Sometimes you just need a temporary tank trail; other times you need to adjust to changing circumstances.


It would be nice to remove dirt roads. Might be a nice excuse to invent an engineer unit.

The starting road network in this example was created by world generation.

By adding the bypass, logistics points are reduced from 769 to 384 at the western road junction. Also interesting, the detour gives 576 in two directions--potential technique there. I would have guessed the north and south bypass would each be about 384.

Traffic signs could be an inelegant solution to this example, but wishing for something more.



As an aside, might be an enlightening tale regarding logistics movement and road junctions.

Sorry, just noticed the new sub-forum for feedback.

@mod, please move this and these...

In the meantime I would suggest to use trafic signs to block any incoming Logistic Points.

Very minor point: A number of screens have scroll bars because bottom of the text/frame is just below the bottom of the window. The frame graphic is hidden until you scroll down.

Not a real technique. As you know the calculation use divide system so 1st fork 769/2 = 384 goes both side then at the second fork 384/2=192
so the truck will go back home and create 192+384 = 576. and explain the 384 at the node after. As it's 192+192 of the 2nd truck split. You can easily check that on the traffic log.

Yes, loops are evil. Do not let them exist. Exorcise them with extreme prejudice.

(Well OK, place traffic signs)
