Ok, I give up, how do you place ladders now?

Conan Exiles Xbox Discussion Xbox Bug Reports

Single player, Xbox one. PVE only (haven’t actually tested this on any PVP servers as yet)

Bug Description:

Unable to place ladders internally.

Bug Reproduction:

I tried to build a ladder (with the build hammer) and attach it to the trap door frame but it refuses to attach itself to the frame. I can place it on TOP of the frame, but that’s just silly and doesn’t help.

What gives? This used to work before, so I’m guessing this is a new bug? Has anyone else encountered this?

Ladders require a hatch frame to serve as an anchor and can only be placed 2 tiles above and 2 tiles below. Additionally, you may be running into an order of operations issue. Make sure the item below the hatch frame is a standard wall and that nothing can interfere with it. Once in place, you should be able to upgrade the wall and move things closer.

Thank you for the response, I think I may know the issue now , I honestly didn’t know you couldn’t go higher than two floors, that’s an odd restriction.

That may be the issue I’m running into, I shall retry this tomorrow.

Thanks again.

As I suspected, marking this as solved was jumping the gun a bit. This is most definitely not solved.

I am still unable to place ladders, even if I add another hatch along the way (as you show in your pics–thank you btw)

I am an experienced builder and while they have been ‘fiddly’ to place , I’ve never had any real issues with them until now.

(All that being said I was still surprised to learn you couldn’t have them any higher than 2 floors :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

EDIT - You can place them higher than two floors. They just don’t currently work with the basic sandstone building set. weird.

Yeah, I was gonna say that sandstone is bugged currently. It’s on all platforms as I understand and not just to Xbox or another.
