Suggestion: Glass Doors and Metal Ladders

I was looking at another mod with a modern theme and wondered why we don't have these in IC2? We can make carbon composite armor, but doors and ladders are still wood?

I think that a glass door could be made from 6 reinforced glass, in the same crafting pattern as other doors. As for a metal ladder, it could honestly be made of bronze, iron, or refined iron - but iron is probably the best choice. Because it's more costly than sticks and the only real difference in game is cosmetic, it should yield more sections for the ingots used to craft it (perhaps 8 each instead of 2?)

Quote from Frantic Fanatic

Metal Ladders would be redundant when you place it next to a stacked metal fence + Magnetizer (Which quickly pulls you up the pole when you're wearing metal boots.)

A glass door is interesting, though is this a purely cosmetic difference, or would there be something special with the door?

The main difference with the door is that you can see through it. I suppose one could simply replace the texture for the wooden door, but it makes little sense to craft a glass door out of wood.

As for the magnetizer? I don't use it in most situations, because up is the only option. Again, the main difference in a metal ladder is cosmetic - but an alternate recipe that is sensible increases a player's options and improves the technological feel of the mod and internal consistency.
