Can't use the elevator track to elevate/de elevate
This is kinda bs. We can't use the elevator track to elevate or de-elevate the elevator anymore? Is there any reason for this? The only thing I can do with mine is demolish it. I had to go to my main base, get a bird, and fly back just to lower the elevator. Not even anything in th patch notes? Why is this a thing??

uh is the track you are looking at powered? not had this happen unless gas has run out or something smashed a power outlet.

It was powered. I could use the actual elevator platform just fine. Might've just been a client bug, but after I relogged it still happened. I'll try validating my game to see if that works

I had the same problem. Quitting the game and restarting our server solved the problem for me.

I have the same issue as of 21st of September 2020... I have 2 elevators, one of them I can call no problem via the track, the other I can't they were both built at the same time... I noticed on one occasion that they both worked after coming back to the game the next day, and I was relieved as that seemed to be the fix, but it's been broken ever since...

It works fine when you're on the platform, but the track controls are not available...

I've been playing the game for 6 months... and the conclusion I've came to is that Wildcard just don't give a ♥♥♥♥, I won't buy another game from them, there are more bugs than features in the game, and apparently a lack of ability or plain interest to resolve them.

Wow, I just happened to stumble on this. As it happens I just erected my first elevator yesterday. I also noticed that the track did not provide any function. However I thought that was intended. I only now recognize the issue that will cause.

Heh, I use S+ and always build an elevator callbox at each level...I didn't even realize that default game didn't have those and required you to interact with the track until I saw this thread.

Going into the elevator shaft in order to reach the track to call an elevator seems dangerous...

Flying out of the area so it despawns seems to do the job guys. Once you're back obviously. =)
