These elevatorss are nice... The glass is not vizible, but that's not the problem, the problem is its too slow. Making it a bit faster would be perfect!

needs to be updated to latest version

well. I loved his mod for years and its finnaly broken :(
Ladders I suppose and a redesign for almost every base and ship i got :(

@MegaManX try "VCZ Multifloor Elevator" (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1154898843) . It'll do up to 9 stops and you select which decks, so you could have one run to just the stops where the other 9-floor elevator begins, like some office buildings do. However, it has to be moved to your very first mod or it'll cause a lot of crashes -- and if it's in the first mod position, it'll only cause *some* crashes.

I like Eikester's better because it's more stable and I don't have a 32-deck monstrous ship to deal with.

i have a bug witch the sound..

@MegaManX the problem is that the current elevator is basically a heavily modified door-type block (if I remember correctly) hence why it only has a single switch for controls. So an entirely new mod would probably be required for DIY elevators (I recommend the Transporters mod otherwise and use small transporter pads as a pseudo-elevator).

The problem I have is that I have a 32 deck starship and would like to reduce the number of elevators. I'd love to see a Door Block(stopping point) and a shaft block(non-stopping). With a simple call switch on the outside and with up/down buttons in the cab.

I think a fifty block 2-floor elevator would be useful for really tall structures.
Cheesed to meet you Apr 14, 2017 @ 8:54pm 
I can't walk into or out of the bottom door on the 3x11, am i doing it wrong?

bonjour j'ai un problème avec les élevateurs sur un vaisseau sa fonctionne mais pas dans ma station pourquoi ?
xStartoy Feb 9, 2017 @ 5:10am 
Hello :D can you create the same elevator but 3x3 sides, I want to put a small vehicle in it
Wingstrike Jan 25, 2017 @ 8:23am 
@Biotoxic stand inside, move to the front right corner of the elevator and turn left, keep pressing F until you hear it beep. It takes practice but that's the quick way to do it while the inside button is being fixed. Or you use the terminal if you have an antenna on the grid and control it through there.
chroamor Jan 24, 2017 @ 4:19pm 
how do i activate it to the inside?
Badcrumble Jan 19, 2017 @ 11:04pm 
someone may have already asked this way down below, but is there a way to pick your desired floor for the multi-level one? That would be pretty cool and useful
Hans Krupp Dec 31, 2016 @ 3:44am 
Thanks for keeping us updated ;) AND GOOD PARTY TONIGHT EVERYONE !!!!!
Eikester  [author] Dec 30, 2016 @ 7:15pm 
i am going to update this mod next to fix some smaller issues, like the buttons not working. Also i think i found a way to have it travel faster without clipping trough the floor, i already have a rough prototype script ready and tested with 5-500m/s without any issues in my sp testworld but of course need to test this in multiplayer etc, i dont promise anything but it looks good so far
florianfinn Dec 30, 2016 @ 1:52pm 
Nice Work! it will be cool, if there is an elevator to 5 or 6 blocks high and only 2 floors (ground,top) and faster travel ;)
Hans Krupp Dec 21, 2016 @ 11:10am 
Will be cool to add more button for the multi-level elevator , like "down" and "up" to be more fateste to travel tru floors ? :)
Eikester  [author] Dec 19, 2016 @ 12:37pm 
i will investigate this when i redesign them
OcN.Helbrecht Dec 19, 2016 @ 12:22pm 
Why doesn't the interior button work? is it because of the newest update?
dominicawb Dec 17, 2016 @ 3:08pm 
yep the interior button no longer works. Still think it would be far more stable to lock the occupant when moving too.
VALT13L Dec 16, 2016 @ 2:59am 
CANNOT live without this mod on my saves, brilliant :) thank you for continuing to support this mod, hope the update comes soon :)
AmbassadorPineapple Dec 13, 2016 @ 10:59am 
One fatal flaw I noticed is that the inside elevator button doesn't work, on the 4x1x1 as far as I know.
Adel Oct 10, 2016 @ 11:01am 
I use this elevator for my base what can i do to avoid falling throught the elevator
ShieldKnight857 Sep 22, 2016 @ 12:37pm 
So cool. : ) I was just thinking of the days before pistons and it's amazing to see how people even made elevators. Now with this awesome mod, pistons look extremely hard. Thanks!
Hans Krupp Sep 16, 2016 @ 6:52am 
Nice mod ! i used it on my DS and it's really cool but can be a bit more faster can be cool and maybe a "custom"elevator like 1 block for cabine and 1 for the "tube" x) cause the tall one is cool but we don't always need the second floor only the first and third :x .
Daywalker Sep 15, 2016 @ 6:55am 
after the new update your clipping throu the elevator when going up/down
tatu36 Sep 13, 2016 @ 3:11pm 
if its in the game its gona be great!
tatu36 Sep 13, 2016 @ 3:10pm 
What if there was a custome size for this elevator mod so we can make one to space!
Waldo Sep 12, 2016 @ 7:25pm 
love this mod...anyway you could make an elevator where the top door is on the reverse side?
Reigdaer Sep 8, 2016 @ 11:18am 
dude this mod is awesome, i love it :D

