elevator

How can I get from very high terrain to low and reverse? I have tried building conveyor belt between the levels but they won't reach.

What you you trying to get there? Stuff on the conveyor belts or Yourself?
Anyway, for conveyor belts, in the Awesome Shop are Floor Holes for Conveyor Lifts, and if you connect a lift hole to lift hole you get unlimited height.
for Yourself, Hypertubes

Even without conveyor holes, if you're just trying to go up or down a random cliff, you can chain conveyor lifts as far as you want. It's only individual segment length that's limited.

You can also use ramps, or coil the conveyor like a snake on top itself and make a Conveyor tornado that reaches the sky....

That doesn't work. When I aim from the top of the cliff I want to get down, aim down into space to try to make one segment that ends in the air, it says "Invalid aim location"

or "too long" and there doesn't seem to be a way to make a valid length

That is because it's too far away, build ramps

Alternately, Vertical zoop Foundations up, and run the conveyor to them, delete the foundations, the conveyor support needs a perch, when placing them, but can be remove after the fact.

I don't know what a Lift is, and I don't know what a Hypertube is, but I'll keep playing and maybe find out.

Ramps are only 4m high so I don't think that helps.

Conveyor Lifts, and floor holes for them are shown here

Hybertubes are a tube base Personal transport system, think those tubes at Drive up Tellers at banks, that use suction to move the canister from your to the teller and back.
Just it's you that goes thru the tube.
Now this is a Hybertube launch I made, and isn't the dev intended way to use them...

I take you don't know about Zoop,
Press R with Ramps selected, to Change build Mode to Zoop, set your location of the 1st ramp, click once and drag the mouse.

Oh wow, I haven't encountered any of those things. So there ARE ways to move stuff up and down, I just don't have them yet.

If you have access to foundations, you have access to Zoop. Like Fenix said, just press R while you have a foundation selected.

Zipline tool is probably the most fun way. It's pretty fast too, once you get the hang of jumping from line to line. You can't go straight up, but a forty five degree angle is no problem. All you need to do to reach a new spot is place a new power pole.

[some moron]

I haven't heard of zipline yet. But thanks.

ya, i wish (and hope) they add more decoration and non-factory idems to spruce up my buildings (factorys, town, train stations, outposts, ect.) especialy smaller lights and people elevators would be nice to.
