Where are the clay roads?

[Xsision]

will we ever be able to build clay paved roads?? that road is somewhere lost last year after a patch or something but it seems no one did notice? so do you go to re-implement that back? at least tool tipps at loading screen remembers the clay road but you cant build it^^ saw them again on an old picture from lif trailer and remebered them...

For the few road projects I have done I had always gone with stone. It was my belief that other players would choose the same because of the better speed buff, the availability of stone, and clay might be used for other projects like walls.

well me too to a certain point of the game but its part of the game^^ so i think they should fix that and make the clay road available again as before... but its more for the landscape design^^

If you put clay down on the ground it will give you a 10% movement bonus.

i don't know the buff but i was thinking you just pour clay on the ground, you dont actually have an action to pave it with clay. but im probably wrong here.

there was no option at all but have clay instead of rocks in your inventory and then use "pave road" it uses the clay to pave a clay road but somehow that option is lost for 1-1.1/2 years.. you can see those paved roads in lif trailer and the pics. it looks much more different from just pouring clay on the ground^^... it was something with a bug of black roads in the past years.. after they patched it i couldnt pave clay roads anymore. i used them for more open landscape and farmlands... rock roads i used for city mostly.

Yup. Years ago they had it. For the game that wasn't released even 12 months ago as early access.


I don't remember even in the beginning having clay roads. I know that there are some in the trailer which is actually showing the MMO world (have been in it) but as far as i know it wasn't in YO. Considering i was playing from before day 1, i think there never was clay roads as an actual pave. Pouring on the ground however may have been.

mmhh i remember that i build them because all my mates where angry why i didnt build rocky roads cause of the speed buff XD so i was forced to never build them again lol^^

I never remember being able to pave with clay.. just drop it and bam! road..

There were actually no clay paved roads. What you've seen were roads made by pouring clay on the ground. As for the game message on loading screen, it is our fault that we gave you misleading info about pavement and we have already made changes in that text. So actually, thanks for pointing that out Xsision. :)

[Xsision]

ah okey thx for that ^^ but will it be possible to pave different types of roads in the future? maybe then soil/clay roads/paths or even different stone types using slate, marble and granit etc.. maybe even gold paved roads XD

Most likely not.

Nearly a year later and I'm still seeing that text in the loading screen. Future update hint?

Nero post but walking over clay gives 10% speed

Clay is too valuable a building resource to be used on roads. Necro thread so closing now.
