Posted May 31, 2015 Clever way of using buildings to raise the area for the bridge to be built - kinda wish we would have done this now that I see it - but dont know that I want to rebuild a 11x2 tile bridge and dig out the 1k dirt or something dropped :S Kudos to you NESGamepro for thinking of this solution - the dirt ramps are so much uglier.

Posted May 31, 2015 Two reasons to use dirt over buildings on highways.If you attach a bridge to a upper floor on a house. The entire bridge poofs if house is destroyed. With disembark/stuck/death bugs that carts and house's have. If dirt can be used I think dirt is better.Also buildings are not allowed to be placed over current highways.

Posted May 31, 2015 i wish we could do arched bridges with with just the 10 dirt above water ramps, maybe with a length minimum so the bridge can go high enough. That's what i originally wanted, I settled for using buildings because I don't like the huge dirt ramps, I think it looks pretty good anyway, just not my ideal. No highway there, it replaced a land bridge that used to be there, goes to a clay island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2015 Southeast Deliverance has this new bridge, spanning the sound between "Serendipity Peninsula" and the mainland: It is called "Serendipity Bridge" and is made up of 3 segments: two 8 x 2 tile "ramps" and a long (36 x 2 tiles) main bridge.

Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) i wish we could do arched bridges with with just the 10 dirt above water ramps, maybe with a length minimum so the bridge can go high enough. That's what i originally wanted, I settled for using buildings because I don't like the huge dirt ramps, I think it looks pretty good anyway, just not my ideal. No highway there, it replaced a land bridge that used to be there, goes to a clay island. I would not be overly concerned about the buildings. So far there has not been any problems with the bridge I constructed that uses two buildings as piers connecting three sections. The bridge is used several times daily. The only issue was one where mobs entered arched walls and could not be moved. Killing them took care of that. Great looking wooden bridge btw. A very good thing about using buildings is that when you want to remove or remake the bridge all you have to do is delete the writs for the buildings and the bridge is gone in an instant.

Buildings used for bridges off deed will decay. Worse yet they can only be repaired by those on the writ. Player neglects repairs or quits game and the whole connected bridge sections vanish when the buildings completely decay away. Something to keep in mind. Also, I wonder if off deed bridges can be repaired by everyone. Recently there was some sort of ownership to them where you could not pickup items under them but this was changed. I am curious if this effects repairs. Easy enough to check I guess if near an off deed bridge. =Ayes= 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am curious if this effects repairs. Easy enough to check I guess if near an off deed bridge. =Ayes= On the bridge built by Sarcaticous/MacGregor the bridge is ql 53.469723 and decay is .7501974 while the building supporting it is ql 75.52861 and decay is .51759714. The building was made before the bridge, obviously. But considering the differences in quality and date of construction I would say that off deed bridges and off deed buildings decay at about the same rate. MORE IMPORTANTLY: Only the bridge builder can repair it. I am in the same alliance as Sarcaticous/MacGregor and am also on the friends list. I CANNOT repair the bridge. My premium has expired. Maybe that has something to do with it. Perhaps someone with a premium account could test this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Do you need to hold an activated repair item, like a house wall, or just rightclick/repair like a guard tower? (House walls give no repair option unless you are holding the correct item, so this may have been the issue) Edited June 2, 2015 by Brash_Endeavors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Like a house with the item activated. I didn't get a repair option this a.m. Now I do. So like he said, anyone can repair it. Edited June 2, 2015 by Clatius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
