Someone explain ropes for me. Because I'm having a hard time getting a lot of use out of them. They seem to only go vertical, I'm having a hard time doing much with them because I can't get horizontal to get around overhangs, get up area where I can't reach the ceiling with one shot, etc. like I remember doing with the grappling hook.

Well you can turn ten of them into a throwable coil, but you need to hit the bottom of an overhead block for them to work. You can place ropes horizontally, but it's slower to traverse ropes that way.

Yeah, but my problem is I can't figure out how to get them to uncoil after I am done with them, short of hacking them down bit by bit, which is really irritating as well as often impractical.

That's the only way to get them down, but why bother? Ropes are expendable. Put up what you need to traverse an area and then leave it.

Because I can't leave resources behind like that. Trust me.

What is special about "living wood" blocks? They appear to basically just be the same thing as normal wood harvested normally.

Is there any estimate as to the timing of the next big patch? I want to play this again, but if it is going to be out in a month or so, I'd rather just wait. On the other hand, if we're talking six months, I might just play now.
