Road tools

[AaronArx]

Hey guys do you think you could add tools for road placing?

Like for example, a compass for roundabouts, a tool for ellipsis, or maybe something for regular polygons like hexagons for example?

I think they will have the ability for you to save your designs and reuse them. So once you create a small round about or a certain road layout or junction you can use it again. At least that's what they have planned or have hinted at in the videos.

Yeah but i'd have to create a lot of different sized roundabouts to use them properly, and also creating them would take a lot of job.

Do you think that modders could make these tools? or maybe having them in a DLC?

I think an ellipse tool would be handy, I suppose you on that.

I'd love to have some abilty to draw circles on the ground as a guide, but not the normal ellipsis way, which always ends up in the wrong place. I'd like to be able to click where I want the centre of the circle, then drag to where I want the outside to be (ie draw the radius from centre outwards) then have a perfect circle made in the exact centre I wanted. In fact I'd love to be able to draw circles by defining their centre in *any* art program I have used!!! Never found it.

I'd like if we could draw an overlay in any art program and have the lines superimposed as a layer on the world as a guide to construction. Maybe use a streetmap of our town as an overlay provided we could define the transparency color (white on most streetmaps)

Only if created within the Editor.

I'm quite sure that the road tools will be as they are at the moment. The Modding Tools allow you to create all kinds of intersections and both reuse them over and over in any of your cities as well as sharing them on the Steam Workshop. And I bet that once the game is released a lot of enthusiastic players are going to create more than enough different junctions, roundabouts and more.
