Escalator is part of 2D Tower. Faster than stairs, but needs upkeep.
Overview
- Construction cost: $100,000
- Maintenance: $500 per day
- Active power use: 8
- Category: Transports
\n\n== How it works ==
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.
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.
