Description

Makes the carshop lifts functional, removing the need for a jack when the car is near the lift.

Move the lift to your own car shop!

Enabling the option to convert the vanilla tiles, you will be able to pick-up the world car lifts and place them on your own base. It requires a screwdriver and Electrical Level 3, and will result in four heavy parts. Be careful, it can break! Improve your chances with more Electrical level.
(Mechanical or Metalworking requirements were not possible with how moveable tiles work.)

Sandbox options

- Range: The distance range from the vehicle where the car lift operates.
- Require Power: Indicates if the car lift requires available power to operate, whether it is from hydro (world power) or a generator.
- Convert to Movable Tiles: Convert vanilla tiles into moveable tiles. This process can be undone with the revert option.
- Revert to Vanilla Tiles: Revert moveable car lift tiles into vanilla tiles. To succesfully revert, this option must be kept enabled until ALL tiles are reverted.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Why a screwdriver and electrical skill for picking up?
- Well, how moveable system works is by using tiles created in TileZed. These tiles have properties, and in those properties you select the tool required to pick it up from a list, and that tool also carries the required skill (you cannot pick a wrench with carpentry skill). So, unfortunately the wrench has no skill associated, and I didn't want to make it easy to pick up. So screwdriver, which has electrical skill requirement attached, was the second best choice. FOUND A WAY! Now you can pick-up and place the lift parts with a Wrench and Mechanics skill.

- Why does my vehicle don't fit in the lift?
- Some vanilla car lift on small repair shops have only 2 squares without hitboxes, so the fit is TIGHT. Big repair shops' lifts are wider (3 squares without hitboxes), and you can build your own custom width car lift.

Roadmap

- B42 support
- Craftable lift
- Lift animation

@Broxigar you will find the options under the Sandbox settings -> Car Lift options of your server. If you are playing single player, I believe you need to install a mod to be able to change settings, I don't remember exactly.

@manoplin, thanks for your response. Where is the "Convert to moveable tiles" option located though?

manoplin [author] 7 Oct @ 6:33pm

The mod is safe to enable at mid-game, but be aware that the magazine find chances are going to be lower since the item spawn happens at first POI construction upon discovery. It's also safe to disable as long as the "Convert" option was never enabled.

If you want to remove the mod and you already had some lifts converted, you must disable the "convert" option and enable the "revert" one. Keep the mod enabled until all lifts are visited and reverted back. If you just disable the mod without this, the only issue you will find is a "broken" tile where the lift used to be (question marks on the ground).

Sorry gents, I don't have a working environment at this moment to even open PZ, so I'm not able to record a video to demonstrate the workings, which is a great idea btw!!

I can answer questions, though. Enabling the "Conver to moveable tiles" option is needed for being able to pick up the lifts. Right-clicking won't do it, use the vanilla pick-up mechanics. It should display a pick-up window like with any other pickable furniture. There are requirements and those will be shown at that window (along with success/failure chances).

You can also craft your own lifts without the "Convert to moveable tiles" option checked if you meet the requirements (read magazine or mechanics and electric skill requirements met).

I enabled it in my server settings, in an already existing map (b41), tried to go to an already discovered car shop, right clickin shows nothing, picking up showed nothing. Was Electric lvl 2 though and didn't find any recipe around. My question is, do I have to first find the recipe to be able to disassemble and/or operate it?
