I have an issue with this, i download frome the workshop the whole project. In trying to copying that in a survival world but how can i create or copy the platform part cause i cannot with the projector... Pls helppp? :'(

I mean with my space elevator Tether is a bit different because it uses a conveyor and it has A projector on it to get the space elevator started welding the thing as it goes downwards because it’s a reverse space elevator that goes downwards

Agarath I need your help with the space elevator I’m working on. It’s supposed to go down and I’m basing it off of your space elevator design when it comes to the wheels, but I’m having a hard time making it go up and down. Any advice? By the way, the railing is a little bit different because it also is a supply chain

Hello, when I put it to work with the projector it doesn't appear complete.
GELIPTER 30 Jul, 2023 @ 12:35pm 
There is no elevator , only the base. And the base is only 2km high. Even your footage shows that.

is it just me or does this elevator brake at the wrong time?

@atm reaper
It's on my workshop. One of the older blueprints so the picture and colours are outdated.
ATM_Reaper 8 Jun, 2022 @ 2:30am 
I want the blueprint for that red ship, cant find it anywhere lol. Anyone got it?
DC-Game-Art 2 Jun, 2022 @ 7:25am 
I love your design on this.:steamthumbsup:

Don 't bother blueprint is broken

Please update!

I've tested this in survival and i can never seem to get it to work. It always either glitches into the shaft or hits the top too fast and explodes. Any idea's how to fix it/ other survival safe designs?
BOT_csgo_gaben 7 Apr, 2020 @ 12:05pm 
how do i make it to a ship ?
novoscorp 27 Jan, 2020 @ 9:09am 
This blueprint looks dam cool 😃 I see it when starting the game and when I fire up Steam. I've only been playin 3 months now, starting to get a finer gasp beyond the basics. Yeah, i gotta try to build this at some point.

The lift for the most part is flawless. The buffer wheels on the base of the tether (which the lift rests on at stop) do not allow you to build the half slabs next to them which complete the actual tether itself, but do the the design the lift never requires them anyways. I have determined it to be entirely possible within survival, but building the lift and getting it to run without issue is difficult. Currently working on getting the lift too 12km, lmk if you have any questions about building it in survival

Ah, I had wondered why this build seemed impossible; Didn't know it was because it was made with wheel clipping and some other non-survival stuff. =P
Blacky Watchy 15 Jan, 2020 @ 2:14pm 
cool
Akiad 15 Jan, 2020 @ 12:21pm 
Can't seem to build it in survival mode because we can no longer clip wheels. Any suggestions?

@WorkArtist68997
No scripts! just a little timer block magic.
WorkArtist68997 6 Jan, 2020 @ 9:59am 
what script was used?

Been looking for this elevator for ages. Then I finally found it in one ofGame Horizon's videos. This is a lovely creation, shame its not on the front page of the workshop.
zenol the soviet waffle 25 Nov, 2019 @ 8:38am 
is it possible to make this have 2 symetrical sides? or take this model and just put another one on the opposite side?

also how does the tower get built? does it build itself or do we need to build it up ourselves?
Aragath  [author] 17 Nov, 2019 @ 11:22pm 
@Sebi
@FrAgGeR

Just cut out a piece of the tower, then copy and past it on top of each other to extend the elevator. Do note that the elevator works poorly in low gravity.
Sebi 17 Nov, 2019 @ 7:07pm 
is there anyway to re-code it so i can extend it
FrAgGeR 2 Nov, 2019 @ 12:56am 
Awsome build!

May I ask for a longer one? :-)
anrew10 20 Sep, 2019 @ 6:34pm 
I’ve been seeing this in the background of the main menu for so long
Puryfire 18 Jul, 2019 @ 11:16am 
I really love your and Xocliw's blueprints from the videos! But i am searching for two special ships from the "out of the early access" video. The blue ship at 02:04 mins, which they use to get on the planet and the grey one on the velocity elevator at the end. Could you help me here please? That would be really really nice! ^^ Thank you and go on with the good work!
Blade Viridian 30 May, 2019 @ 3:14pm 
really nice concept, gives me ideas for larger creations using the same wheeled lift
also does it extend to space or do i have to build that myself
Socialist_Bismarck 17 May, 2019 @ 2:45pm 
Is there a way to modify this to extend to atmosphere or gravity limit?
♠ Zahltag ♠ 10 May, 2019 @ 5:28am 
this is so good! Also I didnt have to turn the platform into a ship :D
Aragath  [author] 22 Apr, 2019 @ 2:14pm 
@thingy
Take it apart in a creative world map and make it two different blueprints.
Thingy 22 Apr, 2019 @ 2:01pm 
Hi,
That's nice, and I'd like to use it in survival, but when I load the blueprint in the Projector it says it can't show 2 grids and will only display the biggest one.
So I see the base structure, but can't manage to show the moving plateform, and can't build it...
How can I do?

Wow

One Word, Awesome!

Very cool to see this featured in the video trailer for the survival mode update, and popping up on the loading screen.
Terramir 11 Feb, 2019 @ 4:36pm 
hi! im making my own space elevator, do you mind if i use the same setup you have here? im not modifying yours,im building my own from scratch but i cant find a good setup for the wheels.

@Jinsoku Okay. Okay. My week is gonna be busy, now. Ideas... Too many ideas...
Jinsoku Shirotsuki 21 Dec, 2018 @ 10:46pm 
you know..... if you put this horazontal along the interior of a capital class ship you could have a lift for transporting: vehicles, cargo, or passangers quickly across the entire ship

@connemarawithin

Don't try to activate it until it's a ship, or it will explode.

Or at least, that's what the desc says.. heh..
Nocturnal 31 Oct, 2018 @ 10:04pm 
I built the tether out to 15km on a custom planet on a survival server. As it got closer to exiting gravity it exceeded 50m/s and slammed into the end cap. If anyone else is thinking of trying it, you need to add pillars extending off the middle, like those near the base, to trigger breaking with enough time to stop.

Now I just need to add a large cargo container, and adjust the stopping triggers to allow for maximum load weight.
Autarch Conne 31 Oct, 2018 @ 12:17pm 
I fixed the problem! But now it explodes when I convert it into a station.
Autarch Conne 31 Oct, 2018 @ 12:15pm 
It will not accelerate, yes the handbrake is off and it is converted to a station. Please help.
CrimsonJupiter 26 Oct, 2018 @ 10:28pm 
good magic sky explorer
MrEvan312 26 Oct, 2018 @ 9:37pm 
Gonna have to take a stab at making my own version of this for my UNSC Orbital Elevator Mk. II design. I need to phase out the method of using hydrogen thrusters.
RockDoctor 26 Oct, 2018 @ 1:49pm 
Whenever I convert to ship it just blows the fuck up err tim.
flores_blizzy 26 Oct, 2018 @ 12:13pm 
got it extended up to 20kms high enough to leave most planets via ion thrusters needed to put 2 ion thrusters on it and solar panels to make it viable way of getting up and down no problem pretty functional use it to refuel my larger ships and move cargo up and down it

G-18 25 Oct, 2018 @ 5:08pm 
:steamhappy:
ProtoCPU 25 Oct, 2018 @ 10:23am 
When i reach the top it just breaks and the brake system just breaks
flores_blizzy 24 Oct, 2018 @ 11:36pm 
got it working and did some testing to see how high i could make it and it starts to mess up after 4km up
Geekin 24 Oct, 2018 @ 9:09pm 
if only they made larger hanger doors, this would be a great way to have underground ship storage for plantetary bases
