FARB: Fully Automated Road Builder?

I don't know if this is already a thing, or perhaps something I can do with FARL, but is there a way to build long-distance paved roads in game currently?

Try to use the Farl Module in the car and select a street blueprint.

I think FARL needs to have a rail in the blueprint to accept it, which precludes using the car effectively.

Also, come to think of it Fully Automated Road Paver fits better, and FARP is more entertaining.

It's not perfectly what you want, but close enough to fulfill your needs. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/DaveMcW/ ... blueprints

How about Fully Automated Road Tractor, or FART?

I recently wrote a mod, Cement Shoes, that can enable you to lazily construct roads: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/EntropyS ... nt%20Shoes

Then we need Asphalt Shoes please.

Cement shoes sounds like sleeping by the fishes.

The pun was the goal, actually. :p The shoes work for stone and landfill as well.
