For the roads

Postby rjlan82 » 10 May 2014, 05:58

It's spring, time to fix up the roads after a long crappy winter...

So I'd like to fix up some of the roadways, and maybe add roads where none currently exist - such as between towns. I would like to get permission first of course, and any feedback.

Reasons/ideas:
1) I find myself often needing to drag animals between communities. Roads are great for that
2) Where roads do exist, some are incomplete or animal-dragging-unfriendly
3) Some are just ugly/crappy
4) Some extra lighting around the roadway, such as in roofed forest biomes, might be a good idea
5) On roads where there are steep drop-offs I'd like to add fencing. This especially applies where there are bridges with no fencing at all.
6) Survival shacks along the way. I'm not good at making pretty things, but I excel at derpy survival shacks.

It would be cool to see major highways (or at least DOT standard roads) directly between the four corner spawn towns, like a ring road around the map. I know others have suggested similar.

I think there should be a point 7: Where roads go over water, be considerate of boats (they do exist and they are used!) by keeping at least 3 blocks of air between water and road.

Nice, we really need to finish up the road that goes down to sci-fy city. Also rjlan, I've made some shacks on long distance road, if you like me to make them, I'll be happy to help.

I connected my and thinkulum's house to a road, and made an impromptu bridge so I could easily access Chadville by horse. I never finished that road, because the people from Chadville didn't know exactly how everything was going to be planned out at that time. If I may suggest how to connect the road I built, I would say something like this:
