Nice video but that works only on natural map ground or over fundations.... when you try to use over leveled plattforms ( because you build a base over pillars because the terrain is too much irregular) , the elevator will operates to decend but will not acend anymore ( for your elevator acend again , you need to operates, in that case , directly on the elevator plattform and not on elevator rails )
Fizz, a good way to line stuffs is to put a wooden stair snaped to the ground in the direction you want so you climb it and go over it, it let you alined so you move the camera only up and down and it will be alined
I'm playing on ps4 and Everytime I lay down elevator I don't get option to elevate or deelevate once it elevates if I'm not on platform. Basically can't recall platform
Hey GG.. Im stumped.. Im trying to build an elevator from a cliff platform to the ground. So essentially its a down elevator. Could u explain how, and perhaps do a vid on it too?
Your able to place elevator tracks on ceilings as well.. if your having issues or trouble try placing fence foundations on the edges.... I'm pretty sure they also work underwater as well...
@@xxxharleyxxx6131 trying to fix this exact problem right now fence post foundation supports dont do anything still got platform needs support message ive connected the track all the way to the ground and have placed actually foundations under it and still says it has no support the game is bugged
Dude, I can place the track on ceiling but, seems can't place a platform (requires nearby foundation), how did you did that (track on ceilings instead of foundation)?
Same here but unfortunately or fortunately you could add the elevators by using pillars. Except the elevator could only face one way and you’ll need to cover the pillar if you’re picky like me😭 Edit: The elevator will go through the floor too
what if it says no foundaton support? i know for a fact that the amouunt of pillars under my cieling should have all of the foundationg support so im not sure what is happening here
So I don’t know how my trader friend did it and he quit ark but I remember he used a elevator and put it on top of his tek troughs so I think he would put his mawing on top then lift the elevator put meat in the troughs then put the elevator back down it’s hard to explain but it was so cool when I saw it lol sorry if I’m not making sense
Most likely... So far what I can tell the only way elevator lifts stop working is by either over weight or unpowered... Im pretty sure the electrical pipe will work underwater...
Oh yes sweet, you used to need to power all the tracks a while back, I haven't built tall elevators in quite a while so don't know when they changed that, it makes more sense though to power 1 as the tracks are connected anyway :)

Wow.
Thank you! I spent 3 hours, just today, fighting with and swearing at foundations and tracks.
You sir, are a genius.
Fizz, what’s the deal with ASA’s elevators? They are buggy as hell, stopping at half floors without obstructions
But wht if u build on cellings instead of foundations
Same thing.. able to place on ceilings... If your having trouble try placing fence foundation on edges
@Aidan Blades having the same problem just wasted over 60 tracks this video sucks

btw, i realy like your building vídeos. they help a lot xD
Use a ladder to get square
You need to show one where it's being done in caves or other areas trying to reach the top of a mountain
When I do this the shaft and platform aren’t flush to the ceilings at the top. It sticks out above the ceiling too much.

Foundation support ???
Ur a lifesaver even 3 years later! Instant sub and like 👍

Big hug... thank you for this. got so irritated with the stupid snappoint. the elevator always ended up into the ground so not able to use it
R u allowed to use the ladder trick or does it mess it up?
great vid!
the elevator platform keeps going inside the stone foundations I placed when I delevate it how do I fix this 😅
How did you get the elevator to attach to a track on a ceiling? I get no foundation support msg when trying place the elevator on the track
Your able to place elevator tracks on ceilings as well.. if your having issues or trouble try placing fence foundations on the edges.... I'm pretty sure they also work underwater as well...

