Elevator idea

I am looking for some inspiration on a concept I have for my moon base. Was seeing if anyone has built an elevator before or could put something together?

If you're sufficiently neurotic, you MIGHT be able to get away with building a SPIRAL staircase using florescent lamps, and "sheathing" the entire circular pillar/volume of space with those circular roundel wall lights arranged in a hexagonal pattern to make "walls" so as to get something that looks kinda, but not quite, like the elevators we see in Crey Lab Maps.

The item count would be ridiculous.
The precision required to exactly place that many objects at EXACTLY the right height, at EXACTLY the right rotation, so as to make a circular/tubular aggregate object would be madness inducing without a new UI element allowing us to EXACTLY CONTROL the x/y/z axes placement, along with the rotation, in a very finely controlled way.

Good luck with that ...


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

There is a form of lift in the science-based Fabrication center in my SG's base. A pic of is is included here, toward the bottom:

If you'd like more views of it, let me know.

Elevator? Why yes, I have one of those. It doesn't work these days though, not since the facility was abandoned and the power went on reserves. We did find a way in though, through the elevator shaft.
