Description:

Makes the carshop lifts functional, removing the need for a jack when the car is near the lift.

Move the lift to your own car shop!

Enabling the option to convert the vanilla tiles, you will be able to pick-up the world car lifts and place them on your own base. It requires a screwdriver and Electrical Level 3, and will result in four heavy parts. Be careful, it can break! Improve your chances with more Electrical level.
(Mechanical or Metalworking requirements were not possible with how moveable tiles work.)

Sandbox options

Range: The distance range from the vehicle where the car lift operates.
Require Power: Indicates if the car lift requires available power to operate, whether it is from hydro (world power) or a generator.
Convert to Movable Tiles: Convert vanilla tiles into moveable tiles. This process can be undone with the revert option.
Revert to Vanilla Tiles: Revert moveable car lift tiles into vanilla tiles. To succesfully revert, this option must be kept enabled until ALL tiles are reverted.

Frequently Asked Questions

– Why a screwdriver and electrical skill for picking up?
– Well, how moveable system works is by using tiles created in TileZed. These tiles have properties, and in those properties you select the tool required to pick it up from a list, and that tool also carries the required skill (you cannot pick a wrench with carpentry skill). So, unfortunately the wrench has no skill associated, and I didn’t want to make it easy to pick up. So screwdriver, which has electrical skill requirement attached, was the second best choice. FOUND A WAY! Now you can pick-up and place the lift parts with a Wrench and Mechanics skill.

– Why does my vehicle don’t fit in the lift?
– Some vanilla car lift on small repair shops have only 2 squares without hitboxes, so the fit is TIGHT. Big repair shops’ lifts are wider (3 squares without hitboxes), and you can build your own custom width car lift.

Roadmap
