Space Elevator

"That’s why you’re sent to that planet. You [have] to build this thing, you construct this giant space elevator and you funnel resources into it in a few stages. You can finish [Satisfactory] and get to the end and press the ‘I Win’ button."

- Oscar Jilsén

The Space Elevator is a large structure related to the game-end objective, "Project Assembly". It must be constructed and then be used to send resources into orbit. Each delivery unlocks 2 higher tiers of milestones. It has a size of 7 x 7 foundations.

It can be visible from all parts of the map, making it a useful beacon for navigation.

Food court
According to Jace and Sofi, there is supposedly a food court at the top of the space elevator, but they are very likely trolling. No fish is served there.

Some players have made it to the top.

Building and Relocation
The building of space elevator is compulsory for unlocking Tier 3 and above. There can be only one space elevator to be built in a game. It can be dismantled and relocated any time if the player wishes to.

In a multiplayer game, the space elevator is shared among all players.

Trivia
After each delivery the space elevator will ascends to sky for a few minutes then descends back to lower level.

In a multiplayer game, if an Engineer is ready to send off the items, by pulling the handle Seal -> Send, the other engineers will not able to see the animated space elevator UI, should they opened the UI at the same time.
