Roads of the Rim

RotR - A Rimworld mod allowing road construction on the world map

Introduction

I decided to reimplement Jecrell's amazing RimRoads mod since it had not been ported to Rimworld 1.0.

Features
  • Create Road Construction Sites on the world map
  • Send Caravans with skilled colonists, pack animals, and resources to build the road
  • Enjoy faster movement than the base game on high tier roads, including for all already existing roads (can be switched off in the settings)
  • Part or all of the biome, hills, swamps and season movement difficulty is also cancelled
  • Higher tier roads can be built through impassable terrain
  • Get your allies to help you build

Details

Construct
With RotR, caravans can create a construction site on the world map, players can then select a type of road, click from neighbouring tile to neighbouring tile until they reach their desired goal. If you make a mistake, clicking on a planned section of road will remove it and all sections after it. Clicking on the Construction Site or right-clicking anywhere will finalise the construction.

Work
By using resources and colonists with Construction skill, the current section (or leg) can be built. A progress bar is shown on the world map. Once a leg is finished, the caravan automatically moves on to the next leg. Note : Road legs must be built in the order they were placed on the world map.

Having all colonists down, resting during night time, or a moving caravan will prevent work. Similarly, some roads require a certain percentage of the workforce to have a certain construction skill. If only a lower percentage is available, work will be reduced. If no colonist in the caravan has the required skill, work will be impossible. Prisoners don't work.

Cancel construction
A site can be removed by selecting it and clicking on the "Cancel Construction" button. A Caravan does not need to be there to do so. All resources spent so far will be lost.

Building costs modifiers
Construction costs have two components : base costs that depend on the road and modifiers that depend on the terrain. Roads cost more at higher elevation, starting from 1000m. Hills and swamps also have an effect, which can be checked when clicking on a site. When ISR2G is not used, the total cost can be further reduced from 100% down to 10% in the settings. Anything lower than 100% is probably quite unrealistic, but feel free to use the option.

Important note
It is not necessary to bring all resources at once in one caravan. A fraction is enough for a certain amount of work. However, it is necessary to bring each material with you.
As an example a tenth of the asphalt road: 360 Stone, 60 Steel, 30 Chemfuel is enough material for a tenth of the work (180 work.)

Upgrade
When building a road over an existing one that is slower, 30% of the cost of the existing road will be deducted from the cost of the new road, as long as both roads use that same resource (e.g. A dirt road will provide 120 work and 36 wood when upgrading to a Stone road)

Allies help
Allied factions can help building roads

Impact on movement
The roads of RotR do not only provide a customised movement cost multiplier compared to the base game, they also cancel some or all of the movement cost of the terrain.

See the summary below to see what percentage of a specific terrain feature is cancelled, depending on the road type. Note that these effects apply both to generated roads (from the base game) and built roads from RotR.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot but is there a way to simply deconstruct pre-existing roads? I mainly just want to remove some excess dirt roads that naturally generated, or remove some road I already built but realized there was a quicker path.

@sand Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

@Nova As far as I'm aware, this mod has no means of deleting an existing road.
Nova Oct 24 @ 5:06am 
I really hope this mod can help me to delete the road which already exists.:steamsad: Can building an empty road work?

@dkamaoflage im p sure asphalt highways and asphalt roads BOTH have the same 0.4 movement difficulty
Mlie  [author] Oct 22 @ 11:53pm 
@dkamouflage I have no plans on expanding the mod
dkamouflage Oct 22 @ 11:49pm 
Is there any plan to add asphalt highways to this? It'd be nice to have something in between asphalt roads and glitter roads.
