HabdomeRaider Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 If you want to build a really long ladder (or tiles or anything else) and you care more about it being straight than exactly how long it is, just hold the mouse button down and scroll the screen with wasd. If you're trying to dig down deep quickly, try to build your ladder straight down with no stops. That way your building materials will fall down with you as you work. Including the tiles you dig out for your ladder. You can build temporary deviations to drain water before return to dig further if there's water in your way. You can also build airlocks along the way to help manage gasses, spilling liquids, and building materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radje Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You can also hold shift to force a strait line, works with pipes/wires too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I play the game (I've been playing for a total of 40 hours now), the click + wasd is definitely the fastest way to build anything and everything in the game. so A+ for letting people know. As for the title of OP's post.. ladders are most efficiently built vertically, as they are, in fact, ladders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabdomeRaider Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 I use horizontal ladders a lot in this game. They're basically just mesh tiles if you don't need to put buildings on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
