[RESOLVED] Elevator Not Placing Correct When Floor is added

[Im not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but when I have elevators and I build a new floor they are always offset 90 degrees and I have to demolish the elevators and rebuild them I know it’s only a minor bug but building the elevators each time does cost money.

Many Thanks

Hi, thanks for the report - what version of the game are you playing? This bug has been fixed in 1.1.16587.4, the latest version on Steam/GOG.
Btw as it's related to camera rotation, there's also a workaround - you can switch camera to the original orientation with ambulance drop-off zone on the bottom right before building a new floor.

I was playing on the latest version and as this is not the first time it happened I thought of that workaround and unfortunately it did not work however it way have been an old save so hopefully it all works out.

Many thanks

I had this happen a few nights ago. Seemed the only elevators not affected were ones that I used an Elevator Planner for - even if the elevator had been placed. Any that did not have the planner, were several tiles away from the original. And, when I went to place the elevator in the correct spot, I received an error message to the effect of - Item is Blocked. It was fixed only by deleting the elevator on the floor beneath and then replacing it. Not sure if it matters or not, but if I remember correctly, with the non-affected elevators, I had forgotten to delete the planner marker. Just plopped an elevator right on top. I"m certain this was after the patch.

Hi, thanks for the update! It looks like there were two different but related bugs:
- adding new floor with rotated camera would cause wrong elevator placement for all elevators (this is the one fixed in last patch)
- building an elevator with rotated camera wouldn't correctly save the 'rotated' position used to copy the elevator when adding floors (I'm testing a fix now, should be ready in the next patch)

Thank you.
