Build time for roads and rails

Post by JaguarUSF »

Is there some way to determine how much longer a road or rail will take to get finished? I ordered a new railway built to link supply to a power plant; it started out gray and gradually got built, although I couldn't see a completion date like with industrial buildings.

currently there is no way to tell the end date after you have started building.... but when you start the build and you have build confirmations turned on you can tell how long it will take and make a note of the date in your head for now... we have it on the list to make this available to view as it is being constructed but for now you'll have to wait a bit for this to be added.

this remains unimplemented. It is still on the wishlist, fairly high priority but there are a lot of things with a high priority...

last night i was able to determine the number of days left on the construction of a road by highlighting that hex and then using the terrain tab on the bottom left menu, somewhere in there i found a sub-tab that told me the # of days left for completion and the $$$ per day it was costing me to build it

obviously still no pause ability, and getting to that spot is a little cumbersome, but it was nice to have some clue :-)

Was that a road or a bridge?

Well, I know you can see info about bridge but not for road.

Bridges do report the build time properly but I can't find anywhere that shows road/rail build times. If you find somewhere in the interface that does show it, please post a pic. I know where it was designed to appear and that is still broken...
