Waylaid road improvement

If you get waylaid, objects of that trail should be highlighted, so you could easily select the right one to continue your journey.

Idk, maybe. Seems a bit marginal, and arguably it should highlight the blocking objects as well.

It might seem like that, but it is a real problem that many people often face!
Huge quality of life improvement if they would highlight, and it does not sound impossible to implement either.

Would be no issue in case trails would be unidirectional. The confusion with the current system is that you have two identical options (the fact that these go in different directions doesn't help unless the road never ever changes direction to avoid obstacles).

Back when I was playing, I had a whole secret wiki article on how to build roads for my guys. Lazy arses still couldn't build them even 4 months later. Just imagine what happens to a newbie, when their roads do not work and they do not even know why.

The issue is also that as the world becomes older, there are some areas filled with trails. You dont even know which one is the one that you used for travel.

...or build your base on top of someone's road network and get your camp stomped to dirt.
