Conveyor Vertical Lifts
Vertical lift and descent segments for conveyors to go up and down without ramps, so only occupying 1 square. Could use higher tier construction materials.

YandersenEven better if those microstructures got autoplaced in situations where user plans conveyor line segment going uphill too steeply.

RyanScrew or bucket conveyors would work well and fit in to the game look as well.

EricI like the idea, some of my conveyors just don't feel right. Especially the 4 tile incline. I would prefer 3 tiles to reach height 2.
Besides that, these type of lifts could be used for molten metal as well maybe? Ok there are ramps, but still, might make for some nice builds. -

DarkaiserI like it! Perhaps as an upgrade to conveyors?

L32I disagree with "vertical" lifts, as this will loosen current building restrictions too much. They will be too overpowered in other words.
Instead, I suggest to add diagonal conveyors and pipes, which go in parallel with mining ramps. So that we don't have to go zig-zag when we want to go up a mountain. -

rolarI think it's worth separating the supply of buildings and transportation.
For buildings - and to save space, we need "lifts" in one cell with a size and height of 2-5.
For transportation - you can have something bigger -

PatLike this idea, would disagree with molten metals, as they are always gravity machines. Moving parts and molten metal dont ever mix

Stephen NicholasOf course there is the risk that the game will become too easy withing the limited space with these? Like simply being able to lower products down a cliff?
They maybe can´t simply copy Satisfactory regarding all the tricks and ideas? Yet maybe a simple one that goes up only one segment? -

Gr8scottoI like this one. A method of implementing could be rather than lifts per se, in real-life conveyor implementations, they make "corkscrew" conveyors. So model those and have them only occupy one "cell" to go up a level? It would allow OCD-style players to clean up our conveyor layouts? :o)
