Roads of the Rim

RotR - A Rimworld mod allowing road construction on the world map

Introduction

I decided to reimplement Jecrell's amazing RimRoads mod since it had not been ported to Rimworld 1.0.

Features
  • Create Road Construction Sites on the world map
  • Send Caravans with skilled colonists, pack animals, and resources to build the road
  • Enjoy faster movement than the base game on high tier roads, including for all already existing roads (can be switched off in the settings)
  • Part or all of the biome, hills, swamps and season movement difficulty is also cancelled
  • Higher tier roads can be built through impassable terrain
  • Get your allies to help you build

=====LATEST NEWS=====
HOTFIX 2020/06/05
Corrected Caravan text that said resting instead of building
Corrected AISR2G technology text and position
UPDATE 2020/05/06
  • Both ISR2Gs are now craftable at a Machining table, cost less, and get their own "Road Equipment" category including when forming caravans
  • ISR2Gs from previous versions of the mod should all be converted
  • Glitter roads can be built on water
  • Better messages for caravans and construction legs
  • Cost in Uranium and Components are not increased by terrain any more
Please test and report any bugs here

Details

Construct
With RotR, caravans can create a construction site on the world map, players can then select a type of road, click from neighbouring tile to neighbouring tile until they reach their desired goal. If you make a mistake, clicking on a planned section of road will remove it and all sections after it. Clicking on the Construction Site or right-clicking anywhere will finalise the construction.

Work
By using resources and colonists with Construction skill, the current section (or leg) can be built. A progress bar is shown on the world map. Once a leg is finished, the caravan automatically moves on to the next leg. Note : Road legs must be built in the order they were placed on the world map.

Having all colonists down, resting during night time, or a moving caravan will prevent work. Similarly, some roads require a certain percentage of the workforce to have a certain construction skill. If only a lower percentage is available, work will be reduced. If no colonist in the caravan has the required skill, work will be impossible. Prisoners don't work.

Cancel construction
A site can be removed by selecting it and clicking on the "Cancel Construction" button. A Caravan does not need to be there to do so. All resources spent so far will be lost.

Building costs modifiers
Construction costs have two components : base costs that depend on the road and modifiers that depend on the terrain. Roads cost more at higher elevation, starting from 1000m. Hills and swamps also have an effect, which can be checked when clicking on a site. When ISR2G is not used, the total cost can be further reduced from 100% down to 10% in the settings. Anything lower than 100% is probably quite unrealistic, but feel free to use the option.

Important note
It is not necessary to bring all resources at once in one caravan. A fraction is enough for a certain amount of work. However, it is necessary to bring each material with you.
As an example a tenth of the asphalt road: 360 Stone, 60 Steel, 30 Chemfuel is enough material for a tenth of the work (180 work.)

Upgrade
When building a road over an existing one that is slower, 30% of the cost of the existing road will be deducted from the cost of the new road, as long as both roads use that same resource (e.g. A dirt road will provide 120 work and 36 wood when upgrading to a Stone road)

Allies help
Allied factions can help building roads

Impact on movement
The roads of RotR do not only provide a customised movement cost multiplier compared to the base game, they also cancel some or all of the movement cost of the terrain.

See the summary below to see what percentage of a specific terrain feature is cancelled, depending on the road type. Note that these effects apply both to generated roads (from the base game) and built roads from RotR.

Any chance we might get some option when interacting with an ally to request a road? Essentially trigger that event where they build one themselves instead for some cash? I'd even pay double for it.

@BaguetteDoggo The mod only allows designating one hex of road at a time. Click on a hex next to the starting hex, then one next to that hex, and so on, until you've designated all the road sections you'd like to build.

I've been having an error in a large mod pack, but there doesn't appear to be any error in the log, it simply fails to create a construction site upon selecting where to end the road construction. No idea what could be causing it. Select construct road, select road type, select where to end road, and nothing.

@janek Once a caravan is at the work site, it will construct the road instantly if god mode is active, yes.
CzeslawMucha 22 Feb @ 5:54am 
Does god mode form dev mode make road building instant like it does with normal buildings?
Stoa 17 Feb @ 4:42pm 
@Sir Cumcise. Thank you. You are right. The work amount on the road scheme was reduced slowly. I thought it was similar to where they call and start building roads.
Sir Cumcise 17 Feb @ 3:44pm 
@Stoa allies help mean they speed up the road youre building, thats it
Stoa 17 Feb @ 11:30am 
How does the "allies help" work? I have a caravan with build plans toward ally settlement, and called their help, it says they agreed to help (and the option got greyed out)... I have almost completed 1/2 of the construction, but no roads have been constructed from ally's side.

@SiaNKs I have some screenshots from one of my runs on my profile if you are actually interested, but I mainly build village style with separate houses per pawn.
And again, I mostly do tribal starts so even if they get components, they usually sell them anyway.
SiaNKs 17 Feb @ 5:05am 
So you were just sitting in base and building non stop? how did u got components before Fabrication? How did u got reinforced barrel? Only way i see it, you built urself in mountain and waited for caravans
