How To Attach Sheet Rope To Window And Fence In Project Zomboid

Escape ropes, also known as sheet ropes, are a useful tool in the event of a zombie attack. They allow you to quickly and safely escape from a building, and can be crafted from sheets or large clothing items. Sheet ropes are essential for creating secure safehouse designs where you can fully barricade the ground floor while maintaining access through upper floors. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps for using escape ropes in your game.

To use escape ropes, you will need at least two or three sheets, a hammer, and nails. First, turn the sheets into sheet ropes by using the hammer and nails. You will need one rope for every floor you need to climb, including the ground floor. Next, attach the sheet ropes to the window frame. Make sure the window is open before you do this.

To use the rope, hold "E" while standing near it. You can also right-click the rope to pull it back up. Keep in mind that zombies may attack and destroy the ropes, so it is advisable to have multiple ropes on different sides of your building to ensure you always have a way to escape. This strategy works particularly well when combined with properly barricaded windows on the ground floor.

In summary, using escape ropes is a simple process: gather the materials, craft the ropes, attach them to the window frame, and use them to escape. By having multiple ropes on different sides of your building, you can always have a way to quickly and safely get in or out of your base. Remember to always be prepared for a zombie attack, and keep escape ropes on hand to ensure you have a way to escape if necessary.
