Talk:Tutorials/Water ladder

I've never editted a wiki before but I assume I have to add a comment on why I changed it or something. The amount of planks required to make a ladder was incorrectly stated as 3.75, 2 planks = 4 sticks meaning 1 plank= 2 sticks, 7 sticks to make the ladder makes it 3.5 planks. I also changed sign which said it needed 6.25 planks, it is actually 6.5 planks. -DotsTheHero

Direction matters
I've found that direction matters when building a water ladder. I've made ladders that you face south and it works, but when you face east it doesn't (you just go up at normal climbing speed). Anyone else experience this? --JonTheMon 09:40, 10 November 2010 (CST)
 * I did notice that when I built one with the ladders on the East face and the water on the North face it didn't seem to improve climbing speed. MrMatthew 13:19, 11 November 2010 (CST)

use of ladders
I made my own water ladder (hidden kind) and it would appear that ladders also slow you down when going up, as there is a noticeable loss of speed (very little though) when it reaches the singular ladder I put there to make it easier for me to reach a hallway in the middle of the shaft.Roady1990 18:00, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
