Upgrading Roads

[Aaron]

Maybe i'm just missing something, or maybe it's not in the game period, but is there a way to upgrade existing roads without having to replace each tile and strip manually? Like just click a button and your citizens just start upgrading all your roads automatically?

not that i am aware of

+ for this we really need something like that its too annoying in the current state

All upgrading should be easier. Like houses and stuff. It works fine as it does on small towns but once you have over 1000 people it becomes a pain

I dont strip and remove old roads to replace them I just lay down the upgraded road over the top of existing roads and they come along and upgrade them. Im not sure what you are thinking but its pretty simple.

I dont always want the same roads everywhere so a one click button to upgrade roads doesnt work, as well as the fact that I dont always have enough material to do it all at once.

pave the entire map with stone (or something else) ground (not road)

That's fine if you don't want uniform roads for your settlement, but a lot of people, myself included, would prefer to use the best roads available to us everywhere. As for laying new roads over top of existing ones, I leaned about that after I made this post, but the problem still stands. At smaller sizes it isn't really a big deal to repave the roads manually, one at a time, but for larger settlements it just isn't feasible to do it that way. At that point there are too many roads to go one by one.

Also, what do you mean a one click button doesn't work? If you don't want to upgrade your roads, or only want to upgrade certain ones, than you can leave them or do them manually. If they were to implement a button to signal workers to begin upgrading all roads, that doesn't mean you'd have to use it, so for those of us who do want something like that, I wouldn't really affect you one way or the other.
