Configurable Elevators

Enhanced Version Coming Soon!

This mod allows adjustment of the speed of elevators ingame. Configure a global elevator speed or (optionally) different speeds on individual elevators.

Mod ID: 1716717492

Settings

Settings are accessed by bringing up the radial menu (hold E) while targeting an elevator. By default, only admins can modify settings. Non-admins can be given limited access to configure elevators owned by their clan by enabling Allow Any Elevator Owner.

Default Elevator Speed: The global default elevator speed for all elevators in world. It is normal to see a brief delay when changing this on large worlds. This can only be changed by admins. Enable Custom Settings: If enabled, allows individual elevators to have different speeds. Disabling this will reset all elevators to the Default speed. Allow Any Elevator Owner: If true, any clan member may configure elevators that belong to that clan. Disabling this restricts elevator customization to admins only, regardless of ownership. Custom Minimum/Maximum Speed: Configure the allowed speed range for individual elevators. Does not affect global default speed. Customize This Elevator: Enables the custom speed slider for this elevator only. Requires Enable Custom Settings to be checked. Disabling this setting will reset the current elevator to the global default speed. Custom Speed: Overrides the global default speed for this elevator only.

Additional Notes

Without mods, horizontal elevators are twice as fast as vertical elevators (1.28s/foundation vs 2.56s/foundation.) This proved difficult to scale cleanly, resulting in ever increasing speed discrepancies at high settings. Instead, this mod changes the default horizontal elevator speed to be equal (in terms of foundations/sec) to the vertical elevator speed, so that they scale evenly together.

The scaling applied by this mod is non-linear, i.e., Taller/longer elevators will reach a higher maximum speed (and thus overall speed) than shorter elevators. This prevents short elevators from simply teleporting at high settings, and prevents tall elevators from feeling slower due to the lower initial acceleration. The exact curve is subject to change based on feedback.

Mod Compatibility

No vanilla assets modified, shouldn't have any compatibility issues. Uses the ConfigurableElevators component prefix namespace.
