With my current overworld system I can’t draw two-lane roads without using this block method. Highways are also a culprit, because they are okay maps, but the road is arrow-straight and can’t really incorporate curves. The main reason is my recent investigation into new map types: Industrial parks! Dueling arenas! Race tracks! I have some examples that I’ve hand built with assets I have, but I want to get those generating also… and this same method will work for all of them. So “why now” might come to mind… “You’ve had outposts for years now, so what’s the big deal about revising them now?” Fair question. Our road-plowing routines guaranteed passability and some other code helped give the driveable spaces a little bit of vertical rise and fall. With it we got terrain rendering thanks to Microsplat and some pretty nice grass from Advanced Terrain Grass. And so it did! Parts of the terrain generator came over to the block generator to give the map a more natural appearance… considering it was largely giant squares.
