Travel Here/Preferred Path Brush

[pine swift]

May I suggest also a "travel here" brush? The opposite of the forbidden brush, it causes villagers to consider anything within its path to be desirable over anything outside of it. It would allow villagers to still create their own side-paths organically while also giving users/the Lord/Lady of the settlement the ability to basically say "this is a major road, use it". Brush could also prevent housing from being built there, but that is controllable with the residential brush.

I just think there should be some, limited, ability to guide the villager paths. I love the organic look, most of the time, but I also want some control over major pathways.

I think the way to implement this, and apologies if it's exactly what you're saying, would be to select certain roads that already exist. That way the dev's vision is maintained, but I don't have to do the janky forbidden zones and random fences so my villagers don't walk around like idiots, lol

This is an excellent idea. We need a “preferred path” brush.

This idea would help so much in conjunction with this idea here: https://discord.com/channels/421752495057141783/1336017336808898683
I really, really, really don't like having to paint huge areas Forbidden and then making tiny pathways through that just to keep the village from turning into a huge mess. While it's a okay stop-gap measure during the bug-fixing stage, I definitely think there needs to be more options for routing in the future.
