Summary0001091: Building a paved road requires more materials than it should when the road zone is partially blocked
DescriptionWhen trying to build a road, if you resize the 'zone' for road placement and then part of that zone is 'under' another building (like a wall), the ammount of building material required still counts the non-road squares.
Steps To Reproduce1) Lay out the 'zone' of a 1x5 road and see that it should need 2 material to build.
2) Build a 1x5 wall
3) Lay out the road zone again, but this time make it 2x5 and 'slide' half the zone footprint under the wall. You're still only building a 1x5 road, but now it wants 3 material to build, seeming to count the tiles 'under' the wall.

Seconded. This also happens if the road footprint overlaps with existing natural rock (same process to demonstrate)

Can confirm in 0.40.06 - three logs are used to build a "2x5" road with only 5 tiles built, while only two logs are used for a 1x5 (fully built) road. Updating title to clarify this.
