[DEPRECATED] Ski Chair Lift

Description
Get the new CHAIR LIFT pack



Decided to see if I could adapt the existing ski chair lift assets into a working cable car system, and it worked for the most part, though it's not perfect. Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent passengers from riding down from the summit.

Found in Public Transport > Cable Car menu
• Chair Lift Terminal (Ski Lift Main Terminal)
• Chair Lift Terminus (Ski Lift Return Terminal)
• Chair Lift Cables (Ski Tower + cable car cables)

Don't forget to also grab the Chair Lift vehicle.

The Ski Lift Cables need some finessing with Move It!, lowering the pillars down on each node so they line up with the cables. (Select Buildings only with Move It! to lower the pillar and not the node). Had to be done this way to match the width of the pillar to the cables.

The main terminal and terminus start out with sunken ground (it was the only way to get the platform nodes lowered to the correct spot), but since they don't flatten terrain you can raise the building up to ground level after plopping or terraform around it. Placeable on ground or roadside, but requires a road connection. Electricity is needed, but there's no garbage, sewage, water, or workers so that it doesn't need to be connected to an outside road network for any services. Use any road of your choosing but I recommend the invisible ski trails from the linked ski resort pack.

The cables line up well with the main terminal, but in order to match the width of the cables to the return bullwheel, the building isn't long enough for the station segment length and there's a small gap between it and the cables. The buildings also are a little high for riders to actually board/dismount, a small tradeoff for a functional system.

New version out, much better models and a gravitative chair. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2738983160

@Ciar Aon: thank you so much! That would be very much appreciated <3

I'll be releasing version 2 in the next day or two with much better models and functional design.

@my.phax.limit it is possible, I'll see about making a prop version when I finalize the new version.

Is it possible to turn the pillars of this chair lift into props that can be used in every map? I would really like to use these in some maps without the DLC just for decoration but apparently the last ones I had were deleted by the creator.

Thanks for your awesome work btw!

Having the pack featured on the One Hour Build Challenge has motivated me to revisit the Chair Lift system. I just learned how to edit 3d models so now I have in testing a height fixed version of the Ski Lift Cables with 5 pillar types at varying angles activated at different elevations, single cables instead of double cables on either side, gravitative chairs, and hopefully ground level station stops instead of 2nd floor so the nodes don't lower the terrain of the terminal/terminus (still trying to figure this last one out). Will try to extend the length of the terminus too so it's 2 units in length to stop the gap in the cables. Coming soon.

@gim190 This Ski Chair Lift pack is just a modified cable car system to get skiers up the slopes. The skier staging area from the other pack is a 4 stop bus terminal, the skier spawn point is a sightseeing bus spawn point, and ski trails are invisible roads. You create sightseeing bus routes on the Ski Trails with the Skier sightseeing bus using IPT2 so you have moving skiers going down the slopes.

I have used it, but i don't see skiers going up and down. Is it normal? If yes what the "Skiers stage area" and the "ski path" are for? Thanks for an answer

Sweet, thanks! Linked.

Hello. I made and published ski chair lift about couple minutes ago. It is working perfectly and looks not bad. check out here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938340681&searchtext=chair+lift

Awesome! If you get a working cable car vehicle, I'll definitely link to it.

It might be nice to have a variant with 1 skier and another with 2 skiers, but since there's no way to restrict the vehicles per stop, maybe just an empty one is best.
