Can't build roads

[Legionnaire0311]

I've built the way makers shack, assigned a worker, found the tab on the right side of the screen for the road building, and then laid out some road (cobble I think). It never actually gets built though. The outline I put down is there, but no roads ever get built. The dismantle road button doesn't work either, so I can't get rid of the outlines. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Three things are necessary for roads to be built. First you need the available resources, depending on the type of road, rock, log, board, cut stone. Second you need to have workers assigned to your Way Makers Shack, they are the only villagers that can build roads. And last, but not least, the road tiles must be within 'Range' of your village. You can only place road tiles in range, but tree growth, wall placement or structure removal (destruction) can limit your village range.

Thanks for your response, but I did all that already. A villager is assigned to the correct building, I've laid down the plans for the road, but nothing builds (a whole day has passed) and I also can't remove the outline/plan of the road. Everything is within my build range, nothing overlaps in a weird way, nothing is obstructing, etc etc. I know that it's weird and hard to diagnose.

Forgive me, for I am a great fool. I finally figured it out. The whole process was just occurring very slowly. They weren't building quickly, and I couldn't dismantle until they were built (even though I should be able to delete the plan, but that's fine). I couldn't figure out why yellow Xs were showing up on some tiles and not others.

Thanks for the help though.

You can cancel a build road request by selecting the same type of road and holding down Q while clicking.
