Elevator
The small base to the right has a elevator does it work?

Nah, not yet at least. Eventually I think we'll make it repairable or something.

What's about making it craftable? It's just an idea, so...
But I already was asking this question myself .

Yeah, we've been working on elevators, so they will be craftable eventually regardless.

So, I'm kinda cheating with dev mode, and since the elevator can be created in projects with that on, how do you make it move? I tried on another world and it worked only on the inside of the shaft, like not at the bottom?

You stand on it and press up or down, W or S by default. The way it is coded right now, it has to have a block along either the left or the right side to allow it to move. If you right click on the little platforms you get when you build the project, it will try and move the elevator platform to that level.

Thanks, I didn't realize that it would need a block next to it, that was the real problem!

Yeah my elevator does not move with the W or S. Regardless. Is it a certain type of block that is needed on the right or left? Ive tried it on the right side, and dirt blocks on both sides and still nothing happends.

I don't know, I placed the elevator shaft block, maybe you need that instead, I really don't know. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I thought it worked with every block, but it looks like you need to use either metal blocks or any of the craftable blocks.

I've just successfully 'repaired' the elevator in the mining base by using dev mode to place a working elevator in the shaft after a little cleanup. When I ran into the problem of how to have metal blocks on either side of the shaft at the bottom preventing us from disembarking, I used a Tech Door on either side. The elevator works nicely now and the doors auto-open to let us walk through the lift space.

PS: Is there a hotkey to toggle the auto-mapper on our MEG tool? If not, could we please have one?

I know what my problem was and why I couldn't use it with doors on both sides, I placed the actual elevator block at the bottom of the whole thing. Ah well
