People Mover

You ever been walking through the airport and reveled in how fast you can get from place to place on the moving walkways? Maybe you only caught your flight because you were able to get the extra speed boost. Or maybe you were able to make it to the bathroom just in the nick of time.

I like going fast. So, I made it so I could go fast. And now so can you.

Introducing: the People Mover.

• Moves people
  
• Goes fast

• Build the People Mover Power Hub. Then build the People Mover - Terrain cardinally adjacent to the hub or each other to make a path.
  
• The hub can be rotated. The terrain pieces can be placed in any direction and still work as long as they are in the chain. (The terrain pieces are all contained in a right-click drop-down menu to save you architect menu space.)
  
• If you walk on them in the direction they're pointing you'll get sped up, but in the opposite direction you're slowed down. (Mod option available for speeding up in either direction.)

• Everything is unlocked with the Microelectronics research and is contained in the Floors category.
  
• People Mover Power Hub: 20 steel, 2 components, 10W power
  
• People Mover - Terrain: 8 steel, +10W power for hub

• There's a mod setting option to change the speed of the movers. Concrete is 100% walk speed. The movers are by default ~150% walk speed. Going in the wrong direction is ~50% walk speed.
  
• Can change the wattage cost of the movers to between 0 and 100 in the mod settings.

• Clean Pathfinding 2 - Highly recommended. Helps see Movers during long paths. Can use mod settings in this mod to further increase regional pathing distance or even turn off regional pathing.
  
  Detail: During very long paths Vanilla pathfinding turns on "regional pathing" which blocks out pathing into 12x12 chunks. This makes it not check the individual tiles anymore and ignores the movers. With Clean Pathfinding 2 it innately doubles the distance before regional pathing is turned on. You can, in the mod settings, double this again or even turn regional pathing off entirely.

Q: Does the pathfinding prefer walking on the movers over other terrain?
A: Yes.
Q: Does it work with Owlchemist's "Clean Pathfinding" and "Clean Pathfinding 2"?
A: Yes.
Q: I had two People Mover chains with two separate hubs and their terrain merged, so I dismantled one of the hubs, but the terrain from the dismantled hub's chain didn't automatically work, even though they're cardinally adjacent.
A: This was a concession I've made thus far for performance reasons in the case that someone had lots of big chains. The solution is just to make a new terrain anywhere adjacent to the working chain and it will pick up all the stragglers.
Q: Github?
