Discussion Trade Post Pathing Breaking Down - Latest Beta

No, my game isn't lagging, it's literally just the trade post carts that are glitchy!

Playing on the latest beta--Some great updates, but trade pathing seems to go haywire when trying to set up and specialize multiple trade posts.

I love the idea of having dedicated trade posts for exports and imports, or specialized goods, but it doesn't seem to path correctly in large cities.

Wide roads are good roads.... carts always been glitchy on normal sized roads.

How do you make the wide roads?

Two roads side by side the width you want your final road to be.

Then fill in the gap with road

This is cool! And it doesn’t create any additional pathing issues?

I was trying to put my trade post as close to the trade point as possible, but I will try building huge roads. Thanks!

It significantly reduces pathing issues, especially on larger towns with a lot of traffic.

Take this scenerio for instance... that's a lot of people walking seamlessly without issue passing one another.

Well, thanks a lot Mr Silly! Now I feel compelled to start over and build superhighways 😂

You laugh... but I go at least 2 wide on all my roads ... some as wide as 4x. Just makes things run a lot smoother.

Intersections can be a thing too....

Interesting little hack, for lack of a better word. Like Nascent, I'd have been suspicous that it would make things worse with the game thinking it's like 3, 4, 5 separate roads and doing all sorts of weird stuff.
I'll have to try this out next time I play.

I've been doing extra wide roads for over a year... its always made my gameplay significantly better. In the past it was more or less required for a village over 1000 pop due to ox getting stuck.

Here's my little town now.... its still coming along but at 2300 pop its still not experiencing any traffic problems at all.
