Satisfactory: This is the Space Elevator - all info

The concept of a space elevator has been covered in numerous science fiction media. In Satisfactory, the impressive construct also exists and serves a special purpose there.

Transporting materials into space: the Space Elevator brings precious cargo into orbit.

Progress in Satisfactory is divided into tiers ("Tiers"). Only with the Space Elevator you unlock higher tiers.

Satisfactory: Space Elevator brings progress

You can build the Space Elevator quite early.

• It requires several special project parts to unlock the next tiers.
• This happens in the following steps: You unlock technological ranks 1 and 2 without a space elevator. The levels 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, and 9 and 10 are achieved in the Space Elevator in each case in the double pack.
• While requirements are increasingly demanding in the special parts. This affects both the production chains and the quantities.
• You can not produce these parts at the workbench, but only in the assembler or in the Manufacturer.

So between the progress levels passes a relatively long time. In this you get to know the newly acquired technologies and build them into your processes. There is no reason to rush because of this; you should always take care of the Space Elevator only when the current technologies have been sufficiently implemented, otherwise the path to the special parts would be extremely tedious.
