	~~A Paternoster~~ is a ~~continuously moving~~ passenger ~~transport~~. Its ~~cars serve every floor in~~ the ~~shaft~~. ~~Cars draw power continuously~~, ~~and carrying passengers adds to consumption~~.		The paternoster is a continuous loop of passenger cars that can span up to 15 floors. Its continuous nature allows passengers to move up and down at the same time. Due to the limited capacity of the cars, its throughput will be lower than that of elevators.

	~~A shaft requires 2 cars plus 2 additional cars per floor. Each car costs {{Game Money\|cost=25000}} to build and {{Game Money\|cost=400}} per day to maintain, in addition to the system cost~~.		Workers pushing carts can use a paternoster.

	Paternoster is a transport ~~system~~ in ~~2D Tower~~. ~~Continuous-loop lift with limited capacity. Requires~~ 2 cars plus 2 additional cars per floor.		A Paternoster is a continuously moving passenger transport. Its cars serve every floor in the shaft and its power use remains constant regardless of whether it is carrying passengers or not.
	== ~~Overview~~ ==
	* Construction cost: {{Game Money\|cost=175000}}		A shaft requires 2 cars plus 2 additional cars per floor.
	* Maintenance: ,{{Game Money\|cost=0}} per day
	* Active power use: 1		== Strategy ==

	{{Navbox Transports}}~~\n\n== How it works ==~~		{{Navbox Transports}}
	A Paternoster is a continuously moving passenger transport. Its cars serve every floor in the shaft regardless of service-floor toggles, and its power use includes idle, loading, moving, and active-passenger components.

	~~== Strategy ==~~
	Use a Paternoster where continuous all-floor access is more valuable than selective express service. It is a poor fit for a route that needs skipped floors, but its always-moving cars can complement elevators on a busy, compact vertical corridor.
