Did the DEVS ever state if we will have a natural path option without the "markers" along the sides?
Natural Path Markers?

Thanks. It's great they are so open to the community's ideas. I'm hoping we'll see it Alpha 3

Having small stones as path markers would be a nice mid-point. That way it would look more natural than white posts.
Only just over a week to go until we find out (and I have the following week off work)

And even after a week it's still subject to change.
Having those path markers along the edges of the Natural Paths, detracts from having freedom paths running through the landscape. It would be better without them, just to have the worn grass effect would look much better, without any markers at all. I just hope Frontier picks up on this and decides to remove the stone markers altogether.
They should incorporate a slider that let's you change how spread out they are or having none at all.
THIS Is A GREAT IDEA! [up]
Natural Path Markers = Vomit

I guess the DEVs didn't thought about any open country roads and fields when they made this natural paths. The small fences is obvious considered for roads close to vegetation in a flower park or a forest. And of course, to make the road visible even after we eventually recolors it to invisibility.
I like the idea of stone edges as a compromise. This is after all a double issue to be solved. Visibility and style.

The thing is : when you say "natural" path is that it's supposed to be done in a "natural" way, which mean : no curbs.
For now it's not a "natural path", but just a different kind of "path" like any other, just with a different design. (which is great by the way, don't get me wrong)
But natural paths are made by the people (something called the user experience, like the famous picture below) and not the park owner.
So, even if most (if not all) like the new paths (this feature was a real good surprise [yesnod][up]), we still don't have "natural path" for now, nor the "invisible" path that would allow us to make really cool things (like "gardens" with pic-nic tables that seem to be in the middle of the lawn, for example).
And, I think it's an addition they can do extremely fast to be honest.
PS : It's something I have in my questions for the next Q&A, so, we will be fixed quickly I guess. [happy]

Angelis... LOL! That pics says it all. You can also connect it to Miyamotos sayings about game desigers intention of gameplay and the users free way of gameplay that never follows the designers intentions. [heart]
Always be open minded for everyone to play your game on its own way!

Not just the look of picnic tables in the field but paths through our wonderful buildings.
Yeah, it's the funny thing about posting this picture in this thread. [big grin]
This has one literally and a figurative sense [uhh]
Yes, and many other applications to which we do not think yet.

Those would be better as a building tool. We could then line paths ourselves, but could also line flower beds and other stuff.
Frankly Frontier messed up. They gave us so much power in our building tools and customization that we want more. Stuff we would not even thought about had they not done so well with the stuff they did give to us.
