The Plum Gate Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think it would be interesting to have handtrucks - to make moving single or double tile wide objects relatively simple - particularly storage compactors. And also, make elevators a thing - single or multi tile wide lifts that function like ladders but can move things like the above mentioned hand trucks around. I know heavi-watt wire has a hideous decor value, maybe they could do something similar with the elevator shaft. Even if it were all single tile wide only movement via handtrucks and elevators, it would be of great use to the growing colony. Of course the elevator would need power too.

Weaky Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Totally agree. For instance, my colony was in constant need of water source, even though only 5 dupes inhabited it, and it had 4 NG generators and 4 algae distillers. I drained all the water sources around me and now I have to go deep below like 80 tiles to get a new source. Watching the dupes constantly climb this ladder to Hell 10 times per cycle makes me feel sorry.

goboking Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'd love to see elevators added to the game (two tiles wide sounds appropriate, with winches at the top of the shaft requiring power), but alas the improved climbing speed of Plastic Ladders has me thinking we'll never see them.

The Plum Gate Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm in agreement here - I have minimal staffing in my colony. Elevators and handtrucks would make moving storage compactors out of the base a little easier durring growth. And now that we have to dig down so far elevators are an even more relevant idea...even without hand trucks.

I figured speed ladders would be a thing and here they are.

goboking Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 If they do add elevators to the game, I hope there are early- and late-game versions. The early version should look like a rickety old elevator shaft, the kind you'd see in a early 20th century mine. The late version would be cool if it was glass or plastic, like akin to what they had in the Jetsons cartoon, so that it fits aesthetically with the new plastic tiles and ladders.
