UNSC Orbital Elevator - Orbital Station Component

Description
The Orbital Elevator, also called a space elevator or the tether, is a colossal structure utilized on all major human colonies prior to the Human-Covenant war. It can transport people and goods from planet-side to high orbit (and vice versa). This is the final and completing component, allowing for ships to move supplies from orbit to ground.

Once a human colony has become productive and begins to export massive amounts of goods off-world, Orbital Elevators are installed. With tendril rails miles and miles long, reaching far out of the atmosphere and out of the major gravitational pull of the planet, the scale of the elevator is an impressive feat of engineering. Harvest had seven such elevators to export food, which served as vital means for evacuating the planet when the Covenant attacked. However, the elevators are highly vulnerable to attack and, if sufficiently damaged, will crash down and cause wide-scale damage.

- - - - - Orbital station: A civilian station that would be used as the basis for the Orbital Defense Platforms. Features storage, connectors for freighters to load/offload supplies, many modifiable rooms and artificial gravity.

ok I get it now

I tried to make it very long one on 120 km world

First: you build the 1km Tether Component about how long you want to build it into space.

Second: place the Orbital Station Component on end of the 1km Tether Component.

Third: copy the whole thing (CTRL C) the 1KM and Orbital station and place it on the Anchor component.

there you go

ok so does it need to be 0.00 P-Gravity ?

Really? I don't remember that originally being the case, but this is an older build. God, three years have flown. I doubt I can update this but I'll add it to the "fubar" list

this doesnt seem to have any oxygen or heating, with the exception of the room that leads to the bridge

Thanks

The sides where the blocks poke out indicate the sides you want to match so the cart comes up to the right place

thanks for the help

You copy/paste at the bottom rails and paste the station to the top of the rails, alternatively you can potentially use merge blocks

I like this alot but i just cant figure out how to put it on the top
