Automatic Space Elevator

Description
Got the ideia from the video "Did You Know #9 (Space Elevator)?" from Keen and developed my version.

I did not make it very elaborated to allow you guys to build and improve as you like it.

The construction is fully automated thanks to a script from Coren's Easy Automation v2.0, kudos to him for this awesome script

In the cockpit

1º Turn on the Projector (button 4)

2º Lower the Welders (button 6)

3º Start the construction (button 1)

4º Stop the process (button 2)

5º Run a single construction cycle (button 9)

the problem is the connectors when the grids merge the connectors also merge and cant unmerge like merge blocks

one of the few working Paste-And-Go space elevators out there. to those who say it doesnt work in survival: setting it up is much more complicated as it involves multiple grids, labelling blocks for the script, etc.

After 20+ hours messing with this in survival, i can safety say this is NOT ready for Survival. Not at all. To much messing around is required. Unless you are planning to just spawn it in with admin commands or in creative, be warned there is ALOT of work involved getting it to work.

Or you could add a guide on how to get it working in survival.

Does work brilliantly in Creative, and is a excellent design and concept

well this thing was a complete waste of 6 hours to build

I'don't understand. I've entered the cabin. I've hit the buttons in order 4-6-1 and then nothing happen at all. What do i do wrong???

@Richard Asgard How do I change the speed of the pistons? Which line of the script is responsible for this?

@Richard my dearest apologies. I'm just an idiot and totally misread the button order. I figured it out and it works great! Though definitely more suited for moons. Tested on mars at the top of the large "volcano" type landmark and it only got to around .70g before it almost murdered itself. Likely the physics cap.

@Striker Probably there is some issues with recent game updates and script updates that are interfiring with the RIG. I havent had the time latly to update it.
When I got the time I will look into it.

no longer works. followed instructions on lcd, didnt start building and once the pistons stopped extending the entire thing fell and crashed to the ground
