how does an elevator work? is it just for npc's or am I doing something wrong?

I need some help with this. I am using some in my new space station but I am not sure how they work

Only NPCs and Robots (transport bots, etc) can use lifts.
Sadly players cant use them. I wish we could.

The lift itself is 3 blocks wide by 3 blocks deep. Just make sure it has foundations/floors around it on each floor you want something to enter and/or exit on, and continuous lift pipe between the floors.

Sadly you can't control their direction either - lift goes both up and down, at the same time, so an NPC going down a lift will just phase right through an NPC going the up the lift at the same time.
(I would like to be able to make one lift go only up, and a 2nd lift that only goes down, just to avoid that ...)

this makes me sad. I want to be whooshed around like the tubes in futurama.
