Appearance

Resembling a crafting surface, an electric elevator motor is silvery white in color with a vertical line in the middle and several shaded spots resembling indentions on each side.

Where Found

An electric elevator motor is created at a metalwork bench (either electric or level 2) for 1 steel block and 5-10 copper wires. More copper wires are required on the standard metalwork bench, but it also creates more shafts.

Use

There is no crafting possible with an elevator shaft, despite it being placed and passed by blockheads just like them. Instead, blockheads can climb placed shafts like ladders. Alternately, if a powered electric elevator motor is at the top or bottom of a continuous column of shafts, a traveling blockhead may enter the shaft at one point and very quickly exit at another.

Entering and exiting an elevator shaft is accompanied by a musical "ding" sound, with the exit sound being lower in tone than the enter sound. Visually, the shaft opens in the middle (like sliding doors) and the blockhead enters or exits.

Tapping on an elevator shaft will cause a blockhead to remove it.

It is possible to place a solid block over a elevator shaft to hide it, blockheads will still be able to travel through (the elevator must be powered). To recover the elevator shaft, the solid block must first be mined.

Notes

The first time a player has a blockhead use an elevator shaft, they earn the achievement "Ding."
