Customizable Streets

Only started playing a little while ago and a seemingly obvious idea occurred to me while helping out with a street project. Why not have built streets be customized to some extent by players? There are a number of ways this could work. Projects could branch different ways at certain phases, affecting vendors, minerals, patches, and other preset things. The top contributors could vote on the branch direction at the completion of a phase. There's also the neat idea of having the number 1 contributor name the street! It adds an extra, aesthetic incentive to being the best! Who wouldn't want a street named after them? Anyway these are just two ideas I came up with for customizing streets, I'm sure there are a ton of other ways to add a touch of personalization to built streets rather than just the preset stuff we get now.

  • In alpha testing we did have a voting system- you would donate to a project and be able to vote for one of two options for what the street should look like (these were upgrades though not new streets). The problem I see is that it is a lot more work for the devs having to create multiple versions of a street. Otherwise yes it would be more customizable and nice.
