Wooden Ladder

Wood is the easy part. Rope is loot, and it decides how many ladders, hatches and satchels your group gets out of one road run.

About this craft

Rope is the whole recipe. Wood you farm in a minute, but rope cannot be crafted at all, whatever the unfolded calculator shows with its cloth and Level 2 bench. Every coil comes from barrels, crates and the recycler, and the satchel charge wants one too. So the ladders a group carries to a raid are paid for in the same rope as the satchels that open the wall.

The blueprint is a cheap Level 1 pick, and it is worth learning early even if you never plan to climb anything: every ladder hatch, frag or armoured, eats one ladder, and without this blueprint the hatch recipes go nowhere.

Tip

A ladder left over after a raid is rope in storage. The ordinary recycler returns one rope, sometimes two, and half the wood: keep the ladder if a hatch is planned, break it down if a satchel is.
