Escalator Pack

Escalators!
They're not just fast stairs that break!

Faster than stairs, cheaper and more reliable than elevators, and more attractive than either!
Now with 8 visual variations!

This adds a two floor escalator with the following stats:
- Move twice as fast as stairs (about half as elevator).
- Break down 1/10 as much as elevators.
- Cost 1/2 maint as elevators (2.5 as much as stairs).
- Has 1/2 elevator heatmap.
- Gives slight aesthetics boost (half as small painting).
- Includes a mall directory (bottom floor only).


Balance:
Tile is 4x2.
These take up more space than stairs overall, especially when travering many floors.


Todo:
Doing 1/5 annoyance compared with stairs doesn't quite work right.
Get the foot traffic boost to work right.
Include phonebooths on it?
Include vending machines on it?


Can't do:
- Make mall directory work on both floors.
The game only checks the bottom floor of tiles for 'tags' of what it provides.


Won't do:
- Make this 4x1 (or 5x1, 6x1, etc).
Making it two stories is what prevents this from being a cheat mod, and makes it more than just 'fast stairs that break'.
