Can't connect road to train station or boat service?

[m72 0]

Has anyone else run into the problem of "plopping" a boat service or train station on non-level terrain - then having the issue where you can't connect a road to it because the "terrain is too steep?" 

 

I'm trying to place boat service on the coast and can't find a space that works - which is awful considering I have to continually waste $31,000 each failure.  Annoying.

I'm not sure if you're facing the same trouble as I was. But Train station and ferry pier have a default/build-in road against themselves so you actually should start building your road at the end of that build-in road instead of attempting to align another road next to it.

For sure.  The problem I'm having is that the tile is being set too deep in the terrain, so when I try to run a road to it, I'm getting the "Terrain too steep" message.  It's really weird. Feels like a bug, or just poor level design.

Hi,

 

It could also be because the road guides are 'on'

I've also had problems connecting my road system to train stations, but on a flat terrain. When i disabled the road guides my road tool didn't snap to the proposed lines anymore which gave me the chance to connect exactly to the built-in road in the train station.

 

Hope it works and hope you understand my confusing explanation

I am bumping this because I have this issue on a new map I am playing. I remember running into this before but I ran into it again recently. It is NOT figaro forest but one that is connected to it in the region and on the coast.

 

From what I can tell, NONE of the plops for the dock allow you to connect to a road; always says terrain too steep.

 

I built an airport but no rail connection is available. This is a major crutch of that specific city plot.
