Country Road Upgrade

Country Road Upgrade

Asphalt for the whole countryside, in one click.

Around 1940 the asphalt country roads unlock, but every old dirt country road on the map has to be replaced by hand, segment by segment. This mod does it for you.

How it works

• When the asphalt country roads become available, a notification shows how many old country road segments are on the map and roughly what the upgrade costs.
• Click the notification to start. All old country roads are replaced with the asphalt version of the same size (small, medium, large, with or without barriers).
• The upgrade runs in small batches over a few seconds of game time, so the game keeps running smoothly. A second notification reports the result.
• Out of money? The upgrade stops and a new offer appears as soon as you can afford the next part.
• Not now? Just dismiss the notification. With the reminder on, the offer comes back once a month for one game year, then the mod stays quiet.

What is not touched

• Town streets, highways and all other road types. Only base-game country roads are upgraded.
• Segments with a stop or signal on them, and segments with tram tracks or bus lanes added later, so nothing gets lost.
• Segments the game refuses to rebuild (for example a station or another building in the way).

Those are listed in the result notification and can be upgraded by hand as usual.

Settings

• Construction costs: On = the upgrade costs money like normal construction and stops if you run out. Default: On.
• Monthly reminder for 1 year: offer the upgrade again every month for one game year after the first offer. Default: On.
• Debug mode: prints progress to the in-game console. Default: Off.

Good to know

• Houses standing in the way are removed like when you rebuild a road yourself.
• The game script does not run while the game is paused; the upgrade starts or continues after you unpause.
• Can be added to or removed from existing savegames.
