It works when I paste it in creative, but when I make it in survival it doesnt even try to run.

this thing never got updated or fixed

could this work for an inch worm?
Is there a weight limit , say you have a bigger plattform in front of that elevator for large grid ships to be carried up and down, would that cause any forseeable issues?

Is there a way you can make it horizontal?

hello, will it work on survival? it's said "made for creative"

I tried to make an elevator on a large grid. Even in a single game, large rotors create problems -
they twist, explode and break pistons.I have not been able to defeat these bugs. I also tried to replace the rotors with connecting blocks, but they have too long a response time for smooth operation of the elevator. Everything works fine on a small grid, thanks to BlackArmor for a great idea.

Changed the timer delay to move it to the required height and it worked perfectly, but it broke after loading the save, Started going like only 3-4 pistons up and down and I can't figure out how to reset it

Funny idea, what about using merge blocks instead of rotors?
Clang will maybe spare you a bit.

Got an issue where having two of these on one grid the second elevator is not working

Hello, i am having an issue in which the elevator only goes up by one piston and then does not work. Is there some way to fix this?

Doesn't seem to be complete, and I can't seem to make it project onto the rotor small grid to be able to weld.....

This looks fantastic - really, I also liked the other swinging elevator, but how are people able to use this if the projector won't show multiple grids? Is there a workaround I've missed?

@tLJ
Likely an auto-save that made it desync.

I have some ideas to changes that will let your elevator reach "floors". HMU if you're interested. (Genius work, well done!)

Link to your video guide how to past it on station please

For some reason when I use it it vibrates even when sitting completely still, is that normal or did I do something wrong?

I'm using the scripted version, but I find that it doesn't constantly go to the same height. It will work perfectly for 20-30 goes and then occasionally it gets missed timed and I go one too far. Do you have any tips to help prevent this?

I assume the issue has to do with CPU load or something else that might cause the system to hang for a frame or two.

A large grid version would be amazing, especially if it had added strength for transporting ships to low orbit

Do you think it'd be possible to convert this system into a large grid for cargo elevators?

@Dekroom my go for suspensions is a platform holded by 2 vertically aligned beams (attatched by hinge/rotors), where one of the rotors has a damping velocity

Pistons don't have any spring to them along the axis of extension and there's no "braking torque" kind of feature for them either. A better suspension would be to have a beam pressing against a 1x1 wheel suspension (which has spring to it) and having your normal wheel suspension at the bottom of that beam

Works amazingly! Btw do you think you'd be able to make a suspension system with one piston with a suspension wheel attached?

Been looking for creators like you who might've done it. Maybe that could be a new project for you? Anywho great work man 🙂

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Impressively smart.

I am making a 1:1 scale replica of the U.S.S. Lexington from the Mission Critical DOS game. I had an idea a long time ago to do something like this exact set up to make an elevator that was true to the game. I have a huge ship and trying to build an elevator that covers several decks. Unfortunately, the design team of the ship in the game made several errors in how the decks stack up together. I would need to build something similar to the turbo lift from Star Trek, able to move both up and down, and translate forward and back to replicate the experience in-game. thinking of tweaking this system with 2 dimensional capability with an elevator car that matches the in-game look (already have a blueprint for it).

~From thumbnail, this build looked stupid as fuck but then watching the video, you grasp how cool it is.

Wonder how it is on performance.

@seronis if you read you find this is just pure timer based + with version that script to simulate Precise Timers.
Timers just execute (action) On Off, cannot ask block value (property).
So no.

For your feature you want i suggest look into this script:
Easy Automation V2.0
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=694296356

BTW @BlackArmor Easy Automation V2.0 have Precise Timers and also simple math to count how many Rotor heads must your elevator go up/down.

I feel like this would take me months to build as a space elevator in survival mode.... :T

s m o o t h

OMG, I need to use this!!!!

what in the clang is this!

I would use large blocks for that

Can it be extended to outside the planets gravity for a space elevator?

Probably. Would be more stable to have a lift with one of these one each side

Can this also be made to carry say...Rovers and fighters into underground bunkers?

The script I used only affects timer delay lengths, so I can trigger actions in less than 1 second. So no

"Easy"

Is it possible for your script to check the grid coordinates of the rotor head it attaches to? If thats possible you could automate 'floors' just by referencing that coordinate

lol

@BlackArmor Doh! My apologies. I'm so dumb when excited

Thanks all, to address a few things:

Rubber Sword - I'll refer to my description above

Лепаж - Correct I didn't build with multi-floors in mind, that would be easy to implement with an On/Off type switch though.

the New Guy - Indeed, very stoked

I did this using the modded 1x1 small grid merge blocks in the past. I think this is a better method as it dossnt create/break grids and only attach/detaches sub grids

Haven't tried this yet - but am assuming it won't work on ships, only bases, correct?

cool, but the script is not designed to work with more than two floors. and this is the most important need for such buildings

I can only imagine how excited you were when this idea clicked in your mind. Genius!

oh my god !! , Is really perfect build , thanks

Merge blocks are vanilla and more stable.
Do you know you can attach BIG rotor head to small rotor block, yes?
That way you do not need wall made from small blocks.

My inspiration is I wanted a small elevator so I created one with the blocks available to me.

I see your inspiration is from sky elevator Keen has in menu video.

Yours is just Piston/Rotor based

master builder is back... thank youu
