So the space elevator is an interesting building to say the least. It has 6 automated inputs, which I have never used because you can just mas produce whatever you need and place stuff in there manually and not have to worry about cleaning up the conveyors for the next milestone.

But watch closely in the teaser from a year ago between 1:58 and 2:06 https://youtu.be/i5TogHASrCo

There is a structure above the space elevator, and I believe AIDA refers to something early game called project assembly. I think this is project assembly. And yes, I know alot has changed between then and now, the elevator goes up realy high, and much faster than in the original teaser, but I believe the dev team and jace said there would eventualy be a win condition. I would assume the space elevator has something to do with that win condition.

So here is my theory. Once all the tiers are unlocked, the space elevator will begin to require massively large quantities of end tier resources to build whatever massive structure is up there from the teaser. It will then no longer require you to manually send stuff up into space, it will go up on it's own pereoticly to deliver whatever you have provided for it. IE once 10000 items are reached deliver up and come back down rinse and repeat.

But anyway that's my conspiracy theory. I would love to hear yours.

I GOT JACE'S ATENTION, I feel so accomplished.

Also think il take the time to say that satisfactory is a fantastic game and I have around 120 hours on my first save and just finished nuclear. It has been a wild ride and I cant wait for the many updates to come.

Thanks for all the hard work you and the dev team do.

aww tyty <3
