Mine Elevator Inventory Change

[nero1141]

In my opinion mine Elevator should enable us to put liftables inside. like they are pretty good to drop food,and some metal for pillars down to the mine, but except for that they are pretty useless...

change their inventory to at least one liftable space(chests can work as inventory grid as well) so we can at least move ores up and down with wheelbarrows.

Or because you need to prepare space for them first, let us select with flower menu how deep we want to go and port us there. that would be easier than clicking on each minehole up to level 9 >.<

Wheelbarrow directly into it, make it count as a mega stockpile that can be wheelbarrowed out of at any of the levels! I think the teleport has some merit too.

Honestly the major issue it has is mines don't really function vertically. Ore veins don't cross layers, and even then they get mined out pretty fast anyway. Some kind of minecart system that goes down prospecting tunnels and is reasonably cheap to make might be neat, but it'd have to be competitive with just making roads.

Give them the shed inventory

Back when I originally suggested this (viewtopic.php?f=48&t=66540&hilit=+pulley) I had suggested it work as either an extremely large stockpile, or capable of holding several objects (i.e a shed). This is because it's going to compete against a cart+6 wheelbarrows in terms of storage capacity; if it's worse than that, it's not all too worth using, especially as it's static.

Still think the best way to do it would be allowing it to either hold several stockpile's worth of rocks and ore (like granaries) or several objects.

I'm not sure if the devs have said anything about this in awhile, but I think it would be cool! If the elevator accepted liftables then we could create some neat new base designs without having to drag a cart around as much.

Make Mine Elevator work with liftables instead, make specific container only liftable when empty to restore original functionality if so desired.
