In RoadCraft, you should prioritise building structures to ease the way transportation works. That involves mapping out roads and finding the best possible roadmap from point A to B. Sometimes, things can get tricky when you wish to navigate your surroundings, so you need to simplify how you place roads, bridges, and map out routes for your vehicles. Luckily, the game does come with AI, and this guide will explain how to use AI efficiently to map out roads and bridges in RoadCraft.
Using AI to Plan Road Networks in RoadCraft
You can use the AI feature right after completing the second mission. You get a brief introduction on how AI works in helping you map out your road structures. Right under the Infrastructure section of the build menu, you can map out the route and vehicle by simply selecting the points where the vehicle has to drive on. Once you are done, you can select the vehicle for the task and it will automatically drive over the points that you have marked out.
It will drive back and forth from point A to point B till you decide to cancel the route via the same menu. You can also choose to spectate by selecting the vehicle and clicking on the spectate option. Using the AI feature increases efficiency, as you are now free to complete other tasks on the side. You can plan routes not just for transportation, but also for building roads by supplying the right materials and using the right vehicles.
Building Roads and Managing Resources using AI
The routes can be mapped out under the same menu, and you can watch as your chosen vehicles start laying out the path. Starting with laying down sand, then flattening it out before applying asphalt and the finishing touches, all this can be automatically done using AI. Resources can also be managed using AI, as you will automatically get notified if you are low on supplies. You will also get indicators on where you store your raw materials, and you can get an automatic head count on the amount of supplies available if you wish to build something in the near future.
Given the kind of game that this is, building bridges in Roadcraft is something that you can expect to do regularly. We have put up here a guide on how to go about doing this for various types – Wooden, Metal & Concrete, to get you going quickly on this.
