Seriously, its impossible to find anything in the damn towns without a grid search. And after the first search is done, if you forget where stuff is you can no longer do a second search because the ground is already revealed!

To solve this, add roads!

Roads would branch out from a main "crossroads" where the big highways link towns with other towns. These would probably be nothing more than simple dirt paths, but with them we can no longer get lost. If these highways do not exist, then outlying buildings are linked to the mayors house, (or the tavern, whatever)

Even better add some signposts and your set!

(alternatly, a minimap would be great!)

It's been suggested before (by myself, as well!) and it's in the dev notes.   I think it'll come along sometime during the armies arc, because it involves a lot of overworld stuff in general.    So maybe in a few months.

Hmm... now that I think about it, I wouldn't be suprised if a slight change to the code for rivers would make this work on the overworld level...

Overland roads would be great, but until then it shouldnt be that hard to draw simple dirt paths between the buildings.

This would solve another problem. Anywhere the paths meet a cliff they would dig a ramp into the side. Currently towns spread among Z levels are impossible to navigate, even those WITH ramps.

Yeah, roads need to be in the world-gen just like rivers.
