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.

{{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.

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.

A shaft requires 2 cars plus 2 additional cars per floor.

Strategy

Use a Paternoster fits well in areas that have little traffic but still need elevator transport access. Carts and bins used by workers can also be used on a Paternoster.
