Add a "Service Elevator" to the Resonance Archive Library (Spoilers)

[Professor Dragon]

ISSUE
There is a lot of loot worth having in the Resonance Archive Library - and from the Resonance Archive in general.
The walk is long and the climb tedious to get back out.

SUGGESTION
Add a "Service Elevator" to the Resonance Archive, which takes you back to the top level.

It could be a wooden platform with a fixed trunk, attached by ropes like the winch first encountered.
Or a fancier elevator with brass details, befitting the rest of the Library decor. 

Perhaps it exits to a corridor with a door that can only be opened from the inside to your original entry point to the Resonance Archive. Once this door is opened, it either stays opened, or can be opened from both sides from that point on. (Perhaps with a key, to allow multi-player so that the door is not always open once one player clears it.)

BACKGROUND

There is an existing winch there, so the technology exists.
We have the Boiler powered up.
There is a lot of nice loot in the whole place.

Having cleared the horrors, let us take our fancy finery out in style!

I wouldn't mind this, provided that it's something the player unlocks the use of only after having completed at least a portion of the Archive's puzzles. Perhaps the player could find the required key and/or parts within the Bell Workshop, which is both a reasonable place to find such, as well as early enough in the puzzles that it would feel useful.

I will note though, that the winch in question seems designed to be operated by a surface crew, and not the workers deeper within. I could be wrong, but I've always presumed that's the reason it's non-functional.

I've just played the Story Chapter 2 location - and there is a perfectly servicable lift there!

It is already in game! And it looks very nice too. (Add a storage trunk to it and would be even better.)

So if this could also be implemented into the Story 1 location, that would be grand.
 

QUESTION: Does the lift in the Chapter 2 location work for anyone in v1.21.5? 
It no longer has the four levers on the floor as per the Wiki - that is now out of date:

This image is of the old setup. New setup just has one lever on the ground, and an up/down on the lift.
I didn't take a screenshot though.

And although I could CALL the lift, the up and down levers did not work.

Thanks.

I had a similar issue when I “played through” (read: /player s[] gm creative, fly to the top, hit the boss a couple times, die, repeat) that story location (I have a low tolerance for personal failure, despite the nearly unlimited time I have to spend in game). There were two elevators, one of which did not work, and the other which did. The trick is to get on at the second floor, I found.
