@Zoey ok

@XxB1mB0wXx You can always edit the engrams to change the construction costs of the item in question, look up some tutorials.

Question
can y make it for wooden Elevators to because if y build a wooden rafthous and there is a metal elevator ist not so cool and ist expensiv for early game

"Launch Mode" of an elevator:
And also think about an angle that can be set by the player, so the vertical rails are not fully vertical but slightly (or a lot) diagonal. What this would do: it would change the trajectory of the catapulted items (when in "Launch Mode"), and serve as far distance catapult of supplies to distant befriended bases even accross the island, or maybe as bringer of explosive rain from the skies to hostile HQs. Aiming over long distances is not easy, even if the radial menu has a setting to rotate left or right by just 1°. Have these rotation options: +-45°, +-10°, +-5°, +-1°, +-0.5°, +-0.1°. This should allow the players to get at least a bit close to the most distant targets. Much depends oin where you errect the elevator rails, players have to experiment and make some test shots probably with a player (with paraschute) who reports where (s)he lands. Ten rails = accross the entire island, and fewer rails mean shorter distances.

I use now the elevator of another modder, and I can set there the stop position. he did it this way: the platform moves slightly up and down at the target position, until the player uses the STOP command ("Advanced Rafts" mod, wooden elevator).

@Hirnsausen All parts should be paintable, though haven't tested it fully. The problem you are experiencing is the displacment is not fixable it's just the way the elevators act when put onto the moving objects. The suggestion may work with lots of customized scripts involved. Interesting sugggestions.

Another non-related suggestion
Often tamed animals following me fall down the elevator platform when trying to leave it following me. Therefore I suggest optional railings left and right that can be mounted to any platform (optional and not a must).

Yet another (crazy) suggestion
Vertical catapult elevator
Same parts, just one more option inside the radial menu: "Enable/Disable Launch Mode"
Depending on the amount of vertical rails, in "Launch Mode" the platform speeds up (still stopping at the top) and causes the player to be catapulted high into the air. Hopefully the player wears a paraschute. Cool for observations. One vertical rail catapults half tree-height, two catapult above trees, ..., ten catapult to just below upper edge of the atmosphere, eleven catapult the player into the Nirvana (punishment for bad tribal members or imprisoned members of hostile tribes).

Are all parts paintable? Would be nice.

PROBLEM REPORT
I tried to use them. I placed the vertical rail onto a raft's foundation, and added then the (small) platform. The problem I encountered is, that the platform was slightly below the surface of the foundation and when elevating upwards, it did not take me upwards despite that i stood with my feet at the right spot (but on the surface of the foundation and not the surface of the platform slightly below the foundation). I think, that is what causes the problem. that the platform is slightly below the surface of the foundation.

SUGGESTION
Add into the radial menu an option that allows the player to elevate (or lower) the platform "by hand" by tiny amounts until it has the correct position. That new position is then automatically saved as the correct floor level position for the future.

@Boomstick022: I am the Big Raft mod author. Just tested it and I am not seeing this issue. The elevators are going all the way up 20 tracks high and no issues, I have one facing out and one facing toward the platform.

@Boomstick022 Well I know for sure it works on my raft mod so if you don't want to use vanilla rafts you can use my infinite building rafts http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=800094071

@Zoey - I seem to have found the issue which is not the elevator mod, but Big Raft's Barge. I tested it on the standard vanilla ark Raft (No Issues) and then tested it on the Big Raft (same thing just modded) and it worked fine. Guess its back to the building board. Still don't know why it won't work right on the barge from Big Rafts...

@Boomstick022 I've never had that happen to me. If you are using the raft elevator tracks and platforms it should work semi-fine other than some glitches now and then. The way you describe the elevator flipping it could be the raft mod it's self, you could try picking it up and re-placing it a few times.

Love the idea of where this mod can go however when I placed the tracks and a small elevator platform on the barge from the Big Raft Mod, the elevator actually flipped 90 degrees vertical when it hit the top of the track. Is this normal or is there a way to fix it?

The elevators work fine on saddles/rafts but they tend to glitch out sometimes, only way to fix it is to pick it up and place it back down.

Great mod Zoey, thank you.

So as you say, elevators on raft would be buggy and also on platform saddles, right? I really need it on my Quetzal and Bronto.

@Nicola Update the mod in what way?

Do you have any plans to update this mod? I really need it for my server... :(

(LOL dont mind the Icon) I really hope this works, I have 3 servers and will let you know how it works out, I really need this. Thanks for working on this I hope you get everything worked out.

Sweet! This will go quite nicely with my ship from the advanced rafts mod. Now I can make a elevator to store dinos under the deck :)

Thanks.

The elevator can be painted, Rails/Elevators can go onto platforms, haven't quite tested that a lot, the small elevator is about 2 floors in size.

1
Can this awesome elevator be painted? Would be useful.
2
And I also want to be able to mount rails on the sides of the platform.
3
Does the platform of the Small Elevator measures one floor in size?

Currently the mod works in my singleplayer and on my dedicated server, perhaps it's another issue?

tried several times, starting when the mod is enabled theIsland and theCenter, pity, I need to disable the mod

Placing a thatch roof and a wall then attaching the elevator track will slightly life it off the raft's base level allowing it to be above the raft, the move lag is not anything I can fix sadly.

nice job! but please fix the elevator (going down of the raft to the water) x_x and move lag

"Reported" lol, I will give like for this mod just cuz of this guy.

Oh noes.

Reported.
