Removing footpaths possible?

[[GT] CptSalami]

Enjoying this game so far.

Just wondering if there is any way to remove a footpath?
I know I can set zones for people not to walk in, but if it's already too late it gets kinda frustrating that I'm not able to utilise an area with an existing path.

You can build something on top of the road and they will adapt their path. Ir can help or make everything worse. Building in a pretty style is sometimes a lot 'trial and error' until you have enough experience.

Roads that are not longer used vanish over time.

If I want a road into certain direction I'm building woodcamps. Wait until the road is used enough and demolish the camp.

Thanks.

Did not know that unused paths vanish.

Would like for an option to remove them outright with a builder or something, but this is a decent workaround.

With production buildings, if you are mindful of where the entrances are when you place the building it can help with creating paths where you want them (or not having them where you don't want them). I try to point the entrances toward an existing path where possible so that villagers branch off the existing one rather than creating a brand new path from the housing area to the production building.

I'm hoping that eventually we get a tool that will allow us to erase paths, or 'nudge' them into a slightly different configuration. Or even an option to place a wider cobblestone road where we want one, which traffic would be required to follow first before pathing off. I do like the fact that the villagers create their own paths, but sometimes it's frustrating that I don't have a way to tweak it to pretty things up or make the paths more efficient for my purposes.

You may just mark path by red "Lords land" and people would make another paths. Just wait a minute or two for everybody who was using old way, change it.
If new path is more direct and short than old one they would not returne to previous even if you remove "no walking area".

It takes couple of months for path to dissapear.

Thanks! The "no walking area" is nice, didnt think of removing paths with it.
