For anyone who'd like to know:
I just noticed that Owlchemist's update of Highway Restoration (link below) was broken as it was taken down or made private. But, then I found out that there exists an updated version for RimWorld 1.0 through 1.5:

Highway Restoration 1.0-1.5
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909400491

Seeing as how there has not been a dev post on this in over a year now, I took the liberty of updating this to 1.0 myself, and it can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1709190802

Mate 1.0.

1.0 please!

Any chance for an update to 1.0?

Question: If your colony is set on the Highway map, do more Caravan come by ?

Please upgrade this mod for 1.0

@Harry_Robinson1 That link is dead, any particular reason or no because I would enjoy an update to this mod for B18

Actually, @bearhiderug, changing the header isn't enough. I've just updated it, and took a bit more than just a header change. I had to change a couple of XML files because the tags are now case sensitive, and I had to fix some formatting issues. But I've updated it now, it doesn't matter.

Beta 18 Update: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1366000127

@bearhiderug yes i can ti runs correctly with theese mods that i have http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1248713632
(in order how they are ingame)

Update pls I love this mod! Has anyone tried playing with it unupdated?

update?

Can the lampost block in the build tab be made smaller/shorter and be made into something resembling a lamp post instead of a huge phallic symbol thrusting into the screen where I have to build stuff..?

Otherise this mod is very nice. Be nice to remove-till-otherwise break up the packed dirt floor, but a quick shot of Simply Soil once it's researched fixes it up just fine. Cheers..!

Could you make it so we can remove these roads?

You should change the names of the objects, it just makes sense.
Repaved asphalt -> Asphalt
Highway barrier -> Barrier
Highway lamp post -> lamp post
Just to make it feel, well, for a lack of a word I just cant think of, normal

the description of the highway barrier says 'works as better gunfire than sandbags', shouldn't this be 'works as better cover from gunfire than sandbags'?

So, i have this problem where i can't build any of the lamposts. Like, it says that "the terrain is not suitable", but on every terrain. I can't figure this out.

hey.
your mod is giving-me some strange red errors, every time a pawn tries to build a asphalt.
its something related to 10 jobs in 10 ticks.

Alright, I'll see about adding it soon.

Oh, it does work, just only on new packed dirt

Or not, not sure what I did to get it removeable.

Possible Solution:
<layerable>true</layerable>

Issue: No way to remove packed dirt

I'll probably make it less beautiful, truthfully. I think that was mainly a testing feature.

Neat. I like using the packed dirt early on to create fire breaks since it's free and wood no longer works. Packed dirt and the repaved asphalt have no "work to make" though, they build instantly, which is weird. And asphalt is better in every way compared to concrete and paved tiles, feels like it should have a higher cost since it has the beauty and move speed boost.

@someonesneaky it's common here in the UK to purposfully design it so the lamp post bends on impact with a motor vehicle so as to avoid injuring the occupants as a solid one designed to stay firm increases the chances of serious harm to the occupants of said vehicle but then different countries differnet ways

it could be nice if you could make it that you can construct road on the world map. like connecting you base to some road close by for faster traveling

So, what is the actual point for having added the quality for highway constructs? Other than, you know, making users of your mod have ocd flare ups? I mean.. seriously?

Re: The posts having a thicker base: That's actually fairly normal on high-traffic areas. Having a thick concrete surrounding the base of the lamp protects it from collisions; without it, a vehicle is more likely to knock it over, which can cause a serious danger. Even though current rimworld transportation is stuck with muffalo and camels, having a broad, paved road with barriers indicates the predecessors likely had motor vehicles, and needed the bases to protect their lights as well.

There any way to remove the roads?

Updated to fix patches. Load times should be better now.

Ah.

Intentional, they shouldn't be so raised out of the ground. I like to think the ancient lamp posts were buried one but have since been exposed.

Your lights are missing part of the base...

I would love Trains, with train stations for hospitality Mod, and train robbers! If you can make the train stuff, i'm sure it will happen. BE THE HERO WE NEED!

@Angrysquirrel Its for A17.

What version of Rimworld is this for A16? A17? Thanks!

@shortpants94: oh god yes! Trains!

hmm i like the way this is going, maybe the Devs will see this and head you up on such a good idea, gonna sound weird, but have you thought of railroads?

i love the idea of building infrastructure on the world map! please keep going with this! :)

Thanks but i cant get rid of the steel now :DDDD

@Captain Wolf Fixed, simple one line.

yes i am @cortexvortex08

Strange. I'll fix that as soon as I can.

This mod is awesome but when you deconstruct asphalt it gives you 75 steel instead of 0-1 steel. My colony is now oversteelified :D

maybe 1- with potholes, ect , one perfect edge, one bits missing ect-

you wana make 2 variants, one with cracked edge. and one perfect edge- so cna sorta mix n match

good work tho dude, nice to know someones bothering- =)
