    I think elevators would be a cool addition in Starbound! It would give the creator a whole new perspective on building! Not to mention it's just badass!

    Elevators are indeed a great idea, especially to create mine shafts. Enough of the letting yourself fall with a lucky horse thing in Terraria, or to build spiraled stairs like in Minecraft, we're in the future here :D

    agreed, this would be the technology we would have at the beginning.

    I think a lot of us had a long drop into 3 feet of water, and a ladder. But yes that was also unrealistic for a miner.

    Yeah, these kind of games never seem to want to add elevators, they really should

    Well elevators aren't in many crafting/sandbox games. This would be a great addition... plus it fits the whole future theme.

    Maybe it operates on antigravity? Would save the trouble of cables...

    That could actually be an advanced one, but the initial elevators should be easy to craft ("Easy"), and have wires and all (it's also funnier with wires :D), and maybe the high-tech ones could be antigravity. Having a progression on the tech level is always enjoyable and gives the game better duration.

    The whole tech level thing is a good Idea, you should post that in suggestions

    They're already incorporating tech levels :zzz:

    Well good, so no need in that then :D but I love it.

    Yep they did. I just meant that even elevators could beneficiate from it, and rather than all being the most advanced antigrav one, there could be different types, some cheaper but less efficient, others (antigrav) more expensive and more effective ^^

    Well I'm glad to hear that tech levels are in!

    You know what every elevator should have? Elevator music. Just saying. It would be nice to come back after a long day of mining and be able to rock out to some music on your way back up to the surface.

    From what I heard mining won't be a major role in Starbound

    Really? That seems silly to me. I guess I can believe it, but still, what else would you be doing?

    DNA collecting, exploring planets throughout the universe. I'm sure you can mine and stuff... but who knows.. they might change stuff around

    I hope that just means it's easier to get blocks for building, and not that building itself has taken a hit.
    Still, elevators would be a neat mechanics regardless.
