Laying your own roads in Roadcraft makes travel easier and keeps your trucks moving. You can build roads almost anywhere you want, starting early in the game. This guide will show you how to lay your own roads in Roadcraft with simple steps and tips that work for both solo and co-op play.
Roads keep your vehicles and AI convoys moving, even through the worst mud. Some areas have deep mud or rough ground that can stop trucks in their tracks. Laying your own roads in Roadcraft lets you cross these spots without any problem. You also help the AI get to their goals without getting stuck.
What You Need to Start
You need two main vehicles to lay your own roads in Roadcraft. First, get a dump truck. This truck carries sand, which is the base for your new roads. Second, use a dozer. The dozer spreads and flattens the sand, turning it into a smooth path.
Make sure your dump truck is full of sand. Open your map and use the filter to find the nearest sand quarry. Stay inside the quarry’s area to refill your truck as needed.
How to Lay Your Own Roads in Roadcraft
Drive your dump truck to the place where you want the road. Lift the back of the truck to let sand fall out. You can dump all the sand at once or slowly spread it. Try to spread it a little to help the dozer work better. Then, get in your dozer.
Push the sand to make it flat and smooth. Drive over the sand once to spread it. Then, go back over the road slowly to smooth out bumps. This second pass makes the road easy to drive on for you and the AI trucks.
Always go over the sand twice with your dozer. The first time, spread the sand. The second time smooths it out. This helps AI trucks drive without getting stuck. Plan your roads by looking for muddy or rough spots on the map.
Check your roads often, especially after heavy use. If you see ruts or new mud, add more sand and smooth it out with the dozer. Upgrading your dump truck and dozer can help you build better roads faster. Check out some related guide, How to get more than One of Each Vehicle in Roadcraft Co-op.
