I'm currently doing a ribbon world with the permanent road, which is pretty fun. Would you allow building walls or some special type of flooring on the road specifically to chop the network up? Currently everything connects to everything, which means it's more difficult to coerce the little robot friends to do what I want.

I think the easiest solution would be a starting option to turn off the 'permanent' part.

Ah balls, I'm into the petro part of a bangclown run. Is the big road network ever an UPS issue?

(I have read that longer roads in the transport drone network = longer paths = potential issues), I'm not hitting anything at the moment but my base is very much a baby.

Big road networks aint a UPS issue. It is surprisingly light weight.

I can make the road network removable. The philosophy behind making it permanent was not handing out free road but i could make it minable without it having a return.

Is there a way you could make removing it require e.g. cliff explosives? (not sure if that would be possible).
