I think this is good and all that i can make a real life looking hotel. But i think with such technology they would use teleporters?
I hate stairs... ELEVATORS FTW!! But most of them need to be in dungeons, so don't over-use it... Good idea
I'd like there to be elevators like the kind that Felizh was describing, and i'd also like to have huge freight elevators that you can place cargo and stuff on like mechs and lift them up to the surface from your underground base.
If a certain blue-wearing Jeff's information is trustworthy, stairs are evil and there should be several PSAs released in regards to the serious health and safety issues brought on by them. Elevators are far superior, as you can't fall endlessly whilst in an elevator, as opposed to the lesser option of stairs, where the falling will simply keep happening. Elevators have to be added. Do it for the safety of the people, Chucklefish. This is an important issue. We told you, dogg.
The addition of suspended cable cars would be awesome! If a zipline type block were added to the game, they might double as 'sky-rails' for the cars. This would allow both players (with the right tool such as a Petzl Tandem Speed or a Sky-Hook) and vehicles to access the lines.
How are elevators hard to add. Just do what all the lazy sci-fi games did and make hover pads. Gravity pads. Floaty devices. Whatever you want to call them. You step on or above it, you get to control your gravity with up and down. It's not a difficult concept. Pretty sure even Atari games managed that.
My two cents. A teleportation pad, with two pieces or more. The "Home" pad, and the "Away" pads that you get to name your pads, place them on the ground, and then select where you would like to teleport to from your home pad. (Can be limited or not to the same planet, but fuel is sorta hard to get at the moment so...) The second suggestion, is like in Terraria. Just build yourself a Hellevator. I've done it on several planets now. The only hard part is A. Avoiding gravel and fine sand, and B. Finding water for a "soft" landing. Some times you have to tunnel around for entirely too long just to find a source of water to pipe to your hellevator landing. Since this game has no buckets yet (can we get some please?) It makes hellevators inconvenient.
Could always go with a gravity lift or something., it's less taxing than an elevator and solves the whole elevator to space that I imagine people are tired of walking up to. EDIT: much like this: http://gyazo.com/e4683c0ea6fecb92e2728896221bd191.mp4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A Video Example of gravivators instead of elevators. You could even go as far as to take some lessons from Halo and make "Man Cannons".
If there is elevators, i want different kind of elevators, i want one of those elevators with a fence kind of door that makes a lot of noise and that would lead me to my mine shaft... sounds epic
That reminds me of portal 2, infact, it has the same colors from portal 2, lol, was this inspired off of portal 2? EDIT: noticed i said infant instead of infact, thanks for not calling me out on the auto correct... fixed
