Notes

The Wooden Elevator is a placeable world object used for moving loads vertically, with a 4x4x3 footprint that must sit on solid ground and be grid-aligned. It belongs to the Elevator category and is tagged for placement on unowned land, making it useful for shared or public infrastructure. If building in a settlement, consider coordinating placement with others to ensure vertical transport routes serve the community efficiently.
