Space Engineers - S2E42 'Continuing The Tower Design' 

I think that a glass only elevator would look awesome. And I don’t think the tower needs the „solid structure“ look with the pillars since the sloping walls look sturdy enough. Love the way you planed the base out over the planet.

You could make the elevator a small grid. That way it could have walls and you could use the small buttons, which look better for elevators anyways. Also, it could rotate, which would be way above and beyond but very cool.

I like the Idea of pillars as support for the structure, it looks a bit more realistic

Atc requires 360 degree view and also always top floor. Being an air traffic controller I would know. We would never have an elevator block our view in the tower.

use the incline for the elevator like you discovered. And another Idea is to put another light armor block in the center of the elevator, and a button panel on each face of the now center pillar. this way you have buttons in front of you from each entrance of the elevator, or more buttons if needed.

Going small-grid with the elevator is a great suggestion (all credit Sebi One for making it before me - lol). Also, other than the periodic freezes, how are you finding the Frostbite update?

I feel like putting corner lights instead of pillars could look awsome. And you could try to "animate" them to blink towards direction of the elevator, if that's even possible to do ofc. So let's say going upwards whole glass elevator case would light up with "pusling" going upwards.

dont put full block but small half corner slope type block that gives you much more space for the elevator

What about the glass elevator with the rounded or half block pillars? Structurally solid but not as much of the room. Also, you could have placed the button panel on the blastdoor, just it was hovering over nothing, just needed it to rotate 90 degrees.

I’d definitely say keep the pillars. It makes it look nice and industrial

Instead of having blast door edges on the elevator itself, you could use that trick you wanted to do by having them under the doorways themselves. Keen did it in their first scenario pack, so it might work well here.

The extra windows mod let's you build windows as big as you want without borders

For the glass elevator, I would suggest using the those small ramps you used, but flipped the other way around, and using the small triangle piece on the corner

Dude what about a drone elevator, uses a programmable block to command get auto pilot to travel to diff gps (floors) points without rotating when travelling in a different direction. If there were connectors at every floor aswell then you could use buttons to activate it as a subgrid

@Kanajashi I wonder if you could put the button panel against the wall and if the collision box would allow a blast door edge to pass over it?

I like the idea of just a glass tube for the elevator without the pillars.

Another great video sir. For buttons, rather than vanilla, may I suggest you look at the "Corner Button Panel" mod or perhaps "Button Panels Mod Pack DX-11(Updated)". That 2nd one will allow up to 8 buttons.

Do you know that there is an Elevator mod in the Workshop for 1x1 block base and x High?

I love your videos for space engineers keep it up one suggestion is bring other people in once done make it a public server

Round the corner pillars to make it seem less boxy but still structurally supported

you could put blast edges under the elevator's doors too to have a smoother entrance/exit

Do you know that timer blocks have slightly smaller collision area ? Maybe try that for the elevator floor.

Check out the workshop for "Glass Emporium" for glass without frame.

Put 2 single buttons beside the door of each floor, up or down one floor

For the elevator button problem you could set 1 button pannel with 4 timers have 1 timer extending the piston and turning them on the 2nd timer set to turn off the pistons at the time it takes to reach the floor and that's it for them 2 as for 3 and 4 just set them the same way but for lowering the elevator the timers can lay at the bottom of the pit and you have 2 buttons for the inside the elevator as for the call buttons I'll leave that 2 u

For the elevator adjust the height by a tiny amount and it will level out the horrible drop from the gap

hi kanajashi, i had an issue with video freezes. i only had 8 gigs of memory. so i used the msi dragon center app to empty memory and that helped. but with se the memory keept on filling up again and again within a few minutes. so i installed "RamRush", awesome tsr that allowes for auto controlled memroy cleanup whenever necessary. it can also run in quiet mode so no popup appears telling u how successful it was. since u r running a lot of programs to do video recording maybe even with your large amount of memory u run out. give it a try... p.s. my freezes where weired triplets, 2 short ones then a long one, every 45-120 seconds. now i got 16 gigs and se runs like a charm without ramrush

Kanji have you thought of using atmospheric thrusters instead of pistons ?

Your freezes are pretty bad. The hiccups I was getting, weren't as bad. Hopefully the hotfix helped you. All glass would be nice, if possible - I *think* so.

keep the piller

Could the reason your game freeze be the autosave? Really like your videos.

Why don’t you use the drill and fill to use all that stone to make a large stone landing area for large ships. It can serve as your port for the industrial area.

A 3x3 slope would take up 27 blocks

I just remembered, that i have same game-freezing issue in Medieval Engineers. Whenever i encounter said freeze, i reload a save, and it seems to solve the problem until a game reload. Maybe this could help with SE as well.

I get the same freezes but for me they only last a second or two at most. Happens every hour or so since the update, before that it ran perfectly.

I'm currently 9km up with building my space elevator, planning on aiming for 50km, but for some reason it is up to 19GB allocated RAM and climbing the higher I go... Any ideas?

Perhaps the Azimuth Elevator mod? steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466437712&searchtext=azimuth+elevator

Did you try a game without build and repair? My 110m game started stuttering yesterday. Didn't play today. Make sensor buttons instead of actual buttons?

Thinking about it, I'd like to see an elevator without pistons

how did you rotate the objects like that?

Glass only no obstruction

Excellent video! Love ur designs. I have been playing with vanilla settings, was wondering what mods you use? I am thinking of adding the forcefield, the lcd panels, and maybe concrete blocks. What else would u recommend? :D thx

I have frozen frames also, I guess there is a bug.

Why not turn your space base in to player safe zone for $ offer maintenance and selling options like withdraw of $ ATMs and selling them stuff

i'm experiencing the same sort of freezes since the update. very annoying.

You may need to back up your saves and then uninstall and reinstall SE

I like your voice just saying

For me RU-vid is starting to freeze up like Space engineers is

my build and repairs quit working.. they dont even have all their options in the K menu anymore... :( tried every trick i know to fix them... even uninstalling them and reinstalling them...

it looks alot like Ryugyong Hotel in n Korea. hopefully it will get finished unlike the rl one.

How do you make 1000 girder in one click? Whats the shortcut key for that? I only can make 100 with the shortcut key Shift+LeftMouseButton. I know im such a noob. LOL

I think you have too many build and repairs

your game freezes, mine i don't have a body an cant see it at all, i cant see other players, even wolves or spiders!

First

Great building and all but so far out of the videos I've watched of yours, they are kinda boring, if I am to watch building videos I'd rather see time laps rather then real time talk and build. Also if your doing building, why not more deco mods? they have new weapons mods that are better then the vanilla rebalance mod, IMO of course, also I found the areo-dynamic and drill and fill combined seem to be the problem, at lest for me, made a world with just the areo mod, then activated the drill and fill one and then both together and I'd get skips with them both on for some odd reason. Either way if you want more engaging content I'd recommend adding the Assertive stuff and for the new weapons mod its call Weapons Core, they even have a mod for it for missiles and even large rail guns.
