Cant travel if you hold something in hands, log or chest for example. Will you add this feature? It was comfy to travel via crossroads with a boat in hands, and it would be great to have this opportunity bcause its a big problem with carts right now.

Seems a bit rough (Why do milestones block carts? That just seems...annoying) but overall Im applauding. Especially for the later developments that Jorb was pondering earlier in the thread. Much, much better than teleporting around, I think.

Maybe we could turn on a "march mode" that gives TW while increasing speed 25-50%? No special view, just really zipping along these roads.

This also might make trailside inns possible, if people felt they could put up alcohol for sale in stalls in this far future HnH world.

So that actual use of these milestones is that your character automaticly walks to the place you set up the road? Like an auto-mover or something, besides does this makes you faster when you carry stuff?

Awesome. But even better would be navigational buoys, for easy river navigation.

What we need now is a way to set your destination of some sorts so you could get crossroads and the like.

This can already be done, just make two trails on the same set of milestones, one branching east, and the other west in the crossroad.

Two small points (and I have not really tested this thoroughly):
1. the terminal milestone in a trail can not be used as a starting point to walk the trail. (Maybe if you build a new "initial obelisk" at the terminus?)
2. It would be nice to have the option to remove obsolete trails, test trails, or grief trails that someone spammed your network with.
(I am assuming that established trail routes are visible to all, and not "private")
Maybe make it so that only the founder of a trail can delete it, while others only can "mute" trails they are not interested in?

Oh joy

Any chance to make this "go from A to B" transformed in "Pave from A to B"?

Wait, milestones have bounding boxes? I pictured them as being short rocks you can walk over, not white pillars...
