Here's how they can work: Basically like a block of water that doesn't flow, and doesn't drain air. Just give it a flower-type sprite and make it destructible, and there you go. As far as building down goes, they could just be placed on a ceiling, and slide down until they're no longer connected to a ceiling or another rope. Like this: (logs are rope)
If I place another rope in the same spot, it falls to the bottom of the other rope-
I think that ropes whould be a good idea, but i think they whould make the game alot easier. So i was thinking of some kind of stength/fatigue system that made you unable to hold on to a rope for a longer time and made it hard to climp upwards.
No, but seriously, ropes would be a cool idea. Or stepladders, at least.

Oshi--
just simply make a block that is two high
like that so when you place it it is then becomes just two normal blocks with one below the other
then you could easily build down
Which would assist in building down, how?
I don't care about climbing, I can pillar jump if I have to. I want hanging fortresses.
