Lift
Lift is a simple block used to descend from/mount back into your ship.
Here's a picture of a landing ship with it's 2 lifts:
A Lift is usually placed at the bottom of your ship, with a basic energy source. It projects a beam below it that can quickly move entities up (by default) above the lift, or down (with redstone) to the first solid block bellow it.
Like a door, you can place a pressure plate on the block right next to the lift to inverse the direction.
You can use them similarly inside your ship to move quickly between floors.
You can produce a Lift block with 1 Iron block, 1 Redstone, 1 Wool, 2 Lenses, 1 Computer Interface, 1 Power interface, 2 Glass panes. Depending on other mods installed, Iron block can be replaced with GT Basic Polarizer, IC2 Magnetizer, TE Translocation plate, EIO Redstone alloy.
As soon as enough energy is available, entities standing in the green projection will be moved on top of the lift. You can change the direction with redstone. In which case, entities standing on top of the lift or in the blue projection will be moved down to the base of the beam.
You can disable/enable its operation using the LUA enable() method.
You can also change the direction using the LUA mode() method.
Anti-gravity is the easiest way to go back to your ship, never underestimate its lifting power!
The LUA mode takes priority over redstone, allowing to force a constant Up or Down operation.
