@Discrepancy :)
I've been playing around a bit more with your roads lately, and for months I've been using the wood chip roads for my Foresters, first road that goes in ;) ) and I've been adding a few here & there as I go - but, there are a couple of designs I would love to see - if you ever came back to the mod :)

So, I know it looks a lot, I've been looking at road ideas for a few weeks, and I was thinking how the new 'themes' that have been coming out could use a companion, a new road.  :)
I know, I know - there are plenty of roads, these ideas are just here in case you, or any other modders are thinking of adding new roads :)

Think of it like an 'ideas boards', rather than a mod request ;)

I could go nuts here if I knew how to do any of this:  (I can create a free account and download 15 if anyone wants me to :) )

1)  grimey bitumen, or greasy stone roads for around the mines & mining towns.  So, sooty, charcoaly coverings. Really tight compacted gravel maybe, with the dark scores and markings etched in, where the soot has discoloured the cracks etc

2)  pebble beach & garden path - light coloured pebbles, beautiful champagnes and creams, to brighten the paths to houses, or down to the sandy shores.

3)  roads around dock areas, I'm not a huge fan of some of the wood roads (not just in this mod), it doesn't fit up against the woods that you've used in the dock pieces - so perhaps some lighter gravel, even with a highlight of smashed shells, so maybe a little blue/grey tint to it.   Or, even some road tiles that have the same wood texture you used in the dock set?

5)  Adding wear & tear to some of the roads, possibly in Winter?  Rather than just a blanket of snow over the road, we get to see the wear track marks over it? 
Even on some of the dirt roads (summer & winter)?

Just wondering if you have any plans on moving the icon for these roads to the Community Icon under DS and Roads, Tunnels & Bridges icon?

I just realized Discrepancy hasn't been around since June. Does anyone know what happened to him? Has he just lost interest?

That's sad, and unfortunate.  :(

Can you, or someone move his roads icon to his community icon?

Maybe his interest will return soon.  I hope so.

Shame, was really curious about an new version of DS Industry & Mining as well, and I do like the overall style of DS´s mods...

Does anyone know if this Mod DS Roads is compatible with the newest 1.7-version of Banished? After all its quite old, 2016... I believe it is actually THE oldest mod in my current list, which is not quite stable yet, and I wonder whether this mod might pose a problem... I´ve started a new map (almost all of DS´s mods an RKEC as base, and a few others), paused, set the blueprints for the usual 5 houses, 1 gatherer etc., and in between I set down two kinds of roads from DS mod; maybe 20 seconds after unpausing and actually starting the game, while the workers are building DS roads (grass path), the game crashed with a "fatal access violation"...
No longer compatible?

galensgranny

I have been using DS Roads with the current version of Banished, and it works fine.

Landei

Thank you. Did a reinstall and set up a new (and somewhat reduced) mod list, including DS Roads - so far no problems indeed.

galensgranny

You're welcome, Landei.  Many of the older mods still work.  With the roads, it would just be an image replacement, so there wouldn't be any problems ordinarily.
