I CREATED A SELF BUILDING ELEVATOR 

I would 100% watch a video of a mk.2 elevator!

Ok unironically this is probably one of the best made SE videos, great stuff man.

imagine connecting all the planets and moons together ty for including those epic fails, i know it prolly hurt to experience it, but they are oh so entertaining

All the effort that must have went into the editing... you definitly deserve more subscribers👍

I have tried this exact same thing a tether to the moon but after hundreds of hours and probably a dozen designs I discovered an engine limitation that prevents a tether to the moon. Once you get to a certain height from the earth, the game simply will not let you weld any higher. I believe the limit is about 36000m if I remember correctly. I tried a separate grid attached at the limit by a magnetic plate which does work to extend the limit, but I couldn't get my build elevator onto the new section because my merge block wouldn't line up on the new grid. Amazing attempt though and I suspect your elevator was failing because you hit the height limit.

Fun premise, good editing, well filmed 👍 hope you get big one day

This is an incredibly well made video! 8hrs of testing is a lot of time and I admire your perseverance! The only thing I recommend is using wheels pressed against the tower to aid in stabilizing. But other than that this is excellent!

Nicely done on the video. I've created one in survival a couple of years ago, with conveyoring en connectors from the base to the welders. Good fun until it got destroyed by npc ships. I used longer projections, more pistons and more merge blocks. And now I'd definitely use event controllers and drones (for resources, defense and welding). Maybe you could use magnetic plates or landing gear as a failsafe?

How do you only have eighty (one) subscribers? That was masterfully edited!

Amazing editing. loved the video. perhaps wheels holding it in place on the tower would help. im not sure what exactly was failing. i would definitely watch a mk2

It would seem Clang did not grant you blessings on this creation. Perhaps in the future, your sacrifices will be enough to find favor with them. /s /jk 😂 Seriously though very good video, keep it up, and i hope your creations go better in the future. 😊

I would have wanted to know your analysis of the failures and why they happened.

Oh yeah this is going to be big! Good editing skills too

make it with connectors next time, because the merge blocks will align it with the grid that could cause the physics engine to be not so happy

Really good idea, thanks for sharing this with us.

The fact you only have 100 subs is a crime.

I don't know how I got here. SE is not a game I play...not smert enoog...not smaut enugry...not..fuck! Me, dumb dumb. But that was a good video. There was one or two too many "umh" or "umm" but other then that good. Good explanation for what the video was about and good "story" progress. Nice editing and good music for the montages. The montages where perfectly in how long they where. I was just feeling "this has gone on for a bit.." then montage ended. Perfect! Maybe needed some reactions, from you, when the project went "fubar". Grad of video: Solid "A-". Looking forward to more project from "Mossy Boulder".

i want to subscribe... but you have the perfect amount of followers! LOL

+1 vote for a pt 2 :)

What's the p-gravity like at the top of the elevator? Could you use the existing structure as an alternate launch platform for low-power spacecraft?

I think your problem was either clang or timing block accuracy decay :/

Were the falls just Klang?

I'm currently building something like that in my survival, and I can give you some hints: 1. Use event controllers, not timers, system on event controllers is mush more stable in work (I don't know why, but my tests showed, that platform on timers felt several times, and platform on controllers never felt) 2. More stable construction has merge blocks on each side. 3. You can use landing legs instead of merge blocks, it requires less force on the pistons
