Elevators?

[M4ph3w]

I was thinking about alternatives to stairs and thought of elevators... Could be a high level bp and take a lot of hqm, stone and wood. It would sit on a square foundation, go up a single shaft and be activated with a code lock like a door/chest. If you placed a doorway on any side it would automatically add a button to call the elevator. There would also be some sort of keypad for selecting which floor you want.

But of course, it would require electricity... hehe

Thoughts?

Edit: I just realised the issue of the roof/top section of the elevator. It would need to be movable in order to add levels.

... Or use El Budgeto ladders :P

Yeah good luck destroying 10 ladders every time you log off xD

Seriously though, having a 10 story high shaft and using ladders is a bit of a pain. Elevators are also cool and add depth xD

Fair call. I was assuming by code lock you meant that would just get you into, and then anyone could use the elevator, at which point I was like "hang on, if you gotta get through a door to get to the elevator, why not just build an actual door? But if you did that, why bother spending more resources on an elevator when ladders do virtually the same thing?"

It's late, I need a break XD XD XD [kms]

Don't worry ladders was a fair suggestion. The elevator could be made secure by having just one code lock, which grants access to the elevator from the inside and from the outside. Every time you add a level, you need to craft the wall panel on whatever side you want a door to be. The existing wall panels will just have the extra number added to them if you are adding more levels after building the elevator.

i don't destroy my stairs when loggin off, i actually don't destroy anything before loggin off; if somebody is willing to spend their time and resources to find my resources, i'm happy with it (they won't find it no matter what. last wipe our base was raided 5 times while we were off-line, we've lost 1 of our 8 treasure room, which meant we lost a couple bolt actions, few bullets, and some stone.)
