ok then, thanks

@BLAZE_WRAITH Its the same, just includes rails

i doubt this is compatible with roads of the rim

@EinsteinYH Rail tunnels and glitterroads can be built through and over impassable terrain. I don't believe I coded asphalt to be build-able through impassable terrain.

Once you have one of those two types of "roads" built, then vehicles (from any mod or just your vanilla caravan) can traverse that section of impassable terrain.

Nice mod, just a question, are road vehicles intended to be unable to traverse impassable tiles with asphalt or glitter roads? Is it a known issue or something that only happens to me? Thank you.

@Cletus Sounds like you havent researched the other types

wont let me build anything but dirt roads and paths

Hell yeah !!

@eaglegundam It should already be compatible with vehicle framework. 1.4 version was and I believe both the author of VF and Mlie have made 1.5 compatible. If not, you should let Mlie know on the github repo or through discord.

@bedab96 I don't remember the minimum construction skill needed. 5? It's not super high and you only need one colonist that has the minimum construction skill needed. Adding more colonists at that point helps speed up the construction. If it is really frustrating and you still have issues, let me know. I can check the xml files to see what is written.

What are the building skill requirements for each type of road? I think thats why its not letting me build an asphalt road

damn cant wait for compat with vehicle framework

Or leave a PR on the github repo to enable it in this mod

@Creedmoor I never added that feature, but if anyone ever wants to make a mod of this mod to allow mechs to help build roads, you're welcome to. The alternative is to enable the ISR2G.

are mechanoids able to help build roads?

Caravan can't go glitteroads into an impassable mountain, although it can build it with a passable to impassable map cell, 20 high tech components into the trash, for people like me who like to cram into an impassable area in the middle of mountains this mod just doesn't make sense.
Instead of this mod, it's better to use any mod on Air Transport

@Alpharius Unfortunately there's no other train engine mods that I'm aware of. Someone would have to make one.

Hello MOD CREATOR..
Seeing as how SRTS Trains is down for the moment, do you have any other train based mods?


I also really fucking hate their steam engine design.

@Portesel You should probably report that to the author of the vehicles mod

Ground vehicles can't use glitteroads over water, hours wasted for nothing

@Portesel Never used vehicles so not sure what their boat limitations could be

The problem occur when I'm using a map vehicle (boat), but I can build fine during the night when I use a "regular" vehicle.

@Portesel As long as your whole caravan does not need sleep it seems to work

Is there a reason for a pawn that doesn't neep sleep, to get a message and stop working during the night ? (It's a vehicle caravan)

This is the mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2873841790

I assume that since this patches RotR specifically it doesn't work with Rails? unless they're identified the same way?

@Vampiresbane there's one mod that adds the builder outpost which is supposed to help build RotR roads and more
@Mlie guess I'll do some file digging

@ZCW I'm not sure if Outposts Expanded interacts with Roads of the Rim. RotR isn't a required mod and none the outposts have a road type dependency from what I have read. Which is all good news...it should be Outposts Expanded will work with either RotR or RRotR.

@ZCW Maybe, all depends on how the patches are applied

So it "should" be compatible with any mods that interact with Roads of the Rim right? like Outposts expanded's builder outpost?

@ZCW They use the same base code so cannot be used together

Or is this AIO?

Does this conflict with the other Roads of the Rim or do they work together?

@restless, Asphalt roads, glitter roads and rail tunnels can be built through impassable terrain

can this also go over impassable terrain?

@インフィニティ・デス's It does not require the train mod, but they do pair well together.

@インフィニティ・デス's Again, any requirement are listed under the Required Items section on the right side of the mod-page

Does it require the train mod that you have listed?

@インフィニティ・デス's Any mod-requirements are listed on the right side of all mod-pages

what does this mod require?

@Sir Cumcise See Afanasiya's post below. You can, but you need to alter the xml files.

is it possible to build them on sea ice/ice sheet?

@Vampiresbane Alright, thank you for asnwer, but the thing is that my caravan just stays on place and do nothing when it's trying to build it through mountains, even with ISR2G and components, maybe i don't have enough in caravan's inventory, i'll try later

@Кашляющий Лич Glitter roads and rail tunnel can both be built through the impassable mountains.

Does mod allows to build glitter roads through impassable mountains?

@Afanasiya Great find! I was the author of the RRotR that took over from RotR before I asked Mlie to take it over. I never even thought of checking the xml files to allow roads on Ice Sheets! Which is crazy because that's how I added rails... just a bunch of xml files. It'd be a simple change in the file and then Mlie could just make the mod have it by default; it was a frequently asked request but I could never figure out how to do it. For what's it worth, I don't mind if the mod was changed in that way. I can do it for the original RRotR but then it would only affect Rimworld 1.3 and 1.4 versions.

@Mlie I assume things have changed since you or Loconeko last looked, but it's actually incredibly easy to build roads on ice sheets and sea ice. To be perfectly honest, you can even do the same on normal sea tiles, but I'm not sure how it'd work to try and traverse them.

All I had to do to allow this mod, Vanilla Expanded road building, or RotR (no rails) to build roads, with no modification to the mod itself, is to change the file defining ice sheets in the base game files.

At \steamapps\common\RimWorld\Data\Core\Defs\BiomeDefs you have the file "Biomes_Cold.xml". Under Ice Sheet, at line 477 for me, change '<allowRoads>false</allowRoads>' to '<allowRoads>true</allowRoads>'. Even roads preexisting this change, such as those made with Vanilla Expanded and those actually generated during world gen will appear immediately in game after making this change. Perhaps you could even make it a config option to whether or not people want ice sheet roads.

@dvpierce, try the mod "Almost there" it has a toggle to stop the caravan from resting at all if you want and i've used that before when I had superhuman human colonists who didn't really need rest.

@Indigo Rose Try it without the ISR2G and see if the problem persists. The ISR2G's had issues even in the original Roads of the Rim mod. If you can build roads without the ISR2G, make sure to post a bug in Mlie's discord according to his description on this mod page.

I don't know if this is a known problem or not, but I've tried about a dozen times to send out my construction caravan, but they just go to sleep all day. They never wake up and work. I have them carrying the ISR2G (well, the advanced version) but still no work gets done. What have I done wrong?

Thank you.
