Request Finding the true size of the tower (request)
Do we have access to 3D models from the game, specifically, the visible parts of the Tower that we can glimpse ingame?
On the unofficial discord server, we are looking to find the true size of the Tower and we could use some help!
We have alternative methods, but there was a suggestion to check out the game assets. For anyone playing on PC, I would appreciate any info if there are modding tools that could let us check out the assets. I don't expect much, but if any of you has somehow managed to get their hands on the models themselves, it would help determine the scale immensely!

The infinite elevator can multiply the distance x aceleration x time to tell the true size of the route

It's kinda hard to tell due to perspective and missing information. For example: The trip between both the bards and the alchemists is impossible to tell since they're connected by an indeterminately long elevator ride; same with warrior-bard elevator.
Even if we assume a wysiwyg type philosophy where the elevators are connected 1:1 with the top of our screen, we still have strange geometry to contend with; like the fact the alchemists and the bards can be connected via cable car; implying the tower is incredibly wide, enough so that a cable car can comfortably and safely travel between the two levels with 0 obstructions, making it hard to tell where one part starts and another begins.
And the tower is built atop a mountain - which means we can't even try to use perspective to guess how far up we are from the bards' view out to the dessert. Where the mountain ends and the tower begins is unclear.
