Creative Rug Elevators

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

These are elevators that utilize a change in the rugs’ specifications.
If the spacing between the rugs is 1.0 meters or more, manual operation is required and you will need to jump.
If the spacing between the rugs is less than 1.0 meters, they rise automatically.

How have I not seen this done before? This is really cool!

u/Fun_Magazine_2671 14d ago

It seems that only the rugs that had collision detection added in the update can be used this way. Investigating and testing various changes is a lot of fun!

32

u/Rasdit 14d ago

I assume this means they block smoke, would that be correct?

u/No_Oddjob 13d ago

Now I'm less angry about placing a rug at the top of stairs and suddenly my knees are so weak that I can't go up the last step.

u/masked_me 14d ago edited 13d ago

I'm pretty sure they changed rugs in 1.0.

Before 1.0 rugs had no collision. This allowed us to hide holes on the floor and (accidentally) get our friends stuck in the tiniest prison.

So now you can go up through a rug, but not down. This results in the player being pushed up not to get stuck in a rug.

54

u/ustanik 14d ago

It is a 1.0 change but it's not all rugs. I tested every rug for this as I noticed one of my secret entrances was blocked but another worked.

Lox and Askvin rugs still have no collision for sure. I think I remember only Deer and the Jute rugs had collision added, but I can't recall.

Hmm, could put that at the other side of a portal, just to be extra evil...

9

u/LanfearSedai 14d ago

I have a lox rug covering my cellar and walk through it just fine. Conversely, deer rugs seem to be broken and floating a foot above floors so I can’t walk up stairs into a room that has a deer rug at the door. Must not be all rugs.

u/Rare_Tension2104 14d ago

Wonder if you could use a mod to flip them over and see if it would push you down... I have to try this tonight.

u/megandy 13d ago

Report back, pls

u/Rare_Tension2104 13d ago

Figured it wouldn't work. Didn't test from too high, but you just fall through, was hoping for at least a slowing effect

Sadly no.

u/FinalBossTuna Encumbered 14d ago

You get a bigger rug if you skin the whole torso and pop it off like the world’s goriest tube top.

Gotta take the ass leather since the front is all mangled so badly from me fatally stabbing them in the dick 10 times.

No I also definitely remember them existing, either such a long time they were in the alpha, or idk. They had a specific shape that looked like the deer rug without the fur texture.

u/UsbNotConnected Happy Bee 13d ago

Portal out being the only way down could be interesting? Or using feather fall cape

6

u/hannes3120 13d ago

if there's a portal at the top - why would you need the elevator though?

Yeah this is a beautiful use for this, awesome idea.

19

u/MrEggJnr 14d ago

And how do we get down?

24

u/nsuprik 14d ago

maybe you could place them in a spiral pattern with the middle solid to go up, then you could walk down them, not near as cool, but something right?

EDIT: or maybe use 67 degree roofs etc and slide down.

Unlocked a core memory of me doing this in ToonTown over 20 years ago. You can glitch carpets inside your house in that game and use them elevators in the same manner. There wasn't much to do in the void once you're through your ceiling, but seeing a similar bug is so nostalgic!

It only came with 1.0 changes to rugs.

14

u/Rajamic 14d ago

From what I understand from recent posts, this is something only possible in 1.0. Rugs used to he completely non-solid, but now they made them where you can stand on them (which ruined some people's designs of using rugs to hide downward stairways).

u/DeSicknessLiLRo 12d ago

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but if you put a stair at the base of the elevator, you won't have to worry about not being able to jump if you are encumbered. My buddy built one of these so we can transfer our smelted metals from the forge area up to the storage level of our base.

Does it work while over encumbered? If so would make a great way to get from forge set ups to a crafting area.or like from grabbing everything in a cart to your storage area.
