Couple of questions: 1) Is it worthwhile to remove a paved road to replace it with a shorter, straighter road? Eventually it would be paved too but is the half traffic for quite a time worthwhile? Only if the shorter road is half as long? 2) If a road has items on it or being carried along it when you remove it, are the carried or lieing items lost? -- |

yes, absolutely. Especially when the road is in an important part of the network. A 3-step road may become a huge bottleneck in the whole transportation system in a large game. As for the disruption, it only lasts a few minutes, and all the goods are going to be delivered anyway
the carrier, still carrying the item, goes back to a near flag, then to a warehouse. It brings the ware. So, none of them are lost. If you remove a flag, on the other hand, then the wares on the flag are lost. Top Quote |

Wow, I expected the reverse. Suits me though, as I like to straighten roads, just was afraid to do it with those. I've figured out a good way to do it too, make a 2nd straighter road first then remove the crooked road.
Thanks, that is what I suspected (pretty sure I saw guys off road carrying stuff but the graphics are pretty small on my laptop and my eyes are old now...) -- |
