Ladder (climbable + use tools/weapons/interactibles on it!)

Explosive ladder compression
Fisrt, always love your work Digi.
Survival, all air things enabled. inside a ship with 2 floors, we were using the normal non collapsing ladder.. Over time, the standard ladder seems to build up presurization ( we would completely de-pressurize the cabin, to speed up entering and exiting ) its like the square the ladder occupies doesnt depressure, but when re-pressured it got "pressure x2" and the next time same result it recived "pressure x3" and so on.. eventually when returning to the ship and opening the door, mass explosion of force ( no damage just a permant square of death ) any time anyone tried to walk within 1 square of the effected square.. death.. tried this in a number of different ships, using different mods ( even without any other mod ) same end result.. removing the non-collaspsing ladders from the ship removed the issiue in all cases.
Have yet to test it with the ladder hole being greater then 4 squares from a door.. don't think that has any bearing.. Spent greater then 20 hours trying different ways to avoid death pressure explosion.. gave up waited for fix.

I hope this is explained well enough to solve the issiue or at least point you in a direction that might "find a cure"

If you need more details I can write this is much greater detail. :steamhappy:

Can you send a blueprint/world of the stuff required to replicate this? :P

And I'm not quite getting the steps required... is it just depressurize (into void or air vent?) and repressurize a room with a ladder a few times then open a door to void (or other sealed room?) causes instant death?

I can not send save file.
Depresurize into air tank... represurize from air tank.
after several times.. the spot where ladder is.. becomes death square anything that goes near it dies.

I can't replicate it so far, there must be something specific about how the ladder is placed or what other blocks are near it...

If you're in a MP server you can make a blueprint of the ship if it's shared with you, ctrl+B while aiming at it.

Every time this was an issue was hosting multiplayer with a 2nd player, don't think it ever was an issiue solo...

You should've started with that :P
Is it a local DS or is it a world loaded ingame and the other person joins?
And does this kill box happen for both of you or just the client or just the server (if not DS)?

I tried in my local DS as a client and still can't replicate it.

If you want, you can add me on steam and join/host a world to show the issue.

Sorry,, its not a DS, just a local host.. it makes a 1x1x1 ladder into a 3x3x3 area of death...
