    Aesthetically I would chose elevators over ladders. I think ladders would be superior in smaller constructs, but for bigger buildings like skyscrapers, elevators would be the way to go.

    I imagine you would be able to call an elevator from each door/ floor, though I didn't mention in the original post.

    Personally I don't think everything in Starbound needs to have a practical use. People (such as myself) love variety, anything that makes your creation unique is a good thing.

    What if he has high speed? If you use Player2k's idea it would work well, even if the player was running so fast.

    Technically it did, they really had wooden platforms.

    Oh, yeah.

    Forgot about those, i knew there was something ladder-like, but wasn't quite a ladder, haha.

    Well if that was suppose to be a ladder system, I hope Starbound has a much deeper one :)

    At least some sort of climbing animation.

    Good thinking. I'm not sure if anyone has played 'Simtower', but I imagine it would work similar to that. Of course with better graphics and ability to enter them heh.



    Only youtube movie I could find :p, its not the most well-known game after all...

    I've actually played that, and yea that was kinda my point. You could upgrade them with pixels (faster).

    Elevators! I am surprised that no one suggested it aleready :) An I am thinking how it happend that I did not thought about this also... Well, nevermind - I am 100% supporting this idea. Elevators are "must be" for me! ;) Escalators... Those would be very nice. Not as important for me as elevators, but still great :)

    id rather have something like redstone (minecraft) and have to use my intelligence to build one rather than have a ready to place item

    YES! I would love it when things require to take some time to build so it can be more realistic and would take longer for you to get something you want, that way you will feel more entertained when finished, its hard to explain that :/.

    Elevators need to be upgradeable somehow I think. In multiplayer servers with +20 people it can be a pain in the ass to have a slow, clumsy elevator that only goes into one direction at a time.

    YES LIKE LEGO. :D

    i wrote something suggesting this some hours ago on the general discussing thread lol, shame on me for not checking here first.

    i totally support this for many reason and beyond. to take terraria for example, it would have made moving throught my huge compounds and skyscrapers much easier
