It took me like all day, but I got this bad boy in my base and it's the best elevator I've found.

Will this work for being printed and also 0 dlc?
kinngrimm 14 Feb, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
k, thanks for response anyways and i am looking forward to your next projects

Sounds a little tricky and I'm not sure if it would stay in sync across two units.

As always i am amazed by your work. If i may ask about a related problem of mine. Situation is i have a huge whole in teh ground build by an inch worm and i want to let that inch worm built an elivator, which would go over a radius of roughly 18 to 20 large block radius. Would two of your elevator shafts be able to carry a plattform in the middle of them both to carry large ships up and down? Would they stay in sync?

Awesome job. I know a lot of work went into this design.

DLC required.
Anyway nice Lift

It's just the small grates on the ramp, could be replaced with panels now
Frontrider 13 Feb, 2022 @ 6:47pm 
Is the DLC necessary for it to work?
BlackArmor  [author] 15 Jan, 2022 @ 6:38pm 
Sounds right Glare

@lord_azryell i think you forgot to disconnected the connector on the bottom with the right most button
Lord Azryell 4 Jan, 2022 @ 1:29am 
i go in
I press the up button
i press the go button
entrance go up
the elevator stay at the bottom and don't go up

I can't replicate your problem. Did you change the speed?
Ri Yong-gil 27 Sep, 2021 @ 8:34pm 
is there a reason the elevator goes up and down so fast when going down it breaks from the speed and going up it gets stuck in the wheel dampeners ?
BlackArmor  [author] 21 Sep, 2021 @ 6:09pm 
The grates on the entrance ramp
akira 21 Sep, 2021 @ 6:07pm 
any reason for it to require DLC? is it for the block shapes?
Victic2002 4 Sep, 2021 @ 9:28am 
Cool, another great blueprint that most can't use since it needs DLC. Great workshop item but terrible game devs
BlackArmor  [author] 3 Sep, 2021 @ 3:37pm 
Yes and yes

Just curious, I saw this video on Youtube while looking for elevator ideas as my creative flame is more like a dust mote, and really liked the idea. Do you think it would be viable to scale this up to make a small craft / large craft cargo elevators? Additionally do you think it would support a diagonal lift design perhaps using two tracks?

Freaking brilliant! Awesome man!
RainbowSkyDancer 31 Jul, 2021 @ 11:36pm 
amazing work
EnjoyCoke 20 Jul, 2021 @ 5:07pm 
Use a script/ sensor to have the elevator stop when it reaches a connection pointer below/ above the elevator box. AM GENIUS!
EnjoyCoke 20 Jul, 2021 @ 5:00pm 
For bigger gear, use the blue outer-rim, as its circumference won't impact its gear shape. WOO - am genius.

You can't project subgrids
PreVenti 6 Jul, 2021 @ 10:00am 
I'm not able to build it somehow :c
On top of the elevator are overlapping blocks wich I can't buid, and the elevator itself wont show up in the projector. What am I doing wrong?
BlackArmor  [author] 4 Jul, 2021 @ 5:59am 
The same as it does on a planet
iMurmis 3 Jul, 2021 @ 3:44am 
Very cool! But how does an elevator work on a ship in space while in motion?
Grand Moff Pitchkins 3 Jul, 2021 @ 2:23am 
Thanks for the reply. I am getting the clanging noises and this seems to never end - is this normal? Whenever I add a block to it to attach it it jolts and makes load bangs too. Thanks again.
BlackArmor  [author] 2 Jul, 2021 @ 2:16pm 
There are superficial sparks that don't cause any harm
Grand Moff Pitchkins 2 Jul, 2021 @ 10:07am 
Great build. I am guessing that the lift will always be filled with the blessings of Clang though?
BlackArmor  [author] 2 Jul, 2021 @ 5:58am 
Think no more
Kolljak 2 Jul, 2021 @ 5:54am 
you madman. ive been thinking how to make something like this.
Errix 1 Jul, 2021 @ 9:39am 
ohh wow! I wished i knew this 2 yeas ago - would have helped me sooo much!
Amazing work!
MISCLICK 30 Jun, 2021 @ 11:08am 
Absolutely love this.
BlackArmor  [author] 29 Jun, 2021 @ 9:45am 
Strelok thanks a bunch. The buttons have not taken damage from what I've seen. The cart may tilt a little bit but once it comes back to the bottom it resets itself. I don't think it can physically tilt enough to come out of the tracks because of the small spacing between the cart and the track.

Very well done. The video intro (with your name being assembled was also cool).
The Directional indicator was a great addition, and over all the last 3 iterations of the elevator shown in the video looked good.

Did you ever have issues with buttons on the carriage being damaged by the stops (wheels) at the top? Did you ever have one side thrown too far out of alignment?
BlackArmor  [author] 28 Jun, 2021 @ 5:10pm 
The updated hitboxes make this viable now. I wouldn't have attempted it before
Skuzzlebutt 28 Jun, 2021 @ 3:14pm 
@McTec Ind. Not really Fallout but I had a go already :steamhappy:

This is genius. I can already see you using large gears as a vault door a'la Fallout. Smoothly done. I've never thought gears/clockwork would be a viable thing in SE (well we did try, but it was almost impossible before they updated the hitboxes).
Razor_Fluff 28 Jun, 2021 @ 8:26am 
Seen the video earlier today and found it here nice job :D

Mojo 27 Jun, 2021 @ 6:49pm 
I made this to save folks some time so they can add to your existing elevator, or set up one of their own a bit faster. All credit goes to you and is linked to your elevator.

That would be sweet man
Cam 27 Jun, 2021 @ 10:00am 
awesome man, im gonna have to see if i can get a hanger built that the whole floor drops out using gears instead of stupid pistons
BlackArmor  [author] 27 Jun, 2021 @ 9:55am 
CAM - It can be adapted for that yes. The system can be scaled up with large platforms or more gears.

TheCadmie - Thanks, enjoy

Mojo - Everyone needs breaks. I step away from the game for months at a time when it becomes more like work and less fun. But inspiration will always bring you back so good to hear that.
Cam 27 Jun, 2021 @ 9:45am 
this is really neat... could you adapt it to say a vehicle elevator?
gggrechka_ 27 Jun, 2021 @ 8:39am 
Very cool elevator!:steamthumbsup:
Mojo 27 Jun, 2021 @ 8:31am 
I just wanted you to know I had vowed never to play SE again.

Seeing your last elevator, you Sir, inspired me to install the game again and start tinkering with some of my old "abandoned" projects. I had some great ideas inspired just from your first elevator, then I felt the "burnout" coming on again. Then you go and make this, which now has me inspired once again.

Long story short, you do great work. Keep it up!
Korvatus Klok 27 Jun, 2021 @ 7:17am 
Have you thought about adapting this idea for a vault door from fallout?
