as hilarious as it is, it's a bit stupid, I've seen them actually climb up onto the barrier between the travelators and move to the other side.

Can you provide a save where we can easily test the issue, please?

[Nimrod989]

Unfortunately it's intermittent, I should have uploaded the save when I reported it but felt that I'd 'missed' it as the NPC had left the conveyor. When I see it next I'll link a save.

It used to happen more generally in stations on earlier versions of the game too - part of X4's innate charm I feel.

Maybe it's just a good quad workout for people at the station, NPCs must have strong ones as the player can't run up the wrong conveyor like that.

I think this is a graphical issue with the animated texture going in the wrong direction. I started a game in Black Hole Sun IV and the sidewalks in the Argon Equipment Dock were moving in the opposite direction of the actual travel. I stepped on the one where the animation was moving away from me (eg: forward) and it actually moved me backward.

Most likely the logic behind the AI knows which side is the correct direction the NPC needs to go, but visually the sidewalk is moving the other direction.

I think this is a graphical issue with the animated texture going in the wrong direction.

I don't think that's the case.
I've just seen an NPC use the good side, and then go through the barrier and use the bad side.
At the same time, another NPC uses the wrong side, but in the opposite direction.

@Devs : it's very common since the first release. You can easily see this on very populated stations.

The screenshot and a save is here. Load the save with pause and you'll see the screenshot.

Edit:
My save is on a station in Hatikvah's Choice III.

Save with an NPC directly in front of you going the wrong way down a travellator

Got one! Again they start on the correct side but then cross the barrier to the other, they seem to be heading diagonally which is causing this.
