Hi!

***BE SURE TO BUILD ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN, AS HIGH UP AS YOU CAN. CAN SAVE LOTS OF RESOURCES AND GET YOU TO SPACE FASTER***

This is my space elevator. It is based off of other concepts and works well to get items to space. However, I have plans to make a person carrier that can zip up and down, but that might take some work. I might use the vacuum of space to go up and just let people fall to go down? Idk right now. But in concept.

I'm still working on it and have minimal knowledge with reguard to the programming blocks, but if you want to help with that, that would be awesome.

It uses up a lot of VRAM, due to it being a mega structure when it's fully built, but can be worth it to get resources from the surface to space. Be sure to check the settings first with reguards to the pistons to make sure you don't end up wasting all the resources to build it just for it all to come crashing down. For some reason it kept resetting as I was working on it. Otherwise, I plan to make it nearly self-sufficient and maybe eventually create mining drones that look for resources on their own.

Please let me know what you think and if you would like to help me learn the programming so that it's not like it runs out of resources, since it is fully automated building currently...

Enjoy!

Update:

Please change the LCD Screen to 6.7 not 6.8. For some reason it changed between .1 from when I posted to now. Lol! I will try to update the published item.

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.

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.
