Proper roads

[ven]

Building a road should automatically pave the ground from one signpost to another in a 3 tile wide range, meaning stomped ground for wooden posts and gneiss for milestones. Building costs or building time should probably scale accordingly too.

if the material cost and difficulty is going to increase anyway, why not keep them as separate actions?

That would be cool, I'm for it. Would it be possible to make shallow water through rivers like this? Like a form of teraforming.

1 - no one would do it as they already don't now, and paved roads in the wilderness are useful for several reasons
2 - increasing doesn't mean equivalent cost. It could be just a longer building time to discourage people from using this to pave large areas too easily.

Surely would be cool something like that ... but it's not doable I think, can you imagine what a mess the world would be just after a couple of weeks?
I think something that limit the spam would be necessary, along with some decay also ...

clearly you dont travel some of the roads i do, because i see a lot of paved ground along roads.

How do you see if the road is paved or not, when traveling? Last time I checked one teleports over the whole thing.

Skeptical about that. Suddenly I find people building roads only to pave.
