Although it has two terminals in its model, the player can interact with the Space Elevator from any angle.This means that the total number of parts needed in every phase is higher than the initial phase requirements for that part (e.g. the Modular Engine is needed 500 times in Phase 3 and 2 500 times in Phase 4 (for crafting 1 000 Thermal Propulsion Rockets). Most project parts from later phases also need project parts from earlier phases, e.g.

Project Assembly phases Initial phase requirements Phase The handle in the UI doesn't sync between players. In a multiplayer game, the Space Elevator and its progress is shared among all players. If the package is sealed, but not sent, and the UI is closed, the handle will have to be re-pulled again (Load → Seal). After a while, it will come back down and dock in its default position. When sent, an animation will play where the cargo platform will be ejected up into space, gliding along the central rail. Once the required items are fully satisfied, use the mouse and drag the handle down, 2 times (Load → Seal → Send). Once an item has been loaded into the elevator, it cannot be retrieved. Project Assembly Parts can be manually supplied from the inventory Tab ↹, or with connected conveyors. Only one Space Elevator can be built in a game however, it can be dismantled and relocated without losing progress at any time. The Space Elevator must be constructed to unlock Tier 3 and above.
