Further thinking into it, I think it would be cool if you could upgrade the level on the wooly aphid on your ZIP.R inside the buffing barrel.

Hello, I have been enjoying the game a lot since the recent addition of the Zipline with the INTO THE ABYSS update, however now that it is here I feel like there a few things that could make it better and more accessible, especially for building purposes. ZIP.R Upgrade / Improvement: I feel as though the ZIP.R speed going uphill can be super slow at times, making me feel as though not utilizing could almost be faster in some ways. I think there's 2 ways that could improve it, either make the speed in general faster when travelling uphill (less fun), especially as the height gradually increases, or which I think could be more fun especially gameplay wise is adding an upgrade for the ZIP.R that would in turn change the speed and look of the Wooly Aphid on top. I think to include it into the game and lore it could be equipped with either an ORC or OGRR upgrade that would very generously upgrade it's speed when travelling uphill. Carrying Grass/Stems: Another improvement that would help a ton is having the ability to move the carryable items on the Zipline in some way. Much like my thoughts for the ZIP.R upgrade, it could either be a feature that is just added so you don't drop the items upon hanging on the zipline, or the ZIP.R could receive an upgrade that adds a feature that can carry those items below you upon travelling (possibly using feathers or tufts??). My third thought, is an actual item could be added that can carry the items themselves, without the need of player being on the zipline as well. The first thing that comes to my mind with this is something similar to a Gondola build, that could be attached to the zipline and send forwards or back at the players choosing. Failsafe for Dismount: My final suggestion is having a failsafe or mechanic that doesn't stop the player from falling early, or flying past the zipline point at a speed fast enough where they take damage. I notice this the most the steeper the ziplines are, where if there isn't enough overhang you will catch the lip that anchor is on and miss the point entirely. I think the easiest way to implement this would be to add a taller Zipline anchor build that reaches high enough where you will always have enough clearance. These are my suggestions so far, otherwise they have been a great addition so far! (Wish me luck on my BURG.L Statue Head base... it took me forever to get here XD)
