Settlement Survival/Roads

This construction category includes roads, bridges, and tunnels.

In general, roads offer increased movement speed to those walking on it. All roads are 1 tile in width, so try to organize your town with at least one space in between buildings for roads. Dirt roads are free to build, so having these up early can improve efficiency by a small amount.

Bridges are used to cross rivers and other bodies of water, while tunnels allow citizens to traverse mountain ranges. Neither bridges nor tunnels can turn, and must be built in a straight line.

Bridges
Bridges are the way your citizens can cross a water way, the river or even a pond. To build one you must start the bridge at least 2 tiles from the water, drag across the water, by 2 tiles again, then let go. The bridges each provide their own movement speed buff, which are stated in the in-game tooltips. The Jade Bridge is the fastest. Having the Large Bridge does NOT raise throughput and is only 75% movement speed buff.

Bridge
Building bridges allows citizens to cross the river. Area connected to the ground need to be at least 2 cells both ends.

Laid Stone Bridge
Bridges constructed with laid stone allow more citizens to cross the river. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 75%. Area connected to the ground need to be at least 2 cells both ends.

Jade Bridge
Bridges constructed with jade allow more citizens to cross the river. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 125%. Area connected to the ground need to be at least 2 cells both ends.

Large Bridge
Wider bridges allow more citizens to cross the river. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 75%. Area connected to the ground need to be at least 2 cells both ends.

Tunnel
Only one tunnel in the game at this time.

Tunnel
Building tunnels allows citizens to travel through mountains.Area connected to the ground need to be at least 2 cells both ends.

Roads
Roads provide movement speed boosts to any citizen walking on them. The Jade and Gold ones are the same, both with a 125% walking speed boost. Having wider roads does not provide any more speed boost, but can shorten the total walking distace by a tile or two. You can also make some cool designs with them! You can upgrade a road just by dragging a new road over it. The old road costs will not be refunded and will be lost Verify

Dirt Road
Increases the speed that citizens walk by 25%.

Stone Road
Roads constructed with stone. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 50%.

Brick Road
Roads constructed with bricks. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 100%.

Laid Stone Road
Roads constructed with laid stone. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 75%.

Gold Avenue
Roads constructed with gold dust. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 125%.

Jade Avenue
Roads constructed with jade. Greatly increases the speed that citizens walk by 125%.