Dude, I can place the track on ceiling but, seems can't place a platform (requires nearby foundation), how did you did that (track on ceilings instead of foundation)?
It seems the platform wont snap until my track is snapped onto some foundation support (fence foundation, pillar, or foundation). Any idea about this?
I'm curious about this as well
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
i love you for this video
I keep getting an error for foundation support. I built on pillars and ceilings.
Same here but unfortunately or fortunately you could add the elevators by using pillars. Except the elevator could only face one way and you’ll need to cover the pillar if you’re picky like me😭
Edit: The elevator will go through the floor too
This is the most helpful thing ever I salute you sir
Can someone help me I'm trying to build it but it's not going all the way up it keeps stopping on the first track
Thank you very much.
what if it says no foundaton support? i know for a fact that the amouunt of pillars under my cieling should have all of the foundationg support so im not sure what is happening here
i think using cables
Dont you wish people who play ark gave answers that actually worked lol
Nice, will definitely try this. Question, so if you lay down pillars first then replace them with tracks, they'll be backwards?
no should keep it as it is
I cant place the elevator base, l put the tracks and when l try to set the base it says "need foundation" l'm trying on tek ceils
So I don’t know how my trader friend did it and he quit ark but I remember he used a elevator and put it on top of his tek troughs so I think he would put his mawing on top then lift the elevator put meat in the troughs then put the elevator back down it’s hard to explain but it was so cool when I saw it lol sorry if I’m not making sense
This is very helpful! Thank you.
i love your builds couze they help my builds look better
:)
Mines keeps saying no foundation to support.... but its place in a foundation.....
When i get on it it says lock and unlock not elevate
Does elevator go through a ceiling if shaft is set higher to ceiling?
What happens with me is it still gets placed under my foundation so it's actually lower and I can't use it
im having trouble getting it to go up and down. idk why but i can only elevate/delevate it when im not standing on it.
Each platform size has a weight limit, try reducing the weight in your inventory
Works...on single player
can u do a video on how to place elevator on ocean platform pls without using vacuum compartment
Is there a way to call the elevator or do you have to be on the platform?
4:13 bro
I’m building a underwater base and can it go from the base(underwater) to the surface
Most likely... So far what I can tell the only way elevator lifts stop working is by either over weight or unpowered... Im pretty sure the electrical pipe will work underwater...
Yes but there’s a weight limit for some reason
I tried doing an elevator for my crystal isles base and i dont see the point jf you need to have 2 ppl
Nice!
You need a power outlet close enough to EVERY vertical track as they all need powering, dont forget that ;)
you only need to power 1 of them to power them all
Oh yes sweet, you used to need to power all the tracks a while back, I haven't built tall elevators in quite a while so don't know when they changed that, it makes more sense though to power 1 as the tracks are connected anyway :)
Thats what I came here for thank you I didnt know how to power it
Straight to the point! good job mate.
Hey can you do a video from scratch? Trying to line it up on my test aberration surface build
but what about multiple floors?
Multiple elevators... 🤷
Hop off, then when you need it to go up hit delevate then wait for it, then either wait for it so you can go back down or hop on it and hit elevate.
@@y33tboy97 An elegant solution.
You can just stop the elevator at the floor you need
doesn't work. it says need nearby foundation.
good video tho
Great!
Literally bro, my platform won't snack to my tracks. I've tried everything and nothing on the internet has an answer.
It's not working it keeps say no snap point
How did u build out over the water like that?
stone pillars no mods
Mine will not go all the way down
Mine just say's no foundation support lol
Same with mine!! I have Pillars everywhere !!
@@rage9667 well its not a fix but a work around the track it sits on put that all the way into the ground also like you do pillars
I have a question.... so, How do you do this? 😝
what is the max it can go up?
can go as high you what it to go to the max build limit
GG Fizz ok thx I must have messed something up in mine to make it not go up all the way.
so what is the max build limit it is a server setting? mine didn't go up all the way where i wanted it to go 😭😭😭
Im getting the no foundation message
It says “no foundation support” i have pillars under all my ceilings 😤😤
Find a fix for it cuz this what he did dont work
Fix ever happen?

👍👍
It needs foundation support wtf
How many squares wide is a large elivater base thanks
even tho i watched this video it still didnt help :/
i cant place the platform
Me neither, I guess there were a few changes and it can't be done this way anymore.
Building shouldnt be this ridiculous.
that was long and drawn out...
yup.. old TH-cam days..
Nice!
