How you get to the heart of the matter with the paths and roads, because many paths lead to the destination.
In the menu on the far left, you will find Road Construction with the option to build a road or tear it down again.
After the selection in the menu, the cursor changes to a circle. With this and a click with the left mouse button, you set the starting point of a road.
Once the starting point is set, you can simply drag the future road with the mouse. Direction and length are freely selectable.
With a simple left click you set the first waypoint. From here you can plan another road section with the mouse.
On the sides of the street you will see small auxiliary fields. These show you approximately where you can later place which building, depending on its size.
When building the next section of the path, you can clearly see how the auxiliary fields overlap and what construction areas are available afterwards.
The tighter the curve, the less likely it is to be able to place one of the large buildings there.
If you have made a mistake or are planning a different route, you can delete the last waypoint with a simple right-click and the road will realign itself accordingly.
Every now and then a road simply cannot be built, too big trees, rocks, bottlenecks etc. block the construction, then it is displayed in red.
But fortunately we don't have to look for every road option ourselves, PoP's very inovative road building system also looks for free gaps itself.
Road demolition
But sometimes roads are simply out of place. Regardless of whether you get it wrong or want to rebuild, even the most beautiful path has to give way again.
If you select the "Remove road" function in the menu, the road construction cursor turns red.
To remove a road or path, simply click again on the familiar waypoints that can be seen at each end.
As with the road construction itself, you now drag the demolition cursor to the desired end.
With a double click on the last waypoint the road is history again. Even complex roads can be removed in one go.
However, you can also go directly from the first waypoint to the last one and don't have to follow the path to clear the complete road. The Pioneers of Pagonia road system normally finds the complete path itself.
