The Zip-line is a structure that allow for quick vertical and horizonal traversal between points once interacted with.
Overview[]
The Zip-line is a useful structure for safe and quick long-distance travel. Constructing it requires a PCC Lv.2 and 500 Chiral Network bandwidth. For a successful connection (indicated by a glowing blue line), two zip-line towers must be placed within range of each other and be free of obstructions. Multiple zip-lines can connect to a single tower. The default maximum connection range is 300 meters, and can be increased to 350 meters with a Lv.2 upgrade. A Lv.3 upgrade will provide better durability against Timefall.

- Hand carried items and floating carriers cannot be taken with the player if using a zip-line.
- A single floating carrier can be used with ziplines in the Director's Cut version.
- Between two ziplines, only one needs to be Lv.2 to benefit from the increased range.
