Roads?

[MrBishop077]

Do roads really provide bonuses to buildings or am i doing something wrong? Also, big stone path vs stone path vs stone road, gates/walls .. Other than the look are they different in effect?

im at leviathan lvl 7 ready for 8, but trying to optimize my city lay out now that ive cleared many of the resources. just wondering whats best i guess.

Green stone is free in mats to place, just costs gold. The blue stone path requires each section to be built. The green provide a small efficiency bonus, the blue provide a larger one and some rep effects if I recall.

Most def place buildings near even the small stone roads. any efficiency bonus adds up over time spent in production compared to without. So even the green paths are worth it.

Also, if you are on kun, the first leviathan, pack stuff in tight. You will be short on room.

I don't bother with roads at all. It just makes everything a pita the way it works atm. The default road is fine in the grand scheme of things. You have to build the rest that take up valuable queue slots for other things like collection completions etc. Every building generally adds stats so early game is the worst point and that goes quite fast. Starter points you can easily pad out your start with decor items to offset your stats until you get to mid game. Once you're around mid-game you can remove all or most decor if your stats are pegged. I suppose if I was playing a long save where I won't be restarting (never happens lmao) I can see the merit in roads walls all that to beautify my lil city.

Stone paths are rewarded for completion of the city patrol auto-bounties. If you are patient you can get them for free. However, in my experience, they are very hard to place.

Stone paths are supposed to connect seamlessly with each other. Unfortunately, it does not always work: Sometimes pieces refuse to connect, sometimes they connect but do not allow you to confirm placement, and sometimes they are hell-bent on connecting to any tile but the one you need.

I had this vision of a small town with beautiful cobbled streets. I am very close to abandoning it because I cannot finish paving the streets.
