Asphalt Concrete
A paved surface constructed with asphalt and concrete. It's durable and extremely efficient for any wheeled vehicle.
Notes
Asphalt Concrete is a high-tier road block that provides a durable, efficient surface for wheeled vehicles, significantly improving travel speed compared to dirt or stone roads. It is crafted from a recipe and placed as a solid block, forming part of the road infrastructure that supports logistics across a settlement. Since better roads reduce travel time and fuel consumption, investing in asphalt roads early in the mid-game can accelerate material transport and vehicle efficiency.
