[OPEN LOW] Can't delete extra elevators

DESCRIPTION:
Unable to delete extra elevators

STEPS
Step 1:  I've built a 5-storey building, adding all foundations first before interiors.



Step 2:  When I started adding elevators on the first floor, four more floors with elevators were added on top, bringing the new total of floors of my building to nine.



Step 3:  Deleting an extra elevator would delete its chain entirely.




NOTES
I have disabled autosave prior to appearance of bug unfortunately.  But this is my first time building on a 96x96 in sandbox mode.  Need help! huhu


Thank you so much!

Hi, thanks for the message! I think this can happen if you mod the game to allow more floors, add as many as possible before starting to build and then building elevators last (these will always go all the way to the top floor, regardless of what was built there). Is it possible this is the case here?

It should be possible the fix the issue by hand in the save, have you continued working on the building in the meantime or is the attached save the latest one?

Thanks so much for responding! Yes, haha! That's what exactly happened.  I had subscribed to a mod and then uninstalled it later.  Mmm, I saved a new one where I just added floors for the extra elevators, but kept the old one.  Today I tried uninstalling the game entirely and installing it back.  Then I tried building on the original one and still got the same extra elevators (different save file).

Now that I understand this has something to do with the mod, I'll try to notify the author/s.

In the meantime, is there anything I can do on my end to revert the game?  I still want to continue my old game.

I really appreciate your time.

Regards.

Hi, I'm attempting this completely blind as I can't verify this in game because of the mods used, but could you try the attached save? Basically I just deleted 4 extra floors in the xml with the save, you can look for <FloorPersistentData> in case you'd like to edit another save in the future.

Btw - this isn't directly caused by the mod, it can happen also if you for example add 5 floors in the vanilla game and only use three - the best approach is to build the ground floor and only then add another one, the game will automatically copy the shape (and optionally walls), so this can save quite a bit of work.

Yesss it worked! I tried adding an elevator in another wing and no extra elevators were added.

Thank you so much for your time!

Regards.
