On here, it could be a teleport which of course is very good because it is fast and should be able to teleport say 20 people at a time. Games like Now Boarding could have an ultimate plane, with great speed and capacity which costs over $100,000 (very expensive for that game) and maybe in Simcity the ultimate traffic simulator that shrinks Sims and sends them through telephone lines. The point is that usually when you are at the rich point in a game, you end up repeatedly building the same cheap items.

I'll keep it in mind for later. Another person has suggested having a 2d view of the elevators popup when you click on them, ala Sim Tower itself. I'll probably experiment with a few ideas and see which one works best. It's likely for later in development, though. That’s an interesting idea, something I haven’t thought of.

Moving the "slice" back and forth in one axis (selectable?) would allow you to look at different elevators and the floors they intersect. Keep up the good work!!
