Ladders

Description
Why dig side to side when you can go straight down and and discover !!FUN!! faster? Swap your dusty stairs out for brand new ladders and Strike the Earth 60% more vertically than ever before!

Description
Replaces all stairs with ladder sprites whether dug, built or those in the UI.
UI text is hardcoded so ladders are canonically called stairs in all your forts. I might alter hatches/grates/floor bars to match in the future and possibly an alternate version with square shafts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

FAQ
  • Why is it not working?
    You will need to start a fresh world and select your mods at world creation bottom-right unless you want to mess with copying the files in yourself.
  • Why would I want ladders?
    Idk, why do you want stairs?

created via digging...i presume crafting would make ladders only.

Well..
In my current game it seems like stairs are created on rock and ladders on soil...so in a way, i got what i wanted :)

I don't think that's possible unless you could make a dfhack thing for it

It would be awesome if these were added alongside stairways instead of replacing them. Having both around would help create different vibes across the fort.

Love the idea of my dwarves having to carefully lower wheelbarrows into the mountains via a ladder, exactly what I needed, thanks!

would it be possible to add a function where it only makes Up/Down ladders instead of capping the ends?

You should figure out a way to make an option to remove the ladder from the hole, and just leave behind the open space, then you could use it as a simple method of digging out a well.

Maybe if the ladder was given similar properties to the levers & mechanisms it could function like a removable piece of some sort.

Also would love to see the ladders be added as an additional option along side the stairs, rather than just replacing them entirely.

Great mod man!

@ADAR

I'm actually fairly certain I remember thin hallways actually causing issues. Mind you because of how the base game was displayed, a lot of interactions are calculated and happen without being graphically displayed. I remember one of my friends talking about dwarves crawling over each other causing problems, and I know single staircases causes really bad fps problems related to pathing ai much later on in a fort.
