I don't know what U+2261 means... what's that alt+number of it?

Make huge pits.  Dug all the way from the surface, to the third cavern, or lower!  Pave the inside of it in gold.  A few dozen Z's of gold tunnel will drive up value.

I'm having some trouble finding it. I don't think ≡ has an alt code. I use the character map when i use that one.

Laptops of that kind often have Fn-keys.

You can build roads inside your fortress, out of precious metals or even soap, and save wear and tear on the road crew.

At some point, I always start building some kind of road network on the surface (including "bridges" a.k.a. floors+supports by walls). If available, I use obsidian for that, which then easily pushes values of the netweork into 5 digit numbers.
Setting traffic restrictions then makes the dwarfs follow the network^^

Bridges (the "b - g" kind) also count towards the road value. I used sterling silver blocks to reach my requirement, since they're cheap and easy to make. Copper and silver are everywhere.

By the way, I design table top RPGs and other games. You can buy some.

Try paving it with something valuable, like... Well, gold.

Roads stop plants and trees from growing there, which, if wagons were ever in the newest version, could block the path to your depot.

I made my roads out of marble blocks. Connecting all 4 directions should then be enough to get to the desired amount.

A road does not actually guarantee, that merchants will always get to your fort. Even a used and broken bolt on that road will cause a 3x3 square to block the way and you cannot clean it up, or?

I don't think used ammo blocks the terrain... anyway wagons are still broken/not used in the latest version.

The only things that block wagons are:

-Boulders
-Things that block creatures

So a 3-tile wide paved road will allow wagons to path in any circumstance, provided you smooth the boulders underneath it first (boulders will also block roads from being built on that tile IIRC).

Arghs! Just checked those parts of my roads. There are granite boulders below those broken bolts...  ::)

Broken bolts can't appear on roads anyway. I personally like to save my gold, so I paved my roads of steel. I think it sounds cool too.
