 Path Cost
 The path cost is the cumulative mobility cost of moving through each
 sector in the path. The cost to enter a sector is based on the
-sector's type and efficiency. All sectors cost 0.4 to move into when
-they have a 0% road factor, except for mountains which cost 5.0 at 0%.
-The mobility cost to move into a sector goes down linearly as the
-road efficiency increases.  This represents the construction of roads.
+sector's type and efficiency.
+
+Sectors typically cost 0.4 at 0% efficiency, and 0.2 at 100%.
+Efficient highways cost less, and mountains cost much more.  See "show
+sect stats" for the exact numbers.
 
-You can also build railways to make the moving of trains faster.  When
-marching trains about, the rail factor is used.  Otherwise, the road
-factor is used.
+Road infrastructure, if enabled, allows you to construct roads in
+sectors and thus decrease their mobility cost by up to 90%.
 
-See "info improve" for more information on improving the efficiency