for a sugestion, what about make it faster and bigger for more people or even vehicles :D
Azzameen [Aut] Jul 26, 2016 @ 11:20pm 
You re doing a great job in creating this Elevator mod.
Do you think you could do one for 2 blocks high floors ?
with best regards
Azzameen
XY-Gaoji Jul 2, 2016 @ 6:21pm 
very good
DMMWolf Jun 30, 2016 @ 4:17pm 
Like what you did, but these are a good example of Lag kills at the moment.
Cuddle Time Jun 24, 2016 @ 5:23am 
@nai249 yes it work (i know i tested it). But dont try to come into the one elevator together.
nai249 Jun 24, 2016 @ 4:37am 
Does anyone know if this works in multiplayer??
Edeaw Jun 24, 2016 @ 3:21am 
Very great work. I'm glad about the new sizes in.. tomorrow? ;-)
Cuddle Time Jun 22, 2016 @ 10:15am 
you can make the same elevators but on big height? Interests me at the length from 5 to 10 BUT with stops floor only below and in the top.
Simply it is the only beautiful elevator working NOT at pistons. But are long obviously isn't enough. So if you can add to the fashions of a variation from 5-10 by height but without intermediate stops - that I would be simply happy.
Major_P0tat0 Jun 20, 2016 @ 10:40pm 
I have a problem where the elevator gets depressurized with going in different block levels [floor to floor]
dave_pilot Jun 15, 2016 @ 7:54am 
does this work in multiplayer? :)
jfuman00 Jun 13, 2016 @ 6:51pm 
Is elevator music included?
Alpha 1701 Jun 4, 2016 @ 4:03pm 
Don't think that's possible, it's a door.
Bastrian Jun 4, 2016 @ 1:34pm 
Works great on Server. So far no Problems with it. A suggestion about the Oxygen: What if you fill it with oxygen?
zeph112 Jun 2, 2016 @ 6:51pm 
theres a bug with the 5 block elevator i keep faling through the floor
Ferret✞ Jun 1, 2016 @ 1:13pm 
Modular would be great, if possible. May be a lot of work on your end, but it will save you fromhaving to make a dozen (or more) sizes. Maybe this would allow it to be customizable so the elevator does not stop on all floors in between origin and destination.

Great mod by the way, I love it.
deimosx6 Jun 1, 2016 @ 11:50am 
@tjcotter25 3 types - elevator base, elevator floor and elevator tube and make unidirection elevator (easy start 2 - 90" )
tjcotter25 Jun 1, 2016 @ 8:21am 
how about making it modular as others have suggested her but also if possible have it so the door level could be renamed and the script could then be set so you could assign a button to a floor so the elevator would go direct to that floor like a real elevator instead of calling at every floor with a door
The Sage of Games May 31, 2016 @ 1:05am 
I agree with WTG gaming. A modular elevator would alow for customization by th user and would ake for a more streamlined mod via only neding the tube modules and the elevator itself.
Israely Mad May 30, 2016 @ 2:41pm 
everytime i use the elevator, i phase through the floor of the elevator, any help?
Alpha 1701 May 26, 2016 @ 7:39pm 
What do you mean "best" elevator mod? I haven't seen any others.
