Road
,→Description: updating
==Description==
Road construction is very important in Wurm, it lets you go places - fast. You could make simple paths out of [[dirt]] and [[packed dirt]] tiles, but those get quickly overtaken by [[grass]] and [[trees]]. [[Sand]] lasts longer, but is slow to walk on. On a [[Paving|paved]] road you can reach speeds up to 17.31 28 km/h, compared to the 11 km/h on grass and less than half of that on sand. That in combination with finding your way around - which many seem to have trouble with in Wurm - makes it pretty obvious that roads are a good thing to have.
==Levelling==
One-tile wide roads are usually sufficient. For heavily used [[highway]]s wider designs have been used, for instance to make it easier to guide your horse or cart on auto-run.
As for paving material, [[gravel]] roads are easiest to make, because they only require one [[rock shard]] per tile to pave. However, they are slower to travel than [[cobblestone]], [[stone slabs]], [[marble slabs]] or [[stone slate slabs]].
Cobblestone and stone slabs are equally fast, up to 17.31 km/h walking speed. But [[stone brick]]s for cobblestone take much less raw material and effort to create than slabs.
