We need a vertical conveyor belt

This makes it possible to make efficient use of space and build a compact factory

There are freight elevators. Their footprint is 4x3. Bigger than some would like of course, but that should seem like nothing after you get to placing modular buildings.

yea but you get multiple connection points. Not sure if you can move different items through it.

And building menu instead of building craft, and more inventory slots, and more panel slots, and crouch, and bigger building stats panels. This game lacks a lot of QoL stuff.

I don't understand this complaint... one belt, one item? Do people really place multiple items on one belt?

You can, but there's no guarantee the input order will match the output order, even with filter loaders. It's a pain to deal with so the consensus seems to be just don't.

I mean I guess it's fine as long as your input speed doesn't exceed the capacity, but unless you can guarantee everything keeps running, if one of the output belts stops, eventually it will jam the other material's input.

Map's infinite. USE IT! :D

don't build cramped, just have 6 assemblers constantly stuffing a container with building platforms and few making you belts and accessories and use all the space in the world. Then freight elevator is nothing :)

The freight elevator is too big, and switchbacks are annoying to set up, especially with multiple lanes.
We need a 1x2 base with 1x2 rotating head vertical lift with expanding shaft badly
And the Freight Elevator really is only good for a single item. not multiples
Well One up and one down it works fine on...

Only as long as these new vertical conveyors require placing each section manually, like current horizontal belts do. And they should not dig ground on their own.

I don't want them to dig, just expand vertically, like Techtonica

Techtonica has done a fantastic job with conveyors. That said, I don't mind the way they are implemented here, I'm glad they are not the same as it gives me variety to solve a puzzle.
