[WiP] (DX11) Elevators

So, here's a dumb question
Is there any way we could, say, make one of these that's 16000 blocks tall? (which just happens to be 40km, which is about how high gravity fields extend on planets) *cough* literal space elevator *cough* like, is there a limit to block size internally in the game?

i would be interested in that.

I would assume it's possible, but imagine how long it would take. Currently, it takes about 6 sec. to travel 1 block, so to travel 15,999 blocks it would take about 95,994 sec. or 1 day 2 hr. 39 min. and 54 sec. (assuming I did my math correctly).

you could change that for the space elevator. i think a bigger problem would be placement.

If you are talking about making the elevator faster, according to the creator of this mod, if you make it go any faster you will fall through the floor.

I wonder if it would be possible to put seats inside the elevator. putting a cockpit or passenger seat on piston elevators turns the speed limit from "what will prevent the player from falling through the floor" to "what will prevent the piston from breaking"

Yeah, that would work but I don't think you can add seats to a door.

at this point it would be nice of keen to add support for multi function blocks

maybe there could be something like... elevator shaft and elevator blocks?

something like that was already suggested in the suggestions thread

An increased speed version + this "Space elivator" so it wont take as long as @alpha says. haha

I actually made a sort of gravity tube to launch myself up into space which is something you could do in the vinalla game with out any mods. The only problem I had was slowing down so I dont go splat when I hit something

only problem is the more natural gravity the less artificial gravity

I would imagine the game couldn't handle that large of a block.

there was a design for a space elevator made of pillars and wheels so i think if its able to handle the pillar and wheel design it should be able to handle the one block design. biggest problem would most likely be placement because of the size
