Is it possible to make an elevator?

[Charles Dickinson]

this is a cool idea because i currently just have a ladder going to my roof of the building to access my gyro and runway. If its not possible it would be an sick addition to the game.

Yes and no. The coding for a prototype is still there. It has never been official.

<block name="elevatorTest">

It can be modded in, At least it could in A16.

You would need to edit the block, and make it craftable by adding it into the recipes.xml.

Back before water was reworked, it was possible to make water elevators. Emptying a bucket of water from a high altitude would cause the water to duplicate on the way down, and you could ride the tower of water up and down

Fun times

I imagine that would still work if you built an enclosure and then poured in multiple buckets of water. The problem would be that your swimming speed is absolutely terrible now.

I *think* they 'fixed' that a long time ago. Haven't tried in ages though, so I can't say for sure.

"Fixed" debatable. Lots of people liked "Hatchevators"

elevators?

with power doors, electrical weapons, and such... can we get an elevator? or something? I'm guessing the devs will say it will flub the AI pathing and such.. but why not? Darkness Falls has one. Though, it wouldn't be that big really. just a one block radius. lol worth a shot

I don’t think it’s really necessary to have elevators. I can’t imagine it would stuff up the AI path finding either since I can imagine that only the player can access the elevator buttons, so I think that’s out of the question. Only reason I could see for an elevator is if you have a huge tall building or you need to move vehicles upwards.

Why don't they just make a craftable elevator, even if it's something crude with gears and pulleys like in Conan Exiles?

As a rule of thumb, threads started during a previous alpha are too old to resurrect. You may start a new thread with a link to the old one, if you like. Closing this thread under our rule against necroposting.
