Space Elevator - Base Part

Initially, I planned to construct a complete space elevator system, including the base, cable, space station, and even the counterweight at the end. However, during the actual construction process, I overestimated my computer's capabilities (laptop, i7 12700H, 32G, RTX 3060 100W), which ultimately forced me to only realize the base and space station parts. Even these two parts had to exist in two separate save files (I built them separately, originally intending to merge all part s into one save file after completion). Whenever I tried to extend the cable structure (the current save file only has a 5km-high cable structure) or merge the two parts into one save file, the game would crash...



Therefore, I will introduce the base part and the space station part separately.
This save file is for the base part of the space elevator.
(The save file for the space station part has been included in the "Essential Items".)

The main structure of the base consists of 4 primary supports, around which a curved upper platform is built.

The upper platform leads directly to the space elevator car. The supports of the upper platform house the control center and reactor room.

The lower platform includes living areas, spacecraft landing platforms, cargo storage areas, and garages.

The living areas are equipped with facilities such as lounges, dormitories, a dining hall, a bar, and a medical room.

The spacecraft landing platforms include a terminal, 6 small landing platforms, and a large landing platform.

The large landing platform is used for larger spacecraft to land. Larger cargo, such as vehicles, can be transported directly from the large landing platform to the upper platform via vertical elevator shafts to enter the car.
Smaller aircraft can land on the small landing platform, which is directly connected to the cargo storage area. Light cargo can be transferred and stored here.

The cargo storage area is connected to the upper platform via inclined elevators inside the main supports. The cargo storage area is linked to the external main road through Y-shaped roads, while the upper platform is connected to the main road via large ramps. Each main road is equipped with a checkpoint to inspect ground vehicles entering the space elevator.

At the center of the main supports is the space elevator car. The lower level of the car is for cargo storage, while the upper level is for passengers.

PS: Due to the large size of the save file and the high number of blocks, longer loading times or even crashes may occur.
