Something akin to rope from terraria here?

Like, how would one climb up after he/she dug down way deep into the planet? I assume you could do something like a tight criss-crossed ladder, but is there any other faster way? or, can you just dig something like a hellevator from terraria, with the top opened to the sky, so that you can run back to this shaft (at whatever level deep down into the planet) and beam up to the ship?

 

You could dig ledges into the walls or take some of your excess dirt and build a tower underneath yourself until you can reach a ledge.

 

I think there's a merchant that sells rope.

 

What's the merchant's race? I checked two Avian villages and neither of them sold anything useful at all (that includes rope, too)

 

tbh I have no idea, looked human though to me. There was a post earlier on the forum of some guy's ship and he said the merchant he got sold rope.

 

I'll keep an eye out for the merchant then. Thanks.

 

who woulda thunk it....rope...the super rare, cant find it nowhere item
I havnt seen a single strand....and you would think we would be able to craft it from plant fiber or something

 

yep, have a merchant on my ship that sells bombs, ropes, and flares

 

Ok, so I found a rope. What can I do with it?

 

Actually being able to climb on the ropes is the next beta update, says right there on the dev blog.

 

Heck, I just want a good ol' ladder. What's with these platforms?
