Grade & paving

Road width is fixed at 1 tile while super-hex planning is being improved.

Fords up to this depth as a last resort. Counts toward length but cannot be paved. Land banks may be lowered to the water surface; the remaining drop onto the bed must still fit the max height delta. 0 is land-only.

Flatten holds one height along the road: it ramps from the start height to the flat height as soon as possible and drops to the end height as late as possible — expect much more terraform than least effort. Start/end height pins the road to a chosen height where it meets existing terrain ("Use existing" keeps the terrain height). Water is never terraformed; banks still meet the water surface.

None follows the Euclidean walking line and can wiggle. 6 hex axes uses 60° corners. 12 dirs also allows the odd-r in-between headings (including north/south F4 roads).

Shortest path is the default and minimizes travel distance. Least effort prefers flatter grades and less terraform, and may take a longer route. The experimental variant starts from the shortest path and re-routes its most expensive digs with a strict cost cap — usually much faster than least effort.
