Roadcraft, the new game from Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment, immerses players in a challenging environment where they must aid in the recovery of areas affected by natural disasters. Utilizing various construction vehicles and machinery, players navigate chaotic terrains impacted by different calamities, calling for meticulous planning and strategy.

A crucial aspect of the game involves creating routes between two points for vehicles responsible for delivering essential supplies for the area’s restoration. With many roads rendered impassable due to disaster damage, careful consideration of the terrain, turns, and potential obstacles is essential, including scouting routes in advance if necessary.

Here’s what you need to know about plotting routes in Roadcraft.

How to plot a delivery route between two locations in Roadcraft

The first opportunity to plot a route in Roadcraft occurs between your Forward Base and a Phosphate Plant. As the game progresses, players will frequently need to establish additional routes. It’s essential to ensure that as your delivery network expands, routes do not overlap.

You can access the Route Infrastructure tab from the in-game map to establish your paths. Simply select the Start Plotting option and configure your routes accordingly. However, it is vital to keep the following points in mind to avoid any issues during route planning:

• Scout the route prior to setting it up to confirm that it is passable for your trucks without encountering unmanageable terrain or other obstructions.
• Avoid sharp turns that are unsuitable for trucks. Wider angles are necessary to allow for smooth turns.
• Whenever possible, follow existing road lines as inaccessible areas can hinder your trucks’ ability to navigate effectively.
• Ensure that no vehicles are left on the road that could obstruct the trucks.

If you encounter complications despite following these guidelines, there are various methods to address them. In addition to rerouting, you can personally drive to the trouble spot to assess the situation and take corrective measures. This may involve repairing damaged terrain or clearing obstacles blocking the way.

You might also face issues with routes intersecting and causing congestion. Consider using alternate entrances, such as the southern entry of the Phosphate Plant, to create paths that do not overlap.

Successfully constructed routes will initially reward you with experience points and cash prizes, along with offering ongoing passive rewards as your trucks operate along these paths. However, it’s critical to remain vigilant about environmental shifts, as ongoing natural disasters can disrupt established routes. Watch for any alert messages that may indicate issues.
