Roadmaker tool

[SL@Ps]

Apologies for probably a very newb question but would someone please explain how to use the roadmaker tool? Thank you in advance.

Its kind of dumb. you must use the hoe to clear the area and then use the road tool to make the road.

The road tool should just clear/level things itself.

What ^ he said but you can also see on the map terrain you have flattened (its darker) and terrain that is a 'road' (its cobbled).

The terrain is a grid and after a while you can see where the lines are and hit the squares you need very efficiently.

hey don't be rude. They can work on it if we have constructive comments.

I think the road maker could be a nice deco tool in future. Maybe give users option for stone, dirt or cobble stone road. Trying to make lemon aid lol

Nothing? Doubt, roads are very cool and buff from them are strong. Yes, its not that easy to make roads right now, but they are definitely not useless.

At the workshop - either regular or with metal worker for the iron version.

so it actually works ok if you have one person using the hoe to make a path and another behind with the roadmaker. Goes fairly quick. Not ideal but it works and the reduced stamina is pretty amazing. If you solo it sucks. They should just let us use the roadmaker alone to do this.

this thread started back before more recent updates that include the Road Planning terrain build option that uses the roadmaker tool and stones. Those stone roads are faster and less stamina use as well. Builders will work on them if they have stone and the tool.
