	~~Escalator is part of 2D Tower. Faster than stairs, but needs upkeep.~~
	~~== Overview ==~~
	* Construction cost: {{Game Money\|cost=50000}}
	* Maintenance: {{Game Money\|cost=250}} per day

			Escalator provides a faster way to move people between floors than stairs, but requires power and has maintenance cost.

			They are best for short connections rather than a tower-wide route.
			== Tall escalators ==
	~~== How it works ==~~		When placed across a two-story room or two-story wallpaper, the escalator will span three floors instead of the usual 2.
	~~Escalators are local vertical transport with 1 idle and 8 active power use.~~ They are best for short connections rather than a tower-wide route.

	== Tall ~~openings~~ ==
	When placed across a two-story room or two-story wallpaper, the ~~tool selects~~ the ~~taller escalator variant. It costs {{Game Money\|cost=100000}} to build and {{Game Money\|cost=500}} per day to maintain, uses~~ 2 ~~idle or 16 active power, and takes 10 in-game minutes to traverse.~~

	~~== Strategy ==~~
	Use Escalators to join adjacent high-traffic floors—such as related shops or a lobby cluster—while relying on elevators for longer travel. They can relieve queues locally but do not replace a planned vertical transport spine.
