Ramp to 2nd floor

[neofit 85]

Hi,

 

I have this, I would like to make a ramp (bridge) to tile 1. IIRC there is a minimum length, so I should start on tile 3, minimum, right?

Minimum Length is 1 tile, but it depends on the slope.  Looking at the tiles, because of how they're sloped, you'd have to begin the bridge from Tile 3 because that is the one with a Flat Border facing the building.

 

If you were to Raise 2, or even the one to the right of 2 up to be Flat, then you could also do a bridge from there.

Slopes are only temporary in this picture. If I raise tile 3 to the level of the 2nd floor on tile 1, that bridge from 3 to 1 won't be too low to let people pass under it, won't it?

I think it depends on which type of bridge you want at that point. You might be able to get under a timber bridge, but I doubt any of the masonry bridges would open up enough.

You could always try Deedplanner 2.9.10, it has bridges in it, so you could get an idea what it would look like.

It likely won't let you pass underneath the back edge as it would only be +/- 16 slope under the bridge. Here's some pics of that scenario per DeedPlanner 2.9.10:

I didn't even try to see if DP 2.9 was still compatible with the game-produced maps, thanks for the info.

I've tried from behind the house, and I'd actually prefer it this way, a 1-tile simple no-shenanigans ramp. But is seem too good to be true, like I'm foreseeing the game telling me "nope, too short" . I wonder if Deedplanner knows all the limitations of the WO bridge code.

DeedPlanner doesn't know all the limitations, however as long as you have the skill, you can plan any sort of flat bridge as long as the slope per tile of bridge doesn't exceed 20.

 

Two helpful numbers to remember are the 1st floor above the ground (2nd floor) = 33 slope, and each floor above is another +30 slope. So if you want a flat bridge to the 2nd floor, make sure the slope is 33 higher than the house.

 

One tile bridges are definitely possible however. The only limiting factor with connection to a house is that the wall (and the one below that if higher than 2nd floor) it connects the abutment to must be an actual wall (not window, etc).

So, if I understood it correctly, and my house starts at elevation 91 according to Deedplanner:

Height of 2nd floor = 91 + 33 = 124. A height of 124 on the next tile will give me a flat ramp.

2nd floor + max slope per tile of bridge = 124 + 20 = 144.  Next tile of 144 will be the maximum height at which I could place a 1-tile ramp to reach the 2nd floor.

 

Am I correct?

In case anyone will be looking for this information later, the max slope is indeed 53 from the bottom of the house.

Yes and any other floor adds 30, only bottom floor adds 33.
