More beacon and plotting changes. Great. I optinistically think they just spelled “We’re launching private planets soon” wrong.

Gotcha sorry.
technically im not deviding a planet. The map is square and seemless so you’ll just run the other way you will get to the other side.
Now if I’ve made a 3rd road on the planet that goes all the way around then I would have devided the planet in 2
Well technically YOUR build is blocking someones expansion right? I mean lets be honest any plot laid down blocks anothers expanding there.
I know lets all just hunt and not build lol everyones happy.

Very good topic for discussions.
Since its a building game, road is one of big parts and also be considered as normal buildings like home/basement…
But when your roads are acrossing the whole planet, you are both connecting and griefing everyone there. If its Tier 1 or Tier 2 planet, you could say that your roads help newbie to find their way to civilazations to cover up your world eating ambition, but you cant say so on Tier 3 or higher planets since everyone is using portals to travel.
You should not be punished by building your dream planetary roads, but please do considering you are also hurting someone else’s dream build places.
Although I love seeing people’s roads, but I cant agree with this job since you are destroying other people’s fun.

I do agree to most of this and I dont mind new system
Yea but any big / small build on a planet could do that. When people wanna build thier dream build they scout out a area first to check if its reserved, atleast that is what I would do
I made sure when I places the plots that I didnt do that 
If people connect after that then that is thier fault not mine
Edit: I do ajust my build a bit if other people connect and if they want me to

How about someone wants to build in the middle of a huge ocean, but your roads and people’s roads are acrossing the middle of every sea/lakes on every planets (just an example). And maybe you couldnt even build your planetary roads if there were people already did that on every planets.

Its up to luck, who ever plots there first. I mean asking someone to move thier build just because I wanna build there is kinda selfish / rude + people can make thier own lava sea/ lakes if they want it.

roads definitely don’t conform to some people’s views of acceptable builds but then that kind of thinking opens a big can of worms…big rectangle blocks, huge gleam towers etc (which can all be in the way of someone else’s expansion ideas…). where do we stop with our own subjective views.
I thought it great fun to build a big road around soch I…so much so I built a second one. That was a while ago and I’ve since demolished a lot of it already as my objectives and tastes have changed. might have to take more out if I want to fit in with these new policies of course.
I now build tunnels to new builds and while these don’t impact the surface in a negative way, they will still be seen as a negative thing.

You essentially divided the planet up into 4 regions that can never connect to each other besides connecting to your roads…

im confused, there is only 1 cross point not 4
I’ve only made a box around the map not divided it.
its like my road is a reset point where if you head in one direction it resets at one point
its still all connected even with my road?
buttom is connected to the top and right / left side is also conneced

planets are round not flat, there are no ends of your roads… they are all connected so… you basivally divided planet into 4 regions connected at each sides with your roads
unless you cover only half of planet… not connected north-sout and west - east sides
The planets are actually toruses. If he redrew the map, basically he has put an outline around the map and anyone can plot inside the whole rest of the map. I’m not near a PC but someone should be able to MS Paint a demo pretty easily.
Those four corners “connect” in game
That said here is my opinion on world roads:
They can be a little useful like for gleambow and non platform hunting.
If the road builder has consent of all the EXISTING settlements they bridge I think they are fine.
But there isn’t a world road on any of my planets so I should reserve judgement.

Its ok because in the end you know what the solution is gonna be right? You only get x amount of plots per planet and only place them in a compact area, Welcome to being BOUND so now YOU will also be limited but hey be careful what you wish for because youre about to get it.
this is a whole planet map.
If I moved the cross to a corner of a map it would look like a red square around the planet. not a planet split in 4 ^^
I do see why people think this tho 
Edit: If I where to do this on the planet earth it would be another story

Isn’t any build blocking expansion to others?

My point exactly! Had a player the other day come up to me and say “hey why you plotted here? I was planning on building in this area” I was like “well so was I thats why I plotted it?” they went on about how much plots i have compared to his and how unfair of me ect… like its my fault./facepalm

Yeah, you are indeed correct. My bad!
But if you happened to be close to the road it will still feel like you are limited.
Not saying it’s bad or anything, I have a 300 plot long road myself but I also do know that if someone were to build a road all around the planet near my existing builds that I would not like it much…

yea most player dont know about this. Even when I was building my first road I was quit confued over this because I was comparing it to a IRL planet

Ive been thinking about this for couple days now. What if youre prestige and settlement were cumulative on the planet you reside, in other words no absorption unless you opt in to it and roads didnt work as absorption tool or corals? The road ppl still get their roads and the builder folks can build on either side with no interruptions? Just tossing it out there. FF and prestige stay localized.
To breaki it down I am expanding I come to a road i join to it with mine and go right on expanding on other side. he get FF you get FF but no one gets absorbed or broken.
