I've got a question regarding moonbase connections...not sure if this has been
discussed. If so, someone point me to the link, and I'll be on my building
way..
but...
Say you're making a multi-tiered moonbase module and want to have two
hallways/connection points on top of each other (In my case here, I've got an
"X" on the first level, with an "I" sitting above it--before you wonder, yes,the
I will be used for a monorail transfer point).
I would like to make sure that the second level connector matches up to a
standard.
Since there is a current standard for the primary connectors (10 studs up until
the first floor plate), and the monorail (10 and 20 studs, and so on at 10 stud
intervals), is there a standard for the height of a second corridor?
Since there is a floor plate and a ceiling plate when making hallways, that
results in a height that is x bricks and 2 plates--so saying that the bottom
plate of a second level is x bricks causes a geometric error...unless you have
to slip a layer of plates in prior to a second level.
Another option is to specify a specific brick height between the two connection
rings. I've done some calculations and placing two bricks between the
connection rings provides a standard, and pretty closely matches the monorail
height elevations to the floor of each level. It starts to break down at level
5, where the 50 brick high monorail standard is now one brick above the floor
plate of level 5.
Placing 3 bricks between the connection rings also works, but I think that a
height of 3 bricks is a little extreme.
Anybody feel free to chime in on a second/third/etc level height standard

| (...) Hey Scott, as far as I understand it - leveled connection points follow a similiar rule to the monorail: first floor at 10, 2nd at 20, 3rd at 30, etc (of course, 10bricks + 1 plate). I think jon is working on updating the official moonbase (...) (20 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
