Originally posted by Shane:the ramps are just to long. You are already getting a much smaller and steeper ramp in Eco than you would get in real life. (slope)#/media/File:Devil's_Staircase_Wales.jpg Again, you'll note this is the standard ramp gradient in Eco. This road is called the Devil's Staircase. Here is a warning sign specifically for a 25% gradient road, since it is *very* steep, and difficult to drive with even a modern vehicle. The ramp in Eco is 25% - a very steep road indeed. US Federal regulations mandate no more than a 7% gradient in mountainous areas when the speed limit is below 60mph - this is 1:15 - or a ramp that is 15 blocks to descend one block. Here is some information of the gradient of roads: (slope)#Roads if you drive around in R/L you dont need to travel as much lengh to achieve the same altitude Originally posted by Shane:a comparison of roads vs how it should be doesnt work, because in real life the lenght of a ramp to climb or desend 1 block is not correct in the first place. you cannot build a correct and desired road unless you start suspending them, honestly it makes me wanna throw the towel in completely, when im requried to drop a road 5 blocks, the sheer amount of terraforiming, and left over material that returns is just madness and thats before we have to calculate the 20 block distance can even be done in the first place Not to mention if you opt to tunnel instead of road up/down over a intended area, you need at least 3 high tunnel for a empty truck (more for a load im going to assume) roads are just insane by default if you ask me.Ī comparison of roads vs how it should be doesnt work, because in real life the lenght of a ramp to climb or desend 1 block is not correct in the first place. More like 8 (6can be okay) but 8 is better Now even in open areas 20 blocks in lengh requires some serious digging of all types to get the desired drop and because each ramp is 4 blocks the result is sheer madness, the turn radius of trucks, and carts requires a wider than 2 block road, for example. Im not even talking about a mountain style region, i play SP so i spread out, we are already not playing as intended (or as you would in MP mode) im just talking about sending a road in a straight line down 5 blocks in height, this requires via ramps 20 tiles in lengh to achieve.
