Introduction

Road construction is vital for increasing land-transport efficiency and consists of three basic steps:

• 1: Tamping the native soil with a Mattock.
• 2: Laying down Crushed Base Course.
• 3: Laying the surface Paving Material.
  Different varieties of road use different ingredients.

A mattock can be used on dirt-type blocks similarly to a Chisel. When used in the default block mode, a mattock will tamp these blocks down with 右键. If the mattock was used to tamp mud or muddy roots, the resulting tamped mud must be remediated by applying crushed base course.

After the local soil has been tamped down, the next step is to lay a base course for the road. Crushed base course can be crafted with either gravel or stone dust mixed with loose rocks, and can be applied to tamped blocks via 右键. This base course of crushed rocks creates a sturdy base for the final walking surface to rest upon.

The final step in creating a road is laying the road surface. Different items, including Bricks, Hoggin, and Loose Rocks can be applied via 右键 on top of a base course to form a walkable road. Different items result in different varieties of road, and different varieties of road allow for various boosts to walking speeds.

Hoggin is a compactible groundcover made from a mixture of clay, gravel, and sand. It can be applied on a base course to produce a simple path that offers a modest 10% Boost to walking speed and allows Animal Cranks to run at 16RPM.

A small amount of Gravel Fill can be applied to a base course to produce a simple path that offers a modest 10% Boost to walking speed. Additional gravel fill can be added and tamped to create a Macadam Road that gives a 20% Speed Boost.
All paving materials above hoggin will allow Animal Cranks to run at 32RPM.

A variety of different stone walking surfaces can be applied over a base course, and all provide a 20% Speed Bonus.

• Cobbled Roads are created by adding Loose Rocks over the base course.
• Sett Roads can be constructed from stone or ceramic Bricks.
• Flagstone Roads can be constructed from stone or sandstone Flagstones.

Concrete roads offer a 30% Movement Speed Bonus when properly constructed. However, road builders must be diligent when constructing concrete roads to prevent them from cracking or being trodden on while wet, as this will remove the speed bonus.

Concrete Road

Concrete Roads are poured from Wet Concrete Mix. First, Combine water with stone dusts and a binder such as gypsum or clay to produce Liquid Concrete. Then, dilute the liquid concrete with water to produce Wet Concrete Mix. Ready for pouring.

一旦获得湿混凝土，即可用桶舀取并倾倒在基层方块上，它会自动向相邻方块蔓延。混凝土需一天时间硬化，在此期间需防止生物踩踏未凝固的混凝土，否则会形成不平整表面导致速度加成失效。可用鹤嘴锄抹平脚印痕迹。

Pouring Concrete

Shrinkage cracking is also a concern as concrete sets. If concrete is poured in areas more than 4x4 blocks wide, blocks that are farther than two blocks from the nearest Edge, Control Joint, or Textured Finish will crack when set. This can be prevented by pouring concrete in smaller areas, using a Mattock to add Control Joints, or by applying a Textured Finish.

控制缝

Textured Finishes are created by pressing Bricks, Flagstones, or Smooth Stone Blocks into drying concrete to create an architectural finish. These blocks also act as Control Joints for preventing cracking. Once concrete has finished drying, a Chisel can be used to form slabs and stairs.

Asphalt

Asphalt roads are an advanced road type relying on oil and TFG production lines.
After preparing the base course, you can pour Asphalt Mixture over it. It will briefly become Hot Asphalt before solidifying into a durable Asphalt Road.
A properly built asphalt road gives a 40% Movement Speed Bonus.

Asphalt Road

与混凝土路不同，沥青路不需要控制缝，也不会因湿料开裂或踩踏未干路面而失效。

施工时要当心被热沥青路烫伤，以及拆除时只能得到沥青碎块而非整块路面。

沥青路的原料是石油。将石油、原油、重油等流体在流体固化器中固化成对应的焦油，再用提取机加工成焦油块料。

在搅拌机中用焦油块料与石粉制成沥青结合料。若加入硬沥青粉，可提高结合料的产量。
随后，把结合料与沙、石粉及碎石基层一同拌成流体状的沥青混合料。
将其装入流体容器中，便于运输和浇筑。

浇筑沥青路

右键 a placed Base Course Block with a bucket of Asphalt Mixture to pour it. The mixture spreads to adjacent base course blocks, converting up to 20 adjacent base course blocks into Hot Asphalt. After a short time, hot asphalt cools into Asphalt Road. Shift-右键 on a Base Course Block with the mixture to patch a small area, consuming less fluid.

Hot Asphalt is very hot; touching it will cause ongoing burn damage. Wear heat-protective gear when working with it.

Once it cools into an Asphalt Road, the surface is no longer hot.

沥青路可以用鹤嘴锄加工成沥青路台阶与沥青路楼梯。也可以使用切石机进行加工。

The most distinctive customization feature of asphalt roads is road marking: Spray colors and patterns on the finished surface to plan lanes, intersections, and warning lines.

Various stencils can be crafted at an Artisan Table.

Hold a Spray Can in one hand and optionally a Road Marking Stencil in the other, then 右键 on an asphalt road to paint it. The color is determined by the spray can, and the orientation by the player's direction.
Spraying again on an existing marking will replace it and consume spray can durability, unless the same exact layout is used.

若需重新规划路面，对沥青路或沥青路台阶使用喷漆罐（溶剂），即可将该处路面标识清除。

破坏沥青路、热沥青路、台阶或楼梯时，只会掉落沥青碎块，无法保留完整路面方块。将碎块投入提取机可回收为少量沥青混合料。

The Paving Cart is a specialized cart used for laying down road surfaces quickly and efficiently. It can be filled with Road Materials and Crushed Base Course and then attached to a Horse with 将动物栓上车 to create roads as you travel. The cart can also fill in any existing base course blocks.
