Hey, first off thank you for your amazing feedback! We really appreciate that you took the time to play our game!
We're so pleased that the vibe of the game seems to have come across well. The roads should cost 0 fuel to travel across, as the idea with them is that they kind of act like a fast travel between settlements. We've had a few people point out that it feels like the auto suggestion paths should snap to a nearby road, if there is one. It's definitely something we'll put on our radar to look into!
Right now, our team is giving this prototype a break while we work on other things. But we're definitely keen to jump back onto the wagon (pun intended) in the future to see what else we can do with it! Thanks again for your lovely comment and feedback!
