Premium Reddington 'Low-casualty' model Shuttlevator

"Step right up, one and all, to see the finest of Europan innovation at hand! Reddington's done it again, with their PREMIUM edition of the (in)famous Shuttlevator!

This marvel of machinery allows a sailor to experience the joys of vertical movement without the need for a scum-covered ladder in a dingy shaft. Yes, gone are the days of cold, calloused fingers and excessive upper body strength - you too can revel in this hands-free ascension for the low, low price of [redacted].

Nay-sayers might point to the bumps and hurdles of years past, but I tell you that NO quantity of riders being sucked out into the dark, crushing abyss through gaps in the shuttlevator's doors could hope to stem the tide of technological advancement! The ingenious additions to this 'Low Casualty' edition have reduced unplanned ejections by over 47%! Now that's progress!"

- Finnebert Deribarn, shortly before being pelted with rotten pomegrenades.


Ladders suck, and stations are big. Some subs are big, too! Carrying lots of material up a ladder shaft is a pain, but this shuttlevator is a surprisingly effective solution. I've included an example station with seven floors serviced by the shuttlevator, but theoretically there's no reason you couldn't add many, many more. This design does not require any other mods, and should work with any multi-floored station.

I've included a seven-floor example station that you can copy+paste right into your design, shuttle and all. Remove any floors you don't need (top down). You can adjust the distance between floors a bit (vertically) if the example floors don't line up with your base, but DO NOT shift the doors / shaft components horizontally.

If you'd like to do something weird with this system I HIGHLY suggest reading through the system description and exploded diagrams before you try to modify the shuttlevator or door setup.

If you don't care what kind of black magic makes this thing work, follow these instructions to add as many floors to your underwater skyscraper as you'd like:

1) Insert the "Station Control Module" and "Station Door Control Setup" item assemblies into your custom sub/station

2) Place ONE "Station Control Module" somewhere out of the way (It is non-interactable and hidden in game)

3) Copy/paste the "Station Door Control Setup" onto the right-hand edge of as many floors as you want the shuttlevator to service.

*NOTE: when placing doors on floors they must ALL be stacked in a vertical line (no horizontal variation). Distance between floors can vary slightly (small vertical variation). It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do NOT adjust the distance between the DOOR, the HULL, and the DOCKING HATCHES. If you do, it will no longer be a 'Low-Casualty' model. If the shuttlevator isn't working or you think something moved, paste in a new Door Setup and compare the distances*

4) Once you've arranged your Door Setups, remove the BOTTOM hatch+components from only the LOWEST floor (otherwise the shuttlevator will stop halfway at every floor)

5) Change the value of every MEM component in the elevator shaft so they are in ascending order, starting with 0 at the bottom (i.e.: [Bottom] 0, 1, 2, 3 ...13, 14, 15 [Top])

6) Select the "Shuttlevator" from the 'Add Submarine' drop-down menu at the top of the Submarine Editor screen, and place the shuttle at the bottom of the elevator shaft (try to line the top of the shuttle outline with the bottom of the docking hatch)

7) Link the Shuttlevator to the docking hatch above it.

8) YOU DONE! Test it out to make sure it works.


Post a comment if something breaks catastrophically, I'll do my best to respond or fix it.

This system was designed as a proof-of-concept component of my very silly submarine - the Cubaclysm (workshop ID = 2903260901)

This system is a heavily modified version of the ingenious elevator design originally developed by Ecchi'Ki Senpai (Workshop ID =2440212300)

Enjoy!
