How to make roads

[Sanger Zonvolt]

How do you tell your waymaker to make roads? I have one but all he odes is repairing a few roads that were already there from an abandoned village. He never creates any new. Can I manually place roads or do they created automatically. If it´s the later, what triggers it?

Yes you can. Look at bottom right corner of interface. Ones you build way maker post, it'll be active. (as well as make a pit and dismantle roads)

Make or upgrade roads, it says.

Oh, ok. Was looking for roads in the building menu. That´s why I didnt find them.

Is it possible to build better roads without upgrading several times?

As far as I know — No.
And I doubt that this will be added — the complexity of coding, the most likely answer. (My point of view the same this time)

Ray has a road overhaul planned, actually. The current system has been bugging him as well for a good while.

Ok, why not? If Ray wants to rewrite part of the code, I'm clearly not the person who wants to stop him.

Opportunity to choose the right type of road immediately suits me perfectly. And if it is really so from myself I can offer a few more power levels of the road: made with iron ingots (better than cutstone&board), made with gold ingots, made with refined and polished crystals.

Thats very good to hear, that the road system gets an improvement.

Id totally be fine with something like this:
-2 types of road (wood and stone, why do we need 4 types?)
-you can build the highest upgrade road from the beginning on
-you can draw roads like 1 px lines (without antialising^^) in paint
