Reliable Routes Wiki
Reliable Routes gives a handful of tools to players to help MineColonies citizens stay out of where they don't belong - and take logical paths (like bridges) over obstacles (like rivers).
Available on CurseForge. Reliable Routes - A MineColonies Add-On
Routing Blocks are the main tool by which paths are influenced.
Two new Domum Ornamentum recipes allow various materials to be used as "Forbidden Ground" - citizens will not cross these blocks.
- One is a visual "curb" which non-citizens can cross easily, and which you can readily see in-game.
- The other is indistinguishable from a normal block, but will prevent citizens from traversing it. Use with care, as you could accidentally block reasonable paths unintentionally and without a clear visual clue as to why.
The curb - easily traversable by non-citizens and readily visible in game.
Two new Domum Ornamentum recipes increase the variety of MineColonies-compatible pathblock designs available for your colony road network.
- Roads (15/16 height blocks)
- Stairs (15/16 height stairs)
Allow you to define a preferred crossing route within an applicable routing zone.
- (Cyan Box): A routing zone defines the area which triggers a citizen looking for a preferred path to cross.
- (Paired Path Blocks): The endpoints of the preferred path across the routing zone.
- (Pathfinder Lens): The tool which allows you to define and see the Routing Zone and Paired Path.
- As a result, they won't swim across a point in the Routing Zone...
- They'll travel the preferred path.
Provides a means of seeing what blocks are off limits for citizen pathing and what blocks are preferred. Enables the linking of Path Block Pairs and Routing zones.
- Place a Path Pair block at each end of the desired crossing.
- Right click the Pathfinder Lens on both Path Pair blocks to connect them.
- Right click lens on two opposite corners of your desired Routing Zone to mark the area in which the route between the paired path blocks should apply.
- Both endpoints must be in the same colony.
- Crouch-use a paired endpoint to remove its zone, or crouch-use the lens in the air to clear your current selection.
Visualize pathing impact of nearby blocks while holding the Pathfinder Lens.
