Plot perfect routes for your deliveries in Roadcraft.
|
Roadcraft, the latest title from Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment, features a setting where you have to restore natural disaster-struck regions using construction machinery, vehicles, and much more. Given that the regions have been struck by various kinds of natural calamities, the terrain is extremely chaotic and disrupted, requiring you to be very cautious with your planning.
One of the most important tasks in the game is to plot routes between two locations for your vehicles to carry resources for the restoration. With most of the traditional roadways being destroyed by natural disasters, you will need to be sure about the terrain, turns, and obstacles on the routes that you plot, even if you have to scout them beforehand.
Here’s everything you need to know about plotting routes in Roadcraft.
How to plot a delivery route between two locations in Roadcraft

The first time you will get to plot a route in Roadcraft is between your Forward Base to a Phosphate Plant. From there, there will be plenty of occasions further in the game where you will have to plot more routes. Additionally, you will have to make sure that none of your routes collide with each other as your network of deliveries starts to grow.
You can set up your routes by accessing the Route Infrastructure tab from the in-game map. All you have to do is click on the Start Plotting option and set up your routes as needed. However, you need to keep a few points in mind while setting up your routes to ensure that you don’t run into any problems:
- Make sure to scout the route before setting it up to ensure that your trucks can make it through without running into any unpassable terrain or obstacles.
- Avoid setting sharp turns as those are impossible for trucks. You will need wider angles to ensure that your trucks can turn smoothly.
- It is always better to follow road lines when setting up your routes. Inaccessible regions will make it difficult for your trucks to reach and pass through.
- Make sure that you don’t leave any of your vehicles on the road blocking the trucks.
Even if you run into any trouble after following these steps, there are quite a few ways to work around it. Apart from rerouting the path, you can also drive down there yourself to check out the problem and take action accordingly. You can rework the terrain and build a road if the terrain is ruined, or remove obstacles blocking the route.

You might also run into problems with your routes running into each other and causing a traffic issue. You can use alternate pathing using other entrances, like the southern gate of the Phosphate Plant, to plot paths without having them converge with each other.
Building successful routes will grant you EXP and a cash prize initially, while also providing bonus rewards passively as your trucks keep driving along the route. However, you must be aware of environmental changes, as recurring natural disasters could cause your already set-up routes to get disrupted. Make sure to keep an eye out for any failure messages that might appear unexpectedly.
