Cabin terminal
The Cabin Terminal is the operating panel inside the car. It shows where the car is and lets passengers choose a floor, hold or close the doors and raise the alarm.
| Terminal | Look | Floor buttons on the panel |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin Terminal (Button Panel) | steel plate, display strip, square buttons, lowest floor bottom left | up to 9 |
| Cabin Terminal (Touchscreen) | black glass with a list of floors you tap, highest floor on top | up to 6 |
| Cabin Terminal (Brass Dial) | brass plate with a pointer dial and round buttons | up to 6 |
| Cabin Terminal (Station Console) | sloped console at handrail height as in German railway station elevators, round steel buttons with a green light ring, yellow emergency button | up to 8 |
With more floors than buttons, the panel shows the floors around the car's current floor. All floors are always reachable through the window.
Placing
Place the terminal on an inside wall of the cabin and glue it to the car with Super Glue. It sits flat on the wall, facing you; on a thin wall it moves back onto its surface.
Using the panel
Click the buttons directly on the panel, even while the car is moving:
| Button | Does |
|---|---|
| floor button | stores a call to that floor; the button lights up |
| door open | opens the doors again while they close, or keeps them open longer |
| door close | starts closing straight away |
| alarm | rings a bell and calls players within 48 blocks, see Faults and rescue |
The display shows the current floor and the direction of travel. The Brass Dial's pointer moves along with the car.
