I hear building on top of a mountain will save resources and help with the grid length limit etc... however, unless players already have an industrial base staged up at the top, they will still need to connect from their industrial base to the mountain top, which takes resources. Either way, it involves resources not matter where one builds their elevator from.

the welders keep crashing or hitting the build

oh this guy Is so wholesome i want to play with him. Also maybe he could take a look at my space elevators because even after the 37th prototype it still doesn't work ...

Hi! My friend and I are trying to build it but are unable to start building the white area at the top, it seems to only be connected by pistons but we are unable to build them, are we missing something obvious? XD

The person holder will be useful in the future, It is constructing right now, read some advice from comments before sending it up like adding a extra few batteries and a warfare reactor to help it :D
Overall this steam workshop content is really cool, reminds me of the main menu one :D

Nice thx ^^

@me777 thank you for the advice. When my main computer is set back up, I'll be sure to add the emergency power.

@Verrückter yup

Work actually ?

for me it worked fine until it ran out of power 1km up.;P
the result was it could not continue and eventually managed to fall down. (the timers got reset and startet at wrong step as power was back)
maybe add batteries and some emergency reactor.

@BrainJax @Stella forester @The Damp Gamer i haven't personally experienced the issues, but I know sometimes the settings can change and the game can glitch with large builds. I suggest having someone stay in the area to keep the memory focused on the project. This will make everything stick as you go.

This might not work so much in survival over creative. I've created automated drills and seem to have the issue of walking away and then it glitches. Used warheads many times on those builds because they frustrated me.

Cool design, must of taken a long time to make. Quick question. Sometimes the blueprint disappears, causing the elevator to continue moving up even though theres nothing to connect to, making some quite comedic failures. Is this a known issue? Thanks!

Is it just me or is the welding section moved one bock too far? Parts of it are hanging over no projection while the other side where there is a projection has no welders above it.

Sadly the Blueprints are very suicidal

Not an issue! Thanks for the help!

@c-ouch all ready in the collection. Sorry it took so long to get back to you initially. Family and business and stuff. lol!

Thanks!!

@c-ouch very weird. It should show up with the tower. It has for me, so it is curious as to why it's not showing up for you. I'll see about separating it up so the blueprint exists as a separate part.

unless I'm doing it wrong

The base of the elevator works but the actual lift isn't included in the blueprint and I cannot find it in your collection

@c-ouch it is in my 'collections' area. But just in case, here is the link.

The white part that goes up doesn't show up in the blueprint, can you make a separate one?

@Dr. Doomsday - Glad you enjoy it!

This is perfect for my hardcore world thx

@Droplock_Gamer Thank you!

cool elevator dude

@ThierryL'hermite I uploaded a video, I hope it helps you find your way around.

sry i try to look, but i can only see assembler ,conveyor and container and no command area

@ThierryL'hermite It's the building on the main builder up top. The white building.

and sry again but where is command area and did i need to create a control panel ?

Where in the command area ?

@ThierryL'hermite - Instructions are in the command area.

How can i start the construction ?

@PhillyRIOT You mean for the part that builds it or for the add on part?

@Incanatus always thought that was self explanitory, but I'll be sure to add it.

Might wanna add "Space elevators are best built on mountains so the resource cost is lower by 4-10km(depending on planet size) and will be much easier to reach lower G's and allow elevator to rise and fall at a more controlled rate."

Do you have a separate blueprint for the elevator ship?
