Rebuild the road?

[MrKay]

Hello everyone!

So, I got a (little) fire in my prison and it destroyed about 95% of my road. I've tried to rebuild the road with the various materials, but I wasn't able to do this. It would be great if this could be added to the game or that the road can't get destroyed by fire (or other things). It bothers me a little that the once good looking road is now just burned/greyish looking.

If there is a fix for it, please let me know. If not, please add this to the game.

wow, that sucks, I didn't know the road could be burned.

The road tiles are deliberately locked so you can't build/directly modify it. This is done for technical reasons, since there's a lot of bugs if you try doing anything other than building the new road gate on top of it. The same goes for the tiles bordering your prison.

I agree, being able to "rebuild" the road would be nice, or at least being able to construct new material over it.

btw: That "burned/greyish looking" material might be gravel.

its gravel - if its burns outside within the prison walls its can be removed and replaced with grass or earth

Yes I know and I can understand that they lock it if it prevents bugs/glitches or makes the game run smoother. The only thing we can build on the road is the gate, which is a great because it prevents prisoners from escaping.
I hope they will add something so that we can rebuild the road or that it can't get on fire.

Yes indeed, it is gravel. I compared it by laying some gravel next to where it was burned.

Well, there is offcourse the possibility of editing your savegame. It's quite a hassle to get that done so i would advise living with it or starting a new one.

If you really feel the need to change it back I'll try to help you but I'll need your savegame

Just to point it out, if you demolish a tree over the road, you also demolish the road below, leaving a hole.

Yea you shouldn't 'destroy' (or 'dump') the tree on the road, you should 'dismantle' it. Then it won't be any problem.

Off-topic:

I note that your Solitary Cells are 3 tiles plus a door. You can make them one tile plus a door. You also do not need the Solitary Door; a standard Jail Door works as well.

It is a matter of aesthetics and personal taste. Just wanted to offer it as an option, not a suggestion.
