Nhatanh0475: Adding more information about the new variant and it functionality. Rephrase some line to fit more concise, neutral, and consistent with the tone used like Wikipedia

= Description =
The elevator allows easy travel to other floors.

= Use =
Elevators provide convenient access between floors and consist of two placement types: Elevator Level, used on floors where the elevator stops, and Elevator Shaft, used on intermediate floors. 
Logic and numbering are automatically applied, and an elevator car is generated when a level is built. 
 All levels must face the same direction so that their spines align.

 Warning: All elevator-placements need to be connected. Otherwise it seems like one elevator, but in reality you build several stacked and won't be able to travel from level to level.

}}

The shaft section to build on floors it should not open like floor frames etc. 
Currently does not require power. 
The elevator has two variants: an older cable version and a newer non-cable version. Despite the visible wiring and the "cable" designation, the shaft does not transmit power along its spine in either model. Both variants can function without being directly connected to a power source.

The elevator level provides an entrance/exit stop for the elevator car. 
Requires power to open the door automatically and use the call button. 
Note: The default variant (without the cable suffix) lacks a power and data port, making it nonfunctional on its own. The "Elevator Level (Cable)" version includes the necessary port for power connection. The elevator system operates as long as at least one "Elevator Level (Cable)" module is powered, allowing movement between floors. However, any unpowered "Elevator Level (Cable)" units will have nonfunctional call buttons, although players can still enter the elevator and travel between floors.

= Description = 

Sensors are used to detect various parameters of their surroundings. 
Only the [[Sensors#Daylight_Sensor|Daylight Sensor]] can be accessed directly by pointing at it. The other sensors require a [[Handheld Tablet]] with a [[Cartridge#Configuration|Configuration Cartridge]] to be accessed manually. 
Their outputs can also be accessed using a [[Kit_(Logic_I/O)#Logic_Reader|Logic Reader]] or an [[Integrated Circuit (IC10)|Integrated Circuit]] inserted in an [[Kit (IC Housing)|IC Housing]].

= <big>Daylight Sensor</big> = 

The daylight sensor reports whether the sun hits the large grid the sensor is in, as well as the solar angle. Looking at the sensor will provide a tool-tip readout of this information, even when not connected to the network. The orientation of the daylight sensor is important, it will read different angle values depending on the orientation.

While <kbd>Vertical</kbd> and <kbd>Vertical mode</kbd> have the same value, '''<kbd>Horizontal</kbd> and <kbd>Horizontal mode</kbd> have opposite values''' (inverted sign).}}

! Value !! Name !! Description
|-
| 0 || Default || The sensor will return the absolute value of the angle formed by the source of light and the normal vector of the sensor (towards which the grey/green part is facing). 0 means the source of light is facing to the sensor, 90 means it is aligned with the surface the sensor was laid on, and 180 means the source of light is in the back of the sensor. The angle is always a positive value between 0 and 180.
|-
| 1 || Horizontal || Returns the angle from the position of the source of light parallel to the surface of the sensor. The angle can be negative, ranging between -180 and +180.
|-
| 2 || Vertical || The sensor measures the angle from the position of the light source perpendicular to the surface of the sensor.

</gallery>
=== Examples ===
* If you lay a sensor on the ground, facing upwards, connector towards south,configured in horizontal mode, it will work like a compass with 0 = north, 90 = east, 180 = south and -90 = west

* On the Moon/space : '''Note: these values are approximation and may vary slightly because of realistic orbital simulation'''
** If the daylight sensor is fixed on the floor, it will report 90 degrees at sunrise, up to 0 degrees at noon, back to 90 degrees at sunset, to 180 degrees at midnight, and back to 90 at sunrise.
** If fixed on a ceiling the cycle will be opposite, i.e.: 90 -> 180 -> 90 -> 0 -> 90.
** If fixed to an east facing wall, the cycle from sunrise is: 0 -> 90 -> 180 -> 90 -> 0.
** If fixed to a west facing wall, the cycle is opposite, i.e.: 180 -> 90 -> 0 -> 90 -> 180.
** If fixed to a north or south facing wall it will stay at 90 degrees all the time.

== Solar tracking ==

Tracking the sun using a Daylight Sensor allow [[Solar_Panel|Solar Panels]] to be more efficient by making them perpendicular to the light rays. 
However, the orientation of the Daylight Sensor and Solar Panels must be taken into account and a [[Kit_(Logic_Processor)#Math_Unit|Math Unit]] may be required to correct the offset. 
This [[Solar_Logic_Circuits_Guide|guide]] explains in detail how to set up a solar tracking circuit for solar panels.

= <big>Motion Sensor</big> =

The motion sensor activates when a player or a non static object (such as a thrown item or a portable device) enters the large grid cube where the sensor is located, and deactivates when there are no more players or objects. Despite its name, the sensor will stay activated even if the entity does not move inside the cube. 
This sensor can be useful to build systems that activate when the player is in a specific position (such as automatic doors for example). To check an entire room or area, see [[Sensors#Occupancy_Sensor|Occupancy Sensor]] and [[Sensors#Proximity_Sensor|Proximity Sensor]].

= <big>Occupancy Sensor</big> =

The Occupancy Sensor detects the presence of a player when placed within a defined room. A defined room is when the game detects the space is entirely closed off from the rest of the world with walls, doors, etc. These do not need to be in the finished state to count as sealing a room. 
''Note: You can determine if a room is define by using the [[Cartridge#Atmos_Analyzer|Atmos Analyzer]] [[Cartridge]] with the [[Handheld_Tablet|tablet]]. If the top says "Room #" the room is sufficiently closed in.'' 

Unlike to the [[Sensors#Motion_Sensor|Motion Sensor]], the Occupancy Sensor does not detect other entities such as thrown items or portable devices. 
The Occupancy Sensor can be configured with a [[Cartridge#Atmos_Analyzer|Access Controller]] [[Cartridge]] in a [[Handheld_Tablet|tablet]] to only detect and report players equipped with a specific [[Access Card]]. 

This sensor can be great for systems that need to be activated when a player enters or leaves a room, such as lighting and other machines to preserve energy. 
To detect players outside of a base or in a certain part of room only, the [[Sensor#Motion_Sensor|Motion Sensor]] and the [[Sensor#Proximity_Sensor|Proximity Sensor]] can be used.

= <big>Proximity Sensor</big> =

The Proximity Sensor will detect players inside a spherical zone with a radius set by the <code>Setting</code> parameter. This value can be up to 250m and can be set using the dial on the sensor. 
''Note: By pressing the Quantity Change key, you can increment by 10 instead of 1 when using the dial.'' 

Like the [[Sensors#Occupancy_Sensor|Occupancy Sensor]], the Proximity Sensor can be configured with a [[Cartridge#Atmos_Analyzer|Access Controller]] [[Cartridge]] in a [[Handheld_Tablet|tablet]] to only detect and report players equipped with a specific [[Access Card]].
