edit- Maybe the ladder could coil or roll up into something solid to click at the bottom?

What about structures and other buildables? Gardening lots are sometimes a pain to water or humus, fireplaces require very precise clicking etc

Nothing is anywhere near as bad as the mine ladder. I don't have an issue with anything else personally.

Garden pots and fireplaces definitely need a rework.

Wouldn't it be enough to update the model with some transparent overlay around it? It should not change how the ladder looks, but it would still allow unprojecting and detection on click between the ladder steps.

Hm. It took me a while to understand what you suggest. I think I missed the ladder 1/1000 klicks so far, but much more often missed the fireplace :D

So in case you "fix" the ladder and make it more easy to klick, please follow the suggestion of Nektaris and add garden pots / fire places.
