You can kill them around 80 str

(pickaxe counts as extra 20 str so 60 is enough)

For developers... (MileStone)

Post by eL_Diablo »

Idea to create a MileStone was good. It is very convenient to pass automatically the big distances using MileStone. But why it is impossible to build MileStone (or similar) in caves? In caves it is often necessary to go very big distances and if it will be possible to do it automatically it will be very conveniently.

What do you think of it?

A lot of things unfair to caves and mines... and cellars... and second floors!
I hate to be forced to build cupboards on first floor of the building and then lift it and move all the way to place where i want it to be located (mine, cellar or second floor of the mansion).

Same with milestones. They should be flagged to be build inside caves and mines imo.

Since a character beelines towards a marker, they have to be placed in ways that aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing.

Moreover, since you collide with them, you can't use roads for cart pulling, which is pretty much why we have them.

So what I'd suggest is either/both making them have no bounding box and allowing the one-time option to "Set Destination (Path)" that would work like "Extend", except it would just mark the position within a close range you would walk to (maybe within 5 tiles) instead of walking directly to the marker.

And also you can't make bridges so you can't use them for the really big treks, but I'm guessing bridges are complicated enough to be way on the back-burner.

Only 20? I thought a pickaxe halved the needed strength.

So do carts still collide? I built a 2x stone road for my cart pulling and have road building but I'm not going to use it if it won't work (which is sad).

Sorry to bump but I still want to know the answer to this - I built a road that is almost an SG wide and as useful as it is for running carts manually I'd love to know if I could actually use the skill I bought?

I think you have to make the milestones go in zigzag on the sides of the road _-_-_-_-_-.
Something like that

First, you're crazy and I salute you for your work. Second, yes carts, wagons, and people still collide with objects and stop. Pathing is terrible.
