Description
THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SPACE ELEVATOR
The 200 block limit is in place for the reasons of game performance. If that limit were increased it tanks game performance up to and including crashing the game or I would have released it with more than a 200 block limit. Many people have asked about those limits wanting to make a space elevator out of it. Being a space elevator is not the intention of this mod. It's intended to be an elevator in a Station. It does not work on moving vehicles, either, because there are loose, floating, parts in it = Klang and Bang then kaboom when it's placed on a moving vehicle.


WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO GRIND THE CABIN BUTTONS OR FLOOR.
GRIND THE ROTOR BLOCK OUTSIDE, NOT THE BUTTONS.
If you have mistakenly done this close the game, remove the mod and launch the game without it, then save and reload the mod. There is a reason the buttons can't be deleted or ground directly = it crashes the game if the code is changed to do that.


Tested and working May 7, 2025. Works but a conflict with Modular Encounters System was found.
That MES conflict should not effect multiplayer games.

How to build it (YouTube Video):
https://youtu.be/kl50Cm57x_Y

Text Version of how to build it:
1. Place a VCZ Elevator Bottom block. (must be on a powered grid).
2. Place a VCZ Elevator Rotor block. (NOT the VCZ Elevator Rotor Base block).
3. Place VCZ Elevator Fillers and Middle blocks for multiple floors as needed.
4. Place a VCZ Elevator Top block.
Done.

How to build it with the Rotor Base
1. Place the Rotor Base block under where you want your bottom floor.
2. Place a Middle or Double Middle Block.
3. Build the rest as needed and place an elevator Top block on the top.

If you'd like to build it down from the top follow the above instructions backwards.

February 23, 2025. Working.
May 7, 2025. Working, but issue confirmed after a report that there's a conflict with MES.


Known Issues:
1. If MES (Modular Encounters Systems) is also active the buttons break and stop working in single player after leaving and reloading the game.
- Workaround "fix": Grind away the rotor block (from the outside, do not grind the buttons or cabin!!!!) and replace it.

using this somehow breaks my solar panels/oxygen farms its inconsistent so i cant be sure, it may be some sort of conflict with something else i have but when welding the pieces it also sucks my suits power sometimes and i think that's whats causing my bases power to overload, when i remove the blocks and remove it from my mod list everything start working again, just wondering if anyone else had similar issues

nothingtamer45. Read things like the comments before yours and description text.

@Pavel "Another way to solve the problem with the not working cabin after loading the game: go to the control panel on the Rotor Base block and click Reset Cabin, then click Add Rotor Head."

YES, this works! Thanks!:steamhappy:

Damn, if I knew earlier that MES conflicts with this elevator :(
I assume it's not safe to remove MES or this mod from my current save?

Другой способ обойти баг с нерабочим лифтом после загрузки: в блоке Rotor base нажать Reset Cabin и потом Add Rotor Head. Именно в таком порядке, иначе игра вылетит.

Another way to solve the problem with the not working cabin after loading the game: go to the control panel on the Rotor Base block and click Reset Cabin, then click Add Rotor Head.

I have a problem with the mod in multiplayer. I built everything according to the instructions, and it worked perfectly. But after we save and log in again later, the elevator can still be called, but you can no longer select a floor inside the cabin. This happens every time we restart the game.
If we remove the rotoblock and rebuild it, it works again.
We're not using a dedicated server — I'm hosting directly through the game.

@bigbadvoodoodady_1 . Your questions are answered in the video and in the description text. Only this version is supported here. I'm not aware of another version available that actually works.

So, it's impossible to go from one floor, to the next floor up?

Tried both versions, and neither of them worked. Meaning there has to be one block between top and bottom?

Stay in school, and pay attention while you're there. Do your homework.
