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.
