Hey there Watabou. I haven't used the generator for a few months so not sure if this is a known issue. Seeing some road "oddities".

The image linked below shows what I mean. (1) Road from a dock to a house but not to any main roads. (2) Row of houses without any road/path at all. https://imgur.com/a/sA8nvIb

I'd also like to make a suggestion that all docks connect to a road or path (or maybe just an option to do so). docks would be well used so there would naturally be a worn path to them.

(Btw is there a place to report/request stuff rather than clutter up your comments? Or do you prefer it here?)

Hi!

The generator tries to connect the dock road with the main road (if there is one), but sometimes it fails, usually because the main road is too far away from the village itself. It doesn't happen too often and I don't consider it a big enough problem to discard the map.
A stretch of coast that includes the docks is now considered a "road", so it gets built up. Otherwise waterside land ends up being oddly underdeveloped.

This place is fine to report/request stuff, but reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyCities/) is easier to track, so it's less likely that I miss anything there.

Hey thanks for the response. I'll use Reddit in the future so it's easier for you. I don't have that map that I took the screenshot from, but that row of houses wasn't far from the main road, but maybe because the rest of the village was across the water? Not a huge deal or anything, easy enough to regenerate, I just wanted to make sure you knew the full details. :)

OK thanks for explaining about the coast being considered a road now. Makes sense. I think I had my road color to close to the shore color so I didn't notice.
