+# Ropes
+
+This mod adds "rope boxes", blocks that when placed in world will automatically lower a rope at 1 meter per second until it reaches a fixed maximum length. The basic rope box produces 50m of rope by default and there are up to eight additional rope box types that produce multiples of that rope length - 100m, 150m, and so forth up to 450m. The number of rope boxes and the length of a standard rope length can be configured via the settings menu.
+
+The rope stops lowering if it reaches an obstruction. Ropes can be cut using an axe or other choppy tool at any location and when they're cut the bottom half of the rope will disappear, dropping any climbers. The same happens to the entire rope if the rope box at the top of the rope is removed. Cutting the rope doesn't reduce the maximum length of rope the rope box will produce if it's removed and rebuilt again. Ropes are flammable. They respect protection settings - if the player that placed the rope box isn't permitted to build in an area then the rope descending from that box will treat it as an obstruction.
+
+Also included is a rope ladder that behaves similarly, though it only comes in one standard maximum length - 50m by default, again changeable in settings.
+
+This mod will also enhance default wood ladders and steel ladders to make them "extendable", capable of building upward independent of support to a setting-defined limit (defaulting to 5 nodes for wood and 15 nodes for steel ladders). This can be disabled if undesired.
+
+This mod retains optional backward compatibility with the crafting items from the vines mod (anything with group "vines" can be used to make rope boxes and rope ladders). Ropes can also be made from cotton, available via an optional dependency on the farming mod.
+
+In-game documentation is provided via an optional dependency on the doc mod.
+
+## Interaction with other mods
+
+By default ropes and rope ladders only extend downward into "air" nodes. Other mods can modify this behaviour to add other nodes as valid targets for ropes to extend into using either of two mechanisms: either add `ropes_can_extend_into = 1` to the node definition's groups list or add a dependency on the ropes mod to your mod and then set `ropes.can_extend_into_nodes[target_node_name] = true`. There is also a configuration setting, `ropes_can_extend_into_airlike`, that will allow ropes to extend into any node with `drawtype = "airlike"` in its definition. Note that in cases where ropes extend into non-air nodes the rope will still be replaced with an "air" node when it's eventually destroyed.

La sección de la cuerda debajo del corte se colapsará y desaparecerá, lo que puede causar que los jugadores que estaban colgados de ella se caigan. El resto de la cuerda no volverá a descender por sí sola, pero la caja de la cuerda en la parte superior de la cuerda "recuerda" la longitud de la cuerda y si es deconstruida y reemplazada tendrá la misma longitud máxima de cuerda que antes - ninguna cuerda se pierde permanentemente cuando una cuerda es cortada de esta manera.

+
+After a rope ladder is placed on a vertical wall it will begin extending downward until it reaches its maximum length (@1 meters). If the rope ladder is removed all of the ladder below the point of removal will disappear. A rope ladder can be severed partway down using an axe or similar tool, and the ladder below the point where it is cut will collapse. No rope is actually lost in the process, though, and if the uppermost section of the ladder is removed and replaced the ladder will re-extend to the same maximum length as before.=Después de colocar una escalera de cuerda en una pared vertical, comenzará a extenderse hacia abajo hasta que alcance su longitud máxima (@1 metro). Si se retira la escalera de cuerda, desaparecerá toda la escalera por debajo del punto de extracción. Una escalera de cuerda puede ser cortada hasta la mitad usando un hacha o una herramienta similar, y la escalera por debajo del punto donde es cortada colapsará.

+
+Rope boxes have a certain amount of rope contained within them specified in the name of the node, and have a limit to how much rope they can support that depends on the material they're made of. The different lengths can be crafted by combining and splitting up rope boxes in the crafting grid. For example, you can craft a @1m rope box by putting a @2m rope box and a rope segment in the crafting grid, or a @3m rope box and two rope segments in the crafting grid. Two rope segments can be recovered by putting the @4m rope box in the crafting grid by itself.=Las cajas de cuerdas tienen una cierta cantidad de cuerda contenida dentro de ellas especificada en el nombre del nodo, y tienen un límite en la cantidad de cuerda que pueden soportar que depende del material del que están hechas. Las diferentes longitudes se pueden realizar combinando y dividiendo las cajas de cuerda en la rejilla de elaboración. Por ejemplo, puedes crear una caja de cuerda de @1m poniendo una caja de cuerda de @2m y un segmento de cuerda en la rejilla de artesanía, o una caja de cuerda de @3m y dos segmentos de cuerda en la rejilla de artesanía. Se pueden recuperar dos segmentos de cable colocando solo la caja de cable de @4m en la rejilla de fabricación.

+Rope segments are bundles of fibre twisted into robust cables.=Los segmentos de cable son haces de fibras trenzadas en cables robustos.

+This behaves like most structural blocks except in one circumstance: when placed on top of a block with buildable space on the side facing away from you, this block will not be built on top but instead will extend out from that far side of the target block.

+
+When a rope box is placed the rope will immediately begin lowering from it at one meter per second. The rope will only descend when its end is in the vicinity of an active player, suspending its journey when no players are nearby, so a long descent may require a player to climb down the rope as it goes. If you are near the bottom end of a rope that's extending you'll be automatically carried down with it. The rope will stop when it encounters and obstruction, but will resume lowering if the obstruction is removed.=Cuando se coloca una caja de cuerda, la cuerda comienza a descender inmediatamente a un metro por segundo. La cuerda sólo descenderá cuando su final esté cerca de un jugador activo, suspendiendo su viaje cuando no haya jugadores cerca, por lo que un largo descenso puede requerir que el jugador baje por la cuerda a medida que avanza. Si estás cerca del extremo inferior de una cuerda que se está extendiendo, serás arrastrado automáticamente hacia abajo con ella.

+This craft item is useful for creating rope ladders, or for spooling on wooden spindles to hang and climb upon.=
+
+When a rope box is placed the rope will immediately begin lowering from it at one meter per second. The rope will only descend when its end is in the vicinity of an active player, suspending its journey when no players are nearby, so a long descent may require a player to climb down the rope as it goes. If you are near the bottom end of a rope that's extending you'll be automatically carried down with it. The rope will stop when it encounters and obstruction, but will resume lowering if the obstruction is removed.=
+
+rope boxes can hold @1m of rope.=
+rope boxes can hold rope lengths from @1m to @2m.=
