City Lift

A Dalmer city lift is a cylindrical tower with a dome atop it. The lift is composed of the shaft, used for transporting users in and out of the settlement below, and the dome, used in defensive scenarios.
Used similarly to an escalator, they can be used alternatively to go up or down. The lift works by a user having a short period of time to get on the platform, merchandise and all, before the lift goes down. The platform will go down for a short period of time before stopping, then the next platform will come into place itself atop the user, where the next user will get on. This process repeats until the user reaches the bottom. Once at the bottom, the user will have a small window of time to get itself and its things off the platform before it will tuck itself into the walls of the shaft and return to the surface.
The dome at the top of the lift serves other purposes, it often houses utilities such as radio control towers, traffic management offices, police stations, or even military installations. Should the need arise, the lifts can retract themselves back into the ground.
