How to Install

2. Select Dustland Delivery and click the Store Page.

How to Build Roads
After installing the DLC, you'll be able to build roads on the Haggard Plains and Twilight Valley maps.
Read on for details on how to build roads.
Road Builder buildings will appear on the map.
At these pre-Fall structures, staffed by robots, you can spend Clout to unlock the ability to build roads.
(Tip: Completing bounty missions issued at the Bar is the fastest way to gain Clout.)
Once the ability has been unlocked, you can spend Clout to plot out the route of your road.
Select any two cities to plot a road between them. The default name of the road is taken from the first letter of each city's name; click the road name to rename it.
Roads are mainly built using three materials: Building Materials, Wood, and Ore. Building roads over rivers or swamps will also require Rubber; in return, you will be able to set up camp in swamp or river areas when the road is complete. Passing over more complex terrain will cost more Clout and resources.
Once you confirm your road plan, construction sites will appear along the road.
Nodes will also appear at various points along your road plan. These can be used to connect your road to other roads.
Transport supplies to construction sites to deliver them. Once a construction site has all the supplies it needs, it will begin construction.
You can deliver supplies in multiple batches. Construction will progress depending on the item with the largest shortfall.
Once all supplies have been delivered, construction on that segment of road will begin.
(Note: If a segment of road has been built, you can drive on it even if the rest of the road isn't complete. This will allow you to access construction sites located within mountains.)
Road segments under construction will be displayed in a translucent red color. Each construction site shows the construction progress of that road segment.
Construction time may differ depending on a road segment's circumstances and costs. Some may take hours, while others can take days.
Finishing construction of a road will grant you Clout and improve your relations with city faction leaders.
The appearance of roads will differ when passing over different terrain types.
Your truck will travel more quickly over roads. They make passing over swamps and rivers more convenient, and also allow you to travel across impassible areas such as mountains.
Other Questions
Q: Will the DLC work with my old save?
A: Yes, Road Builder DLC works with existing saves. Enter any Road Builder building to begin road construction.

v1.20.823 Update
We've made a number of additions to version 1.20.823:
1. New "Negotiator" Mechanic
When trading goods in a city, you can choose a member of your crew to act as negotiator and try to upsell or haggle. The negotiator's success depends on the character's Speech, the crew's attributes, and your relations with the faction you are trading with. Even if the negotiation fails, the character's Speech will be increased.
2. New Hotkeys: You can now quickly close certain windows by pressing Escape.
3. New Recipes: You can now create 200+ more recipes by combining different ingredients.
As always, thank you for supporting Dustland Delivery!
