remember to grind the tiny piston you used to connect it to the centre pillar or it will not retract

[@Hell-Raizer_Productions]

Yeah, "cut the umbilical cord," so to speak

[@Kensivren]

Loving how the space elevator are progressing. Cant wait for you to design the space station on the top of the elevator.

[@Clan_AlbertheGrey]

That makes ya wonder how many ships are gonna be parked up there 😂

[@ronkrueger-capt_koron6112]

Nice design Kanajashi. I had a KZbin streamer friend that tried to build a space elevator to an asteroid, but it failed as he didn't use the piston and connector method. He tried to use landing gear and pistons to inch it's way up the supports. It also used wheels and thrusters to give it power to move up the supports too. Yours is better. His alignment was off too, so that made it more difficult to build. He had to get it aligned just right to connect both bodies.

[@RedLeicesterCheese]

you should make a piston dock for it with a connector thne have like 2 of them cargo holds so you can transport massive ammounts of materials to your space base to fuel the kanjashi empire

[@death13a]

Don't forget to disconnect printer and have pillars to connect rails to conveyor like you have at bottom. Also may include Bobs to maintain your rails and platform from any sort of bumps and bruises.

[@SergioLeRoux]

Very nice project. I tried to recreate this by using 4 projectors and the original blueprint, but I realized something: the wheels at the base of the elevators prevent some of the half blocks from building, which means the 4 columns are precariously supported only by the vertical corridor in the middle. This made sense because of the piston caps behind each of the 1x1 wheel suspensions are the remains of a piston that the original author probably used to push these wheels after the halfblocks had been built, using most likely a merge block. Since I don't care to repeat some involved grid merging I just moved each of the suspensions 1 block back, and will do the same to the half blocks from the cars that are supposed to rest on them.

[@SergioLeRoux]

I managed to hack together a primitive script that brakes the elevator if it's going too fast, to make it work with those mods that remove the speed limit, and it didn't destroy itself when descending. It still has bugs and may mess up if it has to brake too close to the terminal.

[@madcapmagician3130]

I was wondering why you didn't feed a conveyor inside one of the rails instead of the exposed central tube? i'm sure there is a completely logical and sound reason, but i haven't spotted it yet.

[@Variety_Pack]

A crawler. 2 projectors showing the tower to be built and a conveyor tube that follows. Some timer blocks to cycle everything and then pause to dock & refill. Welders to build.

[@EgnachHelton]

I think just for extra safety you should add a few hydrogen boosters and tanks on the bottom so that it won't fall.

[@FlamingNinja]

Glad you noticed my comment about the elevator 😂 looking forward to seeing how the elevator turns out

[@Misteri0123]

Kanajashi: explains programing of his printer Me: *confusion intensifies*

[@Uzzgub]

Loveing the season so far, your base is getting HUGH

[@montyferguson4657]

I'm still remembering you getting excited about your nanite control factory lol. Oh how far you have come.

[@genesisviper1159]

May I suggest if the game doesn’t break inviting a handful of people to enter your game and do a tour of the city?

[@victomeyezr]

DUDE... You didn't even let us watch it run?!!!

[@josephcalhoun5811]

Fantastic job

[@shandaman1224]

Howdy! Loving the elevator it looks amazing

[@jesusisunstoppable4438]

Awesome -

[@foobar9761]

Very nice!

[@from-the-land-of-noah]

How are you using your projectors? I wanted to build a "base printer" car that projected the next segment like you are doing with your elevator and all I get is the "Multiple Grids are not supported. Only the largest grid will be used." error when I try to load the blueprint.

[@charlessexton1560]

Hey Kanajashi why don’t you have the printer merge with the space elevator with a merge block and a connector, and have the projector on the printer so then you can go around the problem of sub-grids not being able to print on host grids? Have a great day, hope you do this and it works. ;)

[@Hayden123457]

You should have used the hover engine mod for the elevator instead of wheels, they are more stable and you can go much faster speeds, I build a space elevator with the hover engines and it can go upto 300m/s with no issues

[@SirAroace]

na this is a classic, even keen uses it.

[@chrishaas6549]

How do you use projectors to build and edit in space engineers

[@strex2062]

Can you send your world save? I would like to create something for your city but i need to see where im building it.

[@scoutg001]

Why don't you set the projectors to all have their own same blueprint, instead of only 10, instead of infinity

[@Kanajashi]

I haven't found out how to make that work. Whenever I make the recurring projections they always stop after a set amount of times.

[@charlessexton1560]

Kanajashi why don’t you have the printer merge with the space elevator with a merge block and a connector, and have the projector on the printer so then you can go around the problem of sub-grids not being able to print on host grids? Have a great day, hope you do this and it works. ;)

[@vexile12]

It looks scary

[@SirAroace]

how close are you to to the grids block limit?

[@jeffbarnes2834]

Put the projector on the crawler so it resets itself.

[@ratchet1freak]

if you knew how to build scripts you could have use just a single extra programmable block to do the loop management instead of messing with multiple timers that need to stop and trigger each other at the right times.

[@jonathanverhoeven9774]

What are the specs of your pc

[@williamstory158]

my money's on he forget to cut the platform lose before starting it

[@Nathouuuutheone]

P R T I N E R

[@UMB694]

Too much math lol

[@Clan_AlbertheGrey]

No that simple math compared to what is being processed by quantum physicsians

[@charlessexton1560]

The Foreigner yes that is very true

[@mazack00]

43:43 End of fiddly section... No trial run or test after all that? Seriously?? Horrible. Also the sticky mouth noises are pretty bad in this one. Less sugar drink; more water.
