Hello,
Would be nice to have a vanilla elevators:

I think this block is a must-have. I've attempted many ship builds with pistons for elevators, and they take up too much space on my ship and do not work well for just having a simple elevator for your ship. I think having the option to have a simple block work as an elevator is best for players who don't want to compromise the design of their ships to add something that completely changes how the ship looks and functions.

Blocks that allow for intuitive and functional elevator designs are certainly needed. Not sure it needs to be implemented like the mods though. I think small mechanical blocks (pistons, hinges, and rotors) can handle the task if they have sufficient variants, good control, and block collision can be properly avoided in tighter tolerances.

if the new engine allows sub grids, to operate as a sub components of a parent grid; then yeah, this would be great to have.

In one of the screenshots of the "hotfix" it showed us gears. Im certain we will be able to utilize these in some way later on, which may be useful for building our own elevators.
But i agree, having some sort of focus on Elevators for us, is huge i think. Up vote!

Yes... yes... yes... I also use these mods suggested by the author, as they are missing in the vanilla version of the game.

I would suggest making elevators based on the conveyor mechanics, Basically add a "elevator shaft" that is the basically a conveyor for people. I think that would be really simple, clean, and expandable in terms of modding and functionality.

I've been asking for maglev elevators.
Basically the major build categories in the game with the introduction of water, in order of popularity will probably be: Spaceships, vehicles, boats, tanks, mechs, submarines, trains.
With elevators being all purpose in their own category.
If you add a block to build elevators, the block could respectively affect the creation of trains. Therefore allowing improvements and ease of access/efficiency in making elevators and trains. (and also sliding hangar doors)
I imagine it's just a block with a magnetic strip/line through it, and if you put another block on the opposite side they would levitate against each other, add a button and you set the direction they move etc. Apparently SE1 elevators used to be made of connectors, since connectors had a slight pull toward them it enabled an elevator to move up or down etc. So in similar fashion this block would work but it wouldn't be designed as a connector but a maglev block and would therefore work better and visually represent what it was designed for: Magnetic levitation.
The implications for improving trains is obvious. As well as for making elevators that move both vertically and horizontally.
Of course elevators like this exist. https://www.ironlev.com/news/2020/3/6/world-first-magnetic-levitation-elevator
