How I road?

Postby Undefined » Tue Sep 15, 2015 7:47 pm

So, I only just got round to playing with roads, they're pretty sweet, but also pretty confusing. I would be grateful if anyone who's played with them a bit can shed some light.

Placing an extension I notice an arrow showing me where the road will path, can I move that?
Is there a limit to the distance I can build a road?
Can I create more than one route from a single signpost?
Can a second route piggyback onto the first route and then split off?
I notice I'm getting "Waylaid" when I reach the end of the route, am I supposed to end it with a signpost or something rather than just extending to the end?
I'm guessing travel weariness isn't a thing but will be later.

I feel so dumb for not exploring roads earlier, crawling a boat to the various lakes around me just got far less "sod that, effort"y, even a route 2-3 screens is a massive quality improvement.

Yes, hold shift and use the mousewheel.

Yes, the roadsign you're extending off of has to be in the red ring of the new sign.
Can I create more than one route from a single signpost?

Nope.
Can a second route piggyback onto the first route and then split off?

Nope
I notice I'm getting "Waylaid" when I reach the end of the route, am I supposed to end it with a signpost or something rather than just extending to the end?

All 'Waylaid' does is let you teleport off of any roadsign along the path. It's a strictly beneficial status effect.

Dunno, hopefully not.

Awesome, thanks, shame we can't piggyback though I guess signposts can be spaced along a road either side to make it look a little less chaotic.

Yeah, I really wish we could have multiple extensions but my guess is that the code doesn't allow for it when teleporting.
