Add rope bridge width limit info
== Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions ==
'''Your end of the bridge is too close to the water level!'''
*Both ends of the bridge need to be at 1 dirt or higher than water level or higher.

Note to build any bridge section, the skill requirement is:
== Notes ==
* Bridges can on be 1-3 tiles wide, no matter the creator's skill, except for wood bridges which cannot exceed 2 tiles in width and rope bridges which are always 1 tile in width.
* Bridges and their components cannot be dyed.
* Bridge type is somewhat limited by wall type when connected to a building. Rope bridges can be built with any wall type, but a wood building will only give rope and wood options. Building types using masonry (stone, slate, etc) will give the option to build non-wood bridges using masonry components.
* Bridges cannot be built over any tile that has a [[settlement token]] or any opening into a mine. These obstacles must be located 2 tiles away from any bridge component, at least, in order for successful bridge planning to take place. See image on [[rope bridge]] page for visual example (here the mine entrance is located just outside of the interference range).
*An approximation for the length of a bridge that can be planned is quality x 0.4, but as its almost impossible to stand on the tile borders its best to add 1-2 quality, Note that the lowest QL between the two tools ( [[dioptra]] or [[range pole]] ) will determine the max length of bridge you can plan.
*Flat Bridges over 5 tiles will require 1 or more support tiles added to the bridge plan* '''Building Tip:''' Building 2 or more tile wide bridges can be difficult to plan. As the diagram shows below you must offset your two characters (the A and the B in the diagram) by how many tiles wide you want the bridge to be and make the two characters face each other.
