Suggestion for Road Building and Fortifications

Feature Overview

Road Building: Introduce a mechanic that allows players to build roads for better transportation.
Construction Tools: Use a shovel for creating roads and a hammer for building solid fortifications.

Gameplay Benefits

• Enhanced Mobility: Players can create shortcuts and improve access to strategic locations.
  
• Strategic Depth: Fortifications could be built to provide cover and defense points, enriching tactical gameplay.

Implementation Details

Road Building Mechanics:

- Players can use a shovel to level the ground and lay down materials for roads.
- Roads can have different types based on terrain (e.g., dirt, gravel, asphalt).

Fortification Construction:

- Introduce a hammer as a tool to build walls, bunkers, and other defensive structures.
- Allow for various materials (wood, metal, sandbags) to be used for customization.

Additional Features

• Resource Management: Players need to gather materials for road and fortification building.
  
• Collaboration: Encourage teamwork as players can work together to build and fortify areas.

The game doesn't have full object destruction yet. That means the roads would have to be placed directly on whichever rugged terrain they are on, including rocks and tree stumps, anything that is not yet destructible. Could be cool if we could demolish anything to make a new road. Might be a long time until they implement that.

Solid fortifications though could be cool (bunkers and such). They should cost a lot of supplies and take a long time to build.

1.3 is gonna have tree destruction so we could technically clear paths through a forest and use small fortifications as paths to guide drivers.
