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.

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.

Works very fine on space station and large grids. I love this mod, easy to use until you watch youtube video. Great work!

Man this mod is dope. Just sucks it breaks with ME. hopefully it wont be an issue in the future.

hey could u do a middle floor with doors on both sides instead of just one
Hayssen Plaid Oct 11 @ 12:30am 
Is there any reason that you have to use the top block? I don't like the doors going down orientation (unlike the rest of the blocks), and it seems to work with just middle blocks at the top...

Been using the mod on my server awhile now. One thing I think would be nice is double sided door blocks, so you can have two exit points, 'front and rear'.

I love this mod! Got so tired of building elevators manually. One thing to note, maybe I did it in the wrong order, but for me I had to go to the settings for the base rotor and add a rotor head for the cabin to appear.

the mes conflict affects the server - after every restart all the cabiin buttons stop working and i have to manually despawn them with creative mode than change back to survival

can you pls look over the mod? after restarting the session i can reset every time the cabin

bknight1954: This has been asked for many times. It is what it is. Elevators don't go Horizontally they Elevate.
