Elevators after 1.3 update - Solution Found

[Random]

Whatever angle I hit the bounce web... shoots me in the opposing direction
(with like-minded force)since 1.3's update - so, slightly janky.
But going up, also seems to bounce you away from lift too.



Solution!!
To avoid being shot out on the 'up' wall use;
'1/2 height wide Grass walls' OR 'Sturdy Grass walls'.

Everything else, has an edge that boops you out if you smack a lipped edge.

Anyone?

Mine from 1.2 still works for some reason, though the one I tried to build in Creative to test out 1.3 didn't work at all.

I am on a new Whoa run, so I don't need my tower yet, but I will play with it this weekend for sure.

Thanks for posting Nefai
I read through your posts the other day, before posting this.

As explained...
New/old, story/creative, solo/shared - doesn't seem to matter.
I get the same results, unfortunately.

I have one playthrough from before the yard was complete, that I've maintained through patching.
With roughly 400+ hours in it, it's honestly the only run I care much for.

I guess play will need to try again, after dev team fixes this...
Which might take weeks, considering x-play update approval time guidelines.
Maybe with it just being M$, an update will roll out faster.

I am trying to figure out how my old one still works. Maybe that's the key.

It was a 1.2 Multiplayer save, that I converted to a local save in 1.3. That's the only way I can think it would be different than anyone else's save files.

I moved to a new computer not that long ago, so I only have that one save file to play with, when I played with a friend very briefly, like 10 hours.

So to answer my own question after a lot of testing...

'1/2 height wide Grass walls' OR 'Sturdy Grass walls'.

I don't have a wall on the front edge of my elevator, just the back edge. Maybe that's why mine never stopped working.

I don't know if this might help but you can adjust the angle of the bouncing web while building.

Na, you just hit the 'edges faster', thus pushing you away quicker or entirely halting 'up' momentum.

Still waiting for the eventual "actual elevator" update.

The devs need to fix this. I am not going to replace anything. It always worked fine. If not fixed i will just play another game. Their loss..

all my elevator towers from my old save still work, but building new ones (with v1.3+ i think) was always my problem, since everything now gets placed at weird angles or snaps to a very nonsensical and therefore useless "grid". :/
my skillpoints/molars are broken in my current save, so if those walls are smoother, then it might make starting fresh a little less painful. i'm still not ready to commit yet, but thank you for the tip!
