Elevator levels
The elevator is nice! When you only want from highest to lowest point.
A wall mounted item, that stops the elevator would be nice.
So yes, when you have 5 diff floors, you need to press the button a bit more often, but Im pretty sure, people would be totally fine with that, because the other option is to use the stop button and hope its not too high or too low
A small and a large modern elevator would be the other option! Small one not for vehicles, just for players. And when you click the button (the only button), you get a small display and you can see for example:
-1, 0 and up to 5. (The names of the wall mounted elevator level/stopper) and the elevator is going there without any more stops

- For the 'emergency' solution: Since the whole main debate revolves around being able to align the elevator to the ground, all it would take is for the control panel to be modified to set a 'landmark', and for the red buttons to be there to indicate 'next stop'. The user experience would be exactly the same: Press 'down' to go down, and the improvement would be to click on the red 'down' so that it stops at the next mark down. For the lift, same thing, except here we use the red 'up' button and the elevator stops correctly at the next waypoint. - For the final solution: A control panel with floor numbers would quickly make the experience unpleasant with many floors. I would rather suggest an 'empty box' in which to type the desired number. The really important thing would be to be able to manage level 0. And still in 'empty box' mode, all you have to do is type 3 or type -4 or even type 0 to go directly to the desired floor.
