Road

This section is in need of revision. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. The reason given is: There have been some changes to how roads are placed, such as width. Also need to make a page for "Graded Area" and such.

Construction window's roads category.

Roads are required to place buildings within cities. The type of road makes no difference to the city once constructed, and buildings even function fine if the roads are removed afterwards.

After placing a road, the next road is started from the end of the previous road. This can be canceled by pressing the space key or re-selecting the road type in the construction window.

Roads in general require little labor to build, but slabs take additional labor to level the ground. Roads can be placed next to unfinished roads.

Dirt roads require no materials and no tools. They only require labor to build. Therefore, these are usually the first roads used in a new city.

Concrete roads are a common road type, mostly second only to dirt roads because of their stone construction cost.

Asphalt roads are exactly like concrete roads, except they are darker in color and require oil to build instead of stone. They however cannot be built in the super hot environments found on planets in the inferno orbit zone.

Pressurized Road

An important note! Pressurized roads are not yet implemented for new-style cities.

Pressurized roads are most commonly used only in harsh environments, such as on moons and other uninhabitable worlds. The pressurized enclosure protects against harsh environments, allowing people to move around without environment suits. Pressurized roads are not required in anyway, they are mostly used for convince or aesthetic purposes.
