road tool, no texture and other bugs

I've been using the "Road Tool" mod for Satisfactory and I've encountered an issue. The roads I construct with the mod are completely black, lacking textures, and they are not "solid" – my character falls through the road except on a narrow central line.

Additionally, when trying to build a road, there is no way to get a snap connection with already constructed foundations.

AndreAquila, could you please look into this issue?

Your mod was fantastic in the last version of the game and I’d love to see it working perfectly in 1.0.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I can confirm this as well. The road has a pitch black color, no texture, and I fall through curved sections.

Also having the same issue. Road is only black and unable to change color and add different material.

can confirm. same issue. i fall through the road when walking on it. vehicles fall through as well. no texture and also sounds like you're walking on metal.

btw this mod is great (when its fixed) but i wanted to offer a suggestion. this sounds like it would be hard to do but to add curbs.or the ability for curbs. probably wouldnt want them 100 percent of the time. again, i know thats probably not easy but thats a wish. also, the ability to use a build mode that locks the road straight

The curb idea is wonderful. I agree, that would really make this great.

Chaindr1v3•10/12/24, 10:38 PM

just wanted to add that this is happening to me as well

It's bugged out. You can find the road tool on the bottom of the transportation page of the build menu.

ah many thanks!

AAzrael The Owl ah many thanks!

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 2:31 PM

No worries. Though it has bugs as you can see from the discussion.

EErich Hartmann No worries. Though it has bugs as you can see from the discussion.

Azrael The Owl•10/13/24, 2:32 PM

i have noticed. I hope they can be resolved. maybe the asphalt foundation texture could be used in place of the black texture, as most modern day roads are made of asphalt

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 2:56 PM

I believe this mod used to have couple of different parts as well to handle intersections etc. Now it just has a wide and narrow road tool

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 5:19 PM

Curbs is nice... in some older version we have a paintable and with curbs, and a "Tall" one, the fills everything below... I plan to really work on that mod latter, specially with textures (hope soon) .. I will try now at least fix the collision, it really should be happening

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 5:20 PM

to really fit them with foundations (as it is actually tracks) , i think is better to make a kind of hole with foundations of 2meters.. i think it will fit , let me test it too

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 5:31 PM

Textures, curbs etc are not really a priority or a must. If you could please fix the collision issue as soon as you can, that would be awesome. I really like the road tool mod and have been waiting for it to work properly for a long time now. I can't wait to utilize it

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 5:40 PM

Nice.. im testing now... i think it will work. Now im wanting some glass roads too, like the conveyor mk6.... hehehe

well, i have to let for later because there is a lot of bugs in other mods too AAAAHh!!

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 5:57 PM

That's good news! Andre I'm curious about something. How does the intersections work with this mod? I mean let's say I want to leave the main road and go to different way, since I can't delete the pillars on the side of roads how can it be done? And also, is there a way to snap to a road and build from that node? Like rails?

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 5:59 PM

Yeah! Its like the train tracks, you can make them like this

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 5:59 PM

This is just... Mind-blowing and brilliant.

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 5:59 PM

Oh wait

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:00 PM

So, how do we connect 2 roads?

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:00 PM

i think the best way will be something like this

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:01 PM

But then again there is a white pillar thing there how will the vehicles go over it?

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:01 PM

Do you think you can make a road without those white barriers so that we can use it to connect roads?

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:02 PM

https://i.imgur.com/uIHpUh1.png
yes, in the update 7 version of that mod we have them without the white barriers too... i plan to add them soon as i can

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:02 PM

the vehicles will be good crossing it

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:02 PM

But doesnt look very good too

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:03 PM

Ohh those white things are the same height as the road! I see. Yeah It doesn't look good but when you add the one without white borders it will all workout

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:04 PM

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:04 PM

we had those variations before

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:04 PM

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:04 PM

So, I'm sorry for bombarding you with questions but do you think that you will be able to make the normal foundations snap to the roads? And/or a way to snap truck station to the road? I mean the whole point of the roads is to utilize truck stations

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:04 PM

Yes I remember

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:05 PM

but Update 8 broke everything, and 1.0, a broke a little more

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:05 PM

heheh hope to work on that soon, make a lot of new ones

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:06 PM

Your work is insane and I have huge respect and admiration for your work mate. When I improve my financial situation I will support you:)

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 6:07 PM

That makes me happy Erich... I have a lot of fun doing it, don't worry about that ever. Its really a work i do for fun... Now let me see the next bug heheh, if you see something strange in the mods, please let me know!

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 6:10 PM

It's obvious that you love the work you do. I'm eagerly waiting for all the improvements you will add to the road tool in the future. Take care of yourself.

Captain Copa Cabana•10/13/24, 6:51 PM

So I'm curious. Would it be difficult to make the white curb portion with cement pillars (raised up slightly, instead of just painted lines? Not sure how the clipping would be resolved though. This is looking great btw.

AndreAquila•10/13/24, 7:28 PM

I had one road with 2 meters curb each side if i not mistake. I want to add it asap. They have a little elevation.

Erich Hartmann•10/13/24, 7:54 PM

Well normal roads + roads with raised curbs/sidewalks and roads with no curbs etc. for intersections are all we need for now

Hotwire90•10/15/24, 8:50 PM

question. the mod page still says it includes "road 11" which was the vanilla platform version. can you still include this? I want to use this mod but all my friends want to keep it vanilla. I still see the opportunity for your mod to save me countless hours.

also, i know youre working on other mods and bugs. I seen that you'll be working on textures. is there any way to get the vanilla asphalt texture? also noticed the road sounds like you're walking on metal, not asphalt. keep up the good work. all of your mods are amazing. i installed a bunch of mods i liked and didn't realize it at first but they're all yours! XD
