I didn&#x27;t really think of the getting lost aspect. I was in the Badlands when I started thinking about this, where IIRC getting lost didn&#x27;t seem like a major concern. But yes, not being able to easily find civilization is one of those changed assumptions people need to be constantly reminded of.<p>Erosion and other destruction is what I was focusing on, either concentrated because of a &quot;shortcut&quot; or not. We&#x27;re not worried about the erosion&#x2F;destruction caused by animals running all over, so what makes human animals different? That&#x27;s what I was trying to tease out.
