You'd think it would be easy, but it doesn't appear to be.
Normally, a building has a little section in its code that tells it where it's allowed to be built. Regular ground, Hill, Mountain, Water, whatever. So it was easy to modify the Crop Field to allow it to be built onto the hills.
But the thing with the roads is that that section of code doesn't exist for them. So there's nothing to modify to allow for hill/mountain building.
There's lots of things like this that happen behind the scenes in areas of the game that the modkit doesn't have access to.
so then could you not put a hill conforming road into the game that's marked as a building? like let's say make it be seen as a crop field but give the benefits of faster walking speed, ai following it to target destinations, etc??? you wouldn't need or want buildings like houses to build along the road on top of a hill anyway given how standard buildings don't conform to terrain and thus cause the area under the building and around the building to conform to IT rather than the other way around making the ground FLAT upon finishing any building in the first place. the benefit of the farms is that they don't force the terrain to become flat, so making it a "building" that conforms to the hill rather than JUST a road actually works in this situation. you get what i'm saying? granted this road would require work to build it rather than just placing the material down and BAM it's a road lol. so it would be more built like a BRIDGE that conforms to the terrain lol.
