How to build elevators and fix ‘You need to connect it to another elevator platform’ in Pokopia

Ditto cries in front of an elevator that's not working in Pokopia

Listen, not everything goes according to plan. Sometimes, life gives you lemons, and sometimes, your elevator platforms just won’t connect in Pokopia.

Okay, maybe that last one is a niche issue. But if you’re reading this, you’re probably struggling with it. It’s quite frustrating when you build an elevator in Pokopia and go to test it out only to get a pop-up box saying “you need to connect it to another elevator platform.” Luckily, there’s an easy fix, though the game doesn’t make it clear.

How to build an elevator in Pokopia

Pokopia teaches you how to build an elevator as part of its main quest in Sparkling Skylands, and it’s relatively straightforward: place two elevator platforms and connect them with ladders. You’ll automatically unlock the recipe for the item, which is as follows:

  • 8 Glass
  • 8 Concrete
  • 2 Tinkagear

The game will make it easy when you build your first elevator as part of the main quest; it already has most of the ladder built with the two floors in place. All you need to do is add a couple extra ladders, plop down the platforms, and you’re good to go.

Unfortunately, this makes it easy to accidentally mess up the next elevator you create.

“You need to connect it to another elevator platform” fix

If you’ve built an elevator on your own, you might’ve run into an issue where you can’t get on your elevator and you get a dialogue box saying “you need to connect it to another elevator platform.” It won’t make sense in the moment, especially if you’ve placed two elevator platforms and already connected them with a ladder. But if you get this pop-up, chances are there’s something blocking your elevator’s path.

The shaft of the elevator needs to be completely clear, or else the platforms won’t connect properly. That means you can’t place a platform on a ledge with only an opening around the ladder; the entire floor beneath the platform needs to be cleared.

This was the issue I ran into when building my first elevator independent of the main quest line. Even though I had cleared around the platform, I had a few blocks placed in my elevator’s pathway, as you can see in the images below. Once I removed those blocks, the elevator lights flipped on, and I could then enter the device.

So if you’re getting the pop-up error, try double-checking your elevator’s path and make sure it’s completely clear.
