

Indestructable ladders perhaps?

didn't we already mention the indestructible class? O_x

also, about rope ladders... if the bottom part falls off, it's worthless and it is just a pile of ropes and sticks. You realize that, right?

Only for crates. Can you imagine a fragile ladder?

maybe there could be a really fragile ladder that would last only for a few seconds then it would fall apart.
