Elevators. awesome idea. how do we make it work with minimal additions to the existing game?
it works exactly like a mine-cart but vertically, perhaps even being able to integrate your mine-cart railway into the system. Hey, if ya wanna be really cheap on it this could all be done with existing models too.
elevator track- mine-cart rails + ladder
powered elevator track- powered rails + ladder
elevator car- regular mine-cart, it just attaches to the elevator track.
stop- a type of mechanism that would cause the elevator to stop, then you can select an up or down option, and via red stone circuit to a switch, go again(might be viable to use on railways as well). not necessary though as red stone circuitry already takes care of this, but it would be nice. and elevators could simply be limited to going all the way up, stop, then all the way down, stop.
Honestly, I'm sure at least one or two mods have done this, but its such a criminally simple idea to implement it should be part of the core game. wouldn't even require a map reset. I want feedback people. Praise it, Rip it apart, or comment in general.
Yeah, that is true. They are loud and crazy huge most of the time, but you can create them currently. Also Sorboclese,use the search bar or look at the sticky thread about over-threaded ideas.
