I was pretty upset about Gravity Bubble tech being gone (Nightly)

Until I got this freaking sweet grappling hook! I feel so unstoppable!! What a good addition with taking something away, get more and more impressed as I keep discovering things. Do you guys like it?

 

I actually love both the grappling hook and reworked rope too.

Like, I actually love using the rope too because of how it's effected by gravity now. So a ledge I want to make sure I can climb -over" I can throw the rope well above knowing that the "hook" part of it will fall down on the floor on the top of the ledge meaning that pulling myself up will bring me to that floor and not the top of the ledge's side.

I like it a fair deal ^^;

 

Couldn't agree more it's an awesome mechanic I'm already seeing how it will come in handy!

 

The new rope mechanic is horrible I want an option toggle to change it back to the old way because it was better!!!

Joking aside it is nice, I just gotta get use to it, I keep aiming at that very finite space between the block and the top of the ledge and keep forgetting that it doesn't work that way anymore. How ever overall it's a great change and is a lot more realistic (I have yet to get a grappling hook to try that out)

Also wish the rope was one handed so I could have it and a flashlight or two ropes to make getting places easier but that's easy enough to mod in my self.

 

At first I was upset, too, but then I realized this tech took away all challenge from falling down caves of cliffs, so I kinda like it that it's gone.

 

Same. Actually actively encourage me to use rope when going down mountain.

Latch on floor next to me...... then sliiiiiiiide down that cliff.

Plus with techs like spiky sphere and wall jump(literally allows you to sliiiide down those cliffs with your FEETs) it's not like we're lacking in term of "safety options" anymore. I also liked the rocket boost jump when exploring because when underestimating the depth of a cliff when accidently jumping down I could activate the jump.... stop in mid-air and then direct my control to boost in the direction of the cliff for the safety of a ledge or anything.

In fact, favorite selection of tech for exploration must be sprint+rocket boost jump+(preffered distortion sphere variation)

 

What exactly changed about the grappling hook? Do you still rocket down at lethal fall damage speed when you barely tap the down key?

I woulda tested it, but yanno, no room on my hotbar for the grappling hook so I didn't bother to make one during my Nightly playthrough because I had nowhere to stick it.

 

Nope, it's reasonable now like how ropes are in current Stable. No terminal velocity from tapping the down key. They also arc slightly, the hook has weight, but that applies to ropes as well.

 

Ahh, that sounds good. Now if only I had room for it......

 

BUT is it as good as Koala rope/grappling hook?



Never forget Koala

The world was so big...there was so much you could do. So much freedom

Now, I know that being realistic is good and has its place, but I already get enough of that just by going outside.

 

In the nightly change log...

Code:

items\active\grapplinghooks\climbingrope\climbingrope.activeitem
10c10
<   "twoHanded" : true,
---
>   "twoHanded" : false,

They are watching me! I just know it! I was gonna make a mod for it and chucklefish strikes again adding my idea to the main game! *puts on tinfoil hat*

 

Oh please please make a 1H mod for climbing rope.... with how few hotbar buttons we have nowadays I'd love to pair it with something like the Bug Net (can we get that made 1H too!?) to save room. It isn't like I'm going to be using the silly thing in combat so I don't see any balance reasons as to why not.

 

It's not needed Chuklefish already has done it in the nightly apparently. I just suggested it then the next nightly they released it was in. That's why I had the "they are watching me." comment. I'd make it now but it'd be a rather pointless mod for the 11 days that it'd be useful.

How ever if you want it NOW I guess i could write it up and throw it up here as it really isn't worth a mod page with it's short lifespan.
