PlexLifts and Space Stations Question

[Maknoe]

Simple enough, how do you make plexlifts work on a ship and if they can't by any means work on a ship, how do you make them work at all?

From what I understand they are for big ships (which I'm trying to make) and space stations. But also what is defined as a space station. How do I make a space station and how do I know that the game recognizes it as a space station.

Plex lifts will NOT work on space ships, only on space stations. To create a space station, you press M, rather than X, and if you have 1,000,000 credits, they will be deducated a single gray hull will be created, you can then place a build block on this grey hull, and enter the build block as you would a ship core, (its build mode only, so no thrusters!), thus allowing you to build your stattion. This is a space station, and the game recognizes it as such.

Thanks, that really helps. Although I have one more question. Can you place thrusters on space stations to make them move? Or do they have to stay STATIONary at all times.

They are indeed stationary at all times, it is a building in space. If you want a moving space station, just make a ship.
