Dont see the point in Paveing roads.

[Thunderbolt]

Unless a mission demands it i just use Sand and Dozer to get them "good enough".

any "Road" you can "Craft" looks like a something out of a Road maintenance workers Worse Nightmare.

Edit: And i don't know about the rest of you but if am making a paved road its going to be a properly graded "Perfect Road". Else i will just make a passable Sand road.

if that is the way you wanna play, go for it.

I mean... I've traveled to enough countries that feel exactly the same way. If your tires are big enough, and you don't care about getting stuck in the mud it doesn't matter. I've also been on a very specific road between Jiri and Kathmandu in a summer month where we had to pull a local bus with big tires through mud for 14 hours. I'm not going to say its unrealistic, I'm just going to say it's money and time worth spending if you have it to spend.

So yeah, if you want to half-ass a job go for it. There are no people, no cars, no anything that will judge you, but I will.

i hope the devs improve functionality with patches........
but man the launch build is rough.

i would be happy enough if the Roller helped flatten Sand Pre Paving instead of its current limited function.

well you do have a tool for flattening sand nicely. also, i think if you dont pave it, it wears down with the more traffic

[Thunderbolt]

yeah the Dozer does only so much. Proper grading is not possible with the current build unless you get lucky with the right sand amount.

naysaying is poor taste. just move along. the roller idea would be nice and would take devs like 5 minutes to implement and test. it's a no brainer.

did i say i was against having the roller do that?
the dozer works just fine getting sand flat. 9/10 ive done are pretty well flat, usually just making a pass each direction.

yep, i just build sand roads going everywhere....

when they release hardcore mode, they should make it that rain destroys/erodes dirt roads over time... so that you only got limited time use for dirt roads, otherwise pave them

I think those struggling to flatten sand are over pouring it. You dont need 3 heavy dumps full for a mud hole the size of 1 vehicle. People over pour then the sand stay uneven because they dont have room to properly spread it. It has a minimum height it works down to that is flat, If you have 60 tons of sand when you need 10 your going to fight getting it flat.

Maybe because pouring sand is all or nothing now. Give us a more consistent way to lay down sand over a stench of road.

I agree I also think that the crafting of roads in this game isn’t done very well, as the roads look horrible after.

AI lose traction on non paved roads. Thats the reason.

This one grinds my gears unless it actually changes later game.
It's gravel or dirt to make roads .
Sand is for making concrete , no good for roads.

Agree.
I perfectly pave a road wide enough for a double lane and when I done my final pass down the middle to complete it turned into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ single lane ,

Try to smooth an incline then get back here and tell us how easy it was to make a smooth road.

Making FLAT roads with the given tools is easy, making inclines - not so much.
