	Walk paths are drawn as a series of segments. Each end of a walk path segment is a node. Walk paths form an interconnected network of nodes that leads to every place an NPC might need to walk. They can interconnect with ladder paths, to create connections between heights. The number of nodes in the network should be minimized for efficiency.		Walk paths are drawn as a series of segments.

Nodes should be above the floor. NPCs path best when the walk paths are at their CG height. It is useful to have the node can be lower towards the floor when connecting a walk path to the top end or bottom end of a ladder path.

	NPCs move through a spacecraft to reach various destinations, such as berths, control stations, and exit doors. They use the path network to find their way. When NPCs decide to go to a destination, they find the closest node in their room. Then they find the node closest to their destination, that is in the same room as the destination. If a route can be determined, they move directly to the beginning node, follow the path, then move directly to the destination. They expect to move the entire route without obstructions due to the design. The path must lead them around obstructions or they will run into them without seeing them.
