Elevator for lifting logs on tall buildings
Judging by the large number of videos on YouTube, many players build tall buildings and one of the problems is how to lift logs to the top.

And I saw three options:

1. Make a building with a wide base in which you can install "circular" stairs. The disadvantage of this method is that the perimeter of the house will be very large (5x5 squares if we want to hide the stairs inside).

2. Pull the rope. The disadvantage of this method is that at first you need to somehow raise the logs up so that you can install this cable and close one of the walls so that the logs do not fly away into the distance.

3. Create scaffolding. The area of ​​my tower is 2x2 squares. The downside of this method is that to build a 10-story building, you need to install scaffolding in the form of an isosceles triangle with sides of 10x10 squares - this is 130 logs.

My idea is to add a construction elevator to the game that can be loaded with logs and lifted to the correct height. The player will then be able to climb with a rope, for example. Personally, this is exactly what I do when building the frame of a building.

For example, we loaded the required number of logs into the elevator (I suggest 6 as in storage), pressed the action button and the elevator went up. The player climbs to a height and takes logs out of the elevator. Then he presses the action button and the elevator goes down.

It would give another use for the 800 million miles of rope we collect. I posted some other ideas using the rope in the suggestions thread. Such as using ropes to make draw bridges, to tie logs together to prevent them from rolling down hills and stuff.

Using rope to hold up logs could also be useful for creating traps, or building in more interesting places.
