Was planned, but heavily overlaps with Jecrell's RimRoads. I'm not as hyped about it anymore, but it's definitely on my wishlist.

How much would you pay for a road?

no idea mabey 1k silver

I would want it to be a function of distance. Building a road is heavy on resources and manpower.

Different factions, with different tech levels, would be capable of producing different qualities of road. Which, in turn, may have different costs.

My gutfeeling says tribals make dirt roads, outlanders make fancier roads. Nobody builds Ancient Highways except the ancients and they are dead or gone.

Maybe 500 silver per tile covered and then on top of that an extra fee that depends on how hard or easy it is to traverse the terrain. Mountainous jungle would be more expensive, flat shrubland would be cheap.

At least it would be a good sink for silver. I'd rather go with a straight up silver cost and pay someone else to do the work: steel and bricks are more finite and limited resources than silver is.

More feedback and thoughts are welcome!

That's about in line with what I was thinking, though I hadn't considered the physical terrain of the planet.

I like the idea of functional Ag sinks b/c wealth can doom a colony :P

In my headcanon the already established factions, sans pirates, have been extant for some time already and would practically have more infrastructure for such projects than a decimated tribe, rich explorer, or crashlanded colony mission.

mabey the road quest only pops up once you have a certain level of wealth
