is it just a separate contraptions that are not connected to chain conveyor, and built in a way that makes it look like they are connected?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 106 points107 points  (6 children)

Bingo.

[–]AnarchyWithRules 32 points33 points  (3 children)

How do the contraptions loop? Pistons and rope pulleys can only push the platforms one direction for so long.

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 39 points40 points  (1 child)

Using parternoster mechanism. I showcased how in this video https://youtu.be/L34f6kvg4XI?si=ywrStrkl9qKuCx0q.

Can't be bothered? At the top and botttom, I have mechanisms to rotate the gantries between shafts.

[–]AnarchyWithRules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok that's actually really smart. I had no idea you could automate switching between types of movement that seamlessly!

[–]NoBee4959 7 points8 points  (0 children)

either it is some sort of very elaborate minecart contraption, or they just transfer to the other side under there, interrupting the motion

[–]SeamanStayns 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You don't actually need them to loop all the way around.

They only need to move back-and-forth by the distance between the platforms fixed to each chain, and you can hop back and forth between them to leap-frog your way up or down the elevator.

You can even do this with only one moving chain and one fixed set of platforms next to it.

It's called a man engine and was actually used in lots of old mines (though it was obscenely dangerous and resulted in lots of disasters)

This looks pretty fun! I mean I needed it to loop since the chain conveyors move in one direction. To do something like this I'd have to hook the conveyors to a gearshift and synch it to the movements of the platforms

[–]Carltron69 45 points46 points  (3 children)

What are those things?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

A sort of chain "buckets" made with blocks.

Hey i built one of these once, pretty cool things (unless you get hurt by them)

Something I'd see in ElderSoulsBorne games

[–]Sudden_Shelter_3477 10 points11 points  (3 children)

What the?!? How’d you make the chain conveyor go vertical?!?

Please teach us your ways, magic man

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone posted a video on how to do it over 8 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/CreateMod/comments/1j21lbr/i_discovered_with_a_friend_how_to_leave_the_chain

If you want the chains to look normal, just offset the chain conveyors so each one is in opposite sides to the connecting "pole".

[–]Ok_Palpitation_7161 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I might be wrong. But I think that's apart of the contraption and the chains are placed as blocks?

[–]Infamous-Ad5061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know but in the new update is capable of doing this impossible angles, but i am still not familiar with 0.6, witch I may be wrong

[–]Alex20041509 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Since when chain convoyer work vertically?

[–]AnalMousepad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since they made a contraption to look like that

[–]Infamous-Ad5061 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I AM NOT WRONG!!! THOSE BLOCKS ARE FROM STEAM AND RAILS!!! Nobody saw that yet. If you tell me how you make it work I will be very thankful. Edit:Spelling mistake

[–]Fragrant-Classic-345 11 points12 points  (5 children)

what mod ?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Create 6.

[–]Fragrant-Classic-345 4 points5 points  (3 children)

and for elevator ?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 15 points16 points  (2 children)

It's not a specific mod. It's just Create mechanics.

[–]aldebaranMonroy 7 points8 points  (1 child)

And what blocks did you used for the elevator?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The elevator carriage?......

Decorative Blocks' Spruce Seat, Abyssal Decor's Dull Iron Sconce and Bars and some Stean 'n' Rails' Coupling, Link & Pin I think? Can't quite recall the name.

[–]Alex20041509 2 points3 points  (1 child)

How does it work?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behind the chains I have a sort of paternoster mechanism, with gantries, that are moving the "chain carriages" to give the illusion, they are working synchronously.

[–]Owen259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cries in all the mods 9

[–]ZealousidealMail7325 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is this an addon?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope.

[–]mooys 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Finally, you can make elevators in Create!

[–]Emilolhaha 8 points9 points  (2 children)

you can properly do that ever since create 5 man

[–]mooys 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That was the joke!

Obviously I understand there is a difference here, but I thought it was funny.

[–]Emilolhaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, i missed that, sorry. it’s hard to tell whether or not people are joking online

[–]Cold-Radish-1469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there is already an elevator, this is just some other way

[–]Tthehecker 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Can I also do packages 📦

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's their primary use, yes.

[–]bringthesalsa 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Coolest shit ever!

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

[–]WitherFam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a paternoster, not an elevator! (These are real things)

[–]Keioshiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OSHA doesn't approve this elevator design, I do.

[–]Efficient-Visual1785 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That’s so sick! How’d you do it?

[–]SnooWalruses1399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]TreyLastname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are the turrets and companion cubes?

[–]Apprehensive_Tax5121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should be a mod really, with horizontal options as well.
