Trouble building a second floor.

[wildgoose]

I'm able to build the lifts but for whatever reason I can't seem to connect to anything even when I go up a floor. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need some kind of upgrade to build another floor?

Loving the game btw, just had my entire crew wiped out for the first time and I wasn't expecting all the great sound fx that came along with my biosphere and ship being ripped apart.

Each lift needs at least one more directly above/below, but you can rotate the second lift however you want. Also make sure that whatever you're building above/below doesn't collide with another part of the ship.

Oooh awesome thanks

I should add that it doesn't actually tell you when there's a collision, and you don't see the full outline of the structure being placed to know. There's also "invisible" collisions over/under some structures, like the tractor beam, bridge, and maybe others I haven't seen yet.
Basically it's trial-and-error, since you recover 100% construction costs if you remove structures.

That collision, I think, comes from the height of the modules. The hangar, or Workshop III are very high, so you can't build anything right above it.
