Steps

Steps, also known as ladders were buildings that were originally added as a way for players to access tree houses and alpine tree houses in The Forest. Steps were added when the tree house was added in update v0.07 though were removed a short time later in update v0.10. They were replaced by climbing ropes. The patch note of their removal states: ''Removed steps from tree houses! Replaced with climbable hanging ropes.'' It is unknown if steps will return to The Forest. There has been many requests for ladders to be added to the game and steps may be able to perform a similar role. There is no way to add steps in the game with the use of console commands or mods. It appears that they have been removed from the game files or replaced entirely by the climbing rope. It is unknown if the developers will bring this building back in the future.
