Continuous Elevator Will Break Progression If Using Both Regular and Continuous Elevator
As title says, if you spawn both the space elevator and the continuous space elevator, the visual indicators for phase progression are permanently broken. As in, it will show material requirements for a random phase, require us to continue to the next phase, and will give an option at the regular space elevator to pull the lever which doesnt work. Also, when giving proper materials to the continuous space elevator, it does not change the visual indicators. And upon reloading, will sometimes swap to random phases.
Yes on the modpage it says a dynamic alternative but I and my friends as dumbass users thought we needed the regular space elevator to actually advance, and the continuous to maintain the phase we're currently on. We've accepted that my save is bricked, but please, I beg, put a warning on the modpage that you must only use the continuous space elevator, and using both will cause potentially save bricking bugs.

@AndreAquila just FYI

You may be able to fix it if you uninstall the mod, then load up and resave your game, then do this:
Certain issues in save files can sometimes be fixed by running your save through the interactive map.
First, find your save file by pasting
%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames into Windows Explorer.
Then, open Satisfactory Calculator's Interactive Map, upload and download your save as shown below, and move the resulting _CALCULATOR.sav file back into your save game folder.
Load it up, and hope for the best!
I believe you can also set your current phase in SCIM, might be worth doing that before downloading it
Hmmm good to know. I'm putting the note in the modpage now. I will try to reproduce it here to see if i can fix.
Loading the savegame in the scim can help. Or using the research cheat mod and setting to the final phase with Beat the game mod maybe will reset it to phase 1 too.
What I have experienced is that randomnly i will lose access to the machines even when they are feed on time, a full game restart fixes the issue until it pop ups again, if you go to the main menu and reload you will be still locked
started to be more evident before reaching the point to start making phase 4 parts
If you can, test this mod to see if it unlocks your Space Elevator:

Hmm got it Kublick. I will try to solve it asap
Hello. Similar issue here. I've made the mistake building both and now even after going through the steps listed above + installing the mod fix, I cannot progress:
Building the Continuous Elevator doesn't let me pass the quest 'Build the elevator'.
if it helps here is my save... in a few minutes you will lose mk belt 5 / blender from example (parts are being feed from the previous tiers)
I think the space elevator have to always be on the game to remove this objective. But in theory you dont need to interact with it.
Nice kublick, this will help me a lot . Thanks
Oh I see. If I do put the regular elevator down, the quest with Items for phase 1 (1000-1000-500) shows up. Is that intended? (Might just be).
Yes. I think i will hide that ui in the next version. It confuses the real goal per minute of that mod.
Alrighty then, in that case I'll just resume this playthrough. Thanks a lot!!!
really enjoying the extra challenge.. just reading in here so i dont need to original space elevator at all ? I was using both one to feed the required phase items and the continuos for the objective based š
Hmm.. yeah, you can dismatle the normal one, and keep feeding the continuous, to maintain the correct Elevator Phase. If you dont feed the continuous one, it will get back to phase 2 š
Yeah Iām feeding it with the parts to maintain the phase, I was using the normal one to feed the new parts and be able to launch it and move to the next phase
Does the continous elevator mod still work with the 12 slot elevator mod?
Hey Sidd. It works but the Continuous Elevator mod uses a different Space Elevator, that you can build many of them and is already automated.
Cool
