@armiel: Thank you for moving the thread in the tutorials-section and thank you for the formatting-tips. They are useful.

@all: I figured out, how elevators to floating buildings can be build and in this post I will show you how it works. With elevators the AI is also able to enter your floating building.


1. After you have raised up the first floor to the floating-height you like, you need to build a basement on the groundfloor, which includes the first elevator, because you can't build walls beyond the floating building, when you have raised up the first floor.




2. Then you need to build an additional entrance-part to the basement, because you can't build stairs on the basement beyond the floating building.




3. Build an elevator with walls and stairs on the basement.




4. This part is a little bit tricky: Now you need to place an elevatorshaft on the groundfloor on the exact elevator-position, which is marked with a yellow grid.




5. Now build the final elevator with walls on the floating first floor at the position of the yellow grid.




Now your elevator should be ready to be used also by the AI. Maybe it would look better, when you cover the elevatorshaft on the groundfloor, for example, with a rabbithole of the community-objects section by using the "moveobjects on" cheat or with an object of the debug-section, which can be activated by first using the "testingcheatsenabled true" cheat and then the "buydebug on" cheat.

If you have some questions, just ask me.
