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.

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.") .. "\n\n" ..

The remaining rope will not resume descent on its own, but the rope box at the top of the rope \"remembers\" how long the rope was and if it is deconstructed and replaced it will still have the same maximum length of rope as before - no rope is permanently lost when a rope is severed like this.")
