Gear Elevator

Description
Go to 11:00 of the video ^ for demo. No mods, no scripts.
Another demo clip: https://www.reddit.com/r/spaceengineers/comments/o89qai/gear_elevator/


Description:

After playing with gear concepts I ended up with a reliable, small grid elevator design that can be used in stations and ships.


Features:
- Gear-Propelled Elevator
- Any Size/Height Track
- Stop on Any Floor
- RC Block to Call from Another Floor
- Connector Station for Recharge and Copy/Paste/Jump
- Works in Space, Works in Moving Ships


CLARIFICATION:
- I did not add any floors because I want this to be compatible with anyone's previously made design. It was made to be paste and play. This is why I have a very simple call function with the RC block.
- Once floors are constructed, you could make a more sophisticated call function using sensors, connectors, merge blocks ect.


Comments are welcomed, enjoy!

It took me like all day, but I got this bad boy in my base and it's the best elevator I've found.

Sounds a little tricky and I'm not sure if it would stay in sync across two units.

As always i am amazed by your work. If i may ask about a related problem of mine. Situation is i have a huge whole in teh ground build by an inch worm and i want to let that inch worm built an elivator, which would go over a radius of roughly 18 to 20 large block radius. Would two of your elevator shafts be able to carry a plattform in the middle of them both to carry large ships up and down? Would they stay in sync?

It's just the small grates on the ramp, could be replaced with panels now

Is the DLC necessary for it to work?
