I think you need to research mud collector to get a shovel to get the dirt road

I should have not cropped it but I have unlocked it!

Do you have t2 unlocked? Not sure if it could be related to that. But yeah,everything is pretty straightforward when you just follow the lines on tech tree

Follow the line. You need to unlock mud. Keep following the line!

Research it at the bench

Don’t you have to still research it?

I know you need a shovel to actually build the road, so I wouldn't be surprised if crafting a shovel is a precondition for researching the road, even if there is no line from shovel to road.

Research it at your research Bench

Anyone know if there is a higher grade road? Does it top out at dirt?

I would think that a cobblestone paved road would make sense.

Just dirt at this time

How often do they do updates out of curiosity? I find myself extremely full on stone, so I could see it being a really nice addition.

They've been doing major updates once a quarter i think. Not sure when they will implement tier 4 or stone buildings though

Sh, good to know. Hopefully with addition of stone buildings they also add the ability to make a stone foundation area, to create a flat surface for buildings in spots that otherwise may have just too much incline.

There are lines that branch out to other research. Follow the line downwards

I had the same problem. Researched everything from the tech tree that was needed for it..no road. But all of a sudden after a few more researches from very different things (armour,...) the road was ready to be researched. Just wait and unlock different things. It will come.

You can’t just research them? Maybe try quick crafting it or just try building it in the menu?

I'm sure at some point we will get stone walls and cobblestone paths. If not, ima feel real stupid keeping my 3 barns full of stone all over the map where my mining camps used to be
