Added note about conflict concerns between neighboring bridge and building tiles.
== Notice ==Solid objects built A bridge allows for the connection of two land-masses, or even between a house and land or even house to safely cross rivershouse. A bridge, once complete, will act like any standard terrain, allowing for the crossing of animals, players and land vehicles. A bridge can also be made inside caves and can also be paved (Excluding [[Rope bridge|rope bridges]] and [[Wood bridge|wooden bridges]]) To prepare the bridge tile for paving, use a trowel and 1 [[mortar]] per tile, then pave.
== Survey ==
The character with the range pole does not have to do much besides holding the range pole. To do this activate the range pole, click the ground and select ''Hold'' from the menu. When the action timer starts face the character with the dioptra.
The character with the dioptra will do the actuall actual survey. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Survey'' from the menu.
The planning process will print messages in the event log
You pack up the dioptra.
You carefully place the dioptra on its tripod in front of you.
You make sure the dioptra is level.
You point the dioptra at <other player>.
You wave at <other player>.
You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
<other player> is <x> tiles <direction> of you. Also you appear to be <x> dirt higher than <other player>.
You wave at <other player>.
You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
You look through the dioptra.
You focus on the range pole.
You read the graduations on the range pole and work out the height difference.
The tile border to your helpers <direction> is level
Until the bridge has been completed no other bridge can be started by the character.
 
'''It is also important to note that, with bridge permissions set accordingly, players other than the original planners of the bridge may work on and complete said bridge.'''
== Bridge Warnings and Possible Solutions ==
'''Your end of the bridge is too close to the water level!'''
*raise both tiles Both ends of the bridge need to be at water level or higher.  '''"The quality of the one holding [[dioptra]] makes it too hard to work out the distance." or "You can't read the graduations on the [[range pole and dioptra by 10 slope higher for 5 tile-long ]] at this distance".'''*Improve both items. Note that the lowest QL of the two will determine the max length of bridge and 60 - 80 slope beyond ityou can plan.
'''"The quality of the dioptra makes it too hard to work out the distance." or "You can't read the graduations on the range pole at this distance".'''
*Improve both materials. Note that the lowest ql of the two will determine the max length of bridge you can plan.
'''You notice that there is not enough clearance for a bridge to be built here.'''
*Remove trees, houses, fences and at both end tile tiles where the bridge should have enough drop off.*For bridges from a building, all walls under the bridge must be a solid wall type. Arched, windowed, and doors will not provide enough support.  '''There are some terrains nearby'''*A cave entrance is one factor. Make sure to build the bridge at least 2 tiles away from the opening.  '''The (East) tile border in front of you must be level.'''*Level the tile borders where the bridge will connect.  '''Some terrain is in the way!'''*Possible solution: lower any tiles that height-wise are near the span of the bridge.  '''You notice that the west bridge end does not butt all to same building all way along.'''*Possible solution: In the diagram below try standing on the letter '''B''' for both planners.   +-----+-----+-----+ |A B| | | | North Building | |C D| | | +-----+-----+-----+ W | | | | E e | | | | a s | | | | s t +-----+-----+-----+ t | | |D C| | South Building | | | |B A| +-----+-----+-----+ == Height difference ==Arched bridges have a limit on the maximum height difference between the start and end point, which is between 10 and 11.43 per tile.{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"!

== Skill Requirements ==
Here is a table of the estimated required skill to plan bridges (by length and material). The person holding the dioptra requires this skill. These numbers are rough, whole-number estimates. '''You may require slightly more skill in practice.'''

== Paving ==
 
The surface of a bridge can be [[Paving|paved]] (Excluding [[Rope bridge|rope bridges]] and [[Wood bridge|wooden bridges]]).
 
As with reinforced cave floors, this is accomplished first by activating [[mortar]] and using it to '''Prepare''' the surface of the bridge, then using the appropriate pavement material to pave the prepared tile.
 
[[Pavement]] can be removed from [[bridges]] at any time using a [[crowbar]]

== Notes ==
* The first level of a house is calculated at 33 dirt. Each additional level adds 30 dirt.
* Brick/Marble/Wood/Slate/Sandstone bridges require solid walls directly below, for at least two stories of the building. Example: 3-story house can have a door on the first floor, but must have solid walls for the next two floors on the side with a connecting bridge.
* Any bridges connected directly to a structure will disappear upon the structure being destroyed.
* Bridges will only begin to decay after a week of no use.
* Modifying the terrain after planning a bridge will require re-planning the bridge.
* You can dig under bridges, with the exception of at the ends or next to supports.
* On neighboring tiles, bridges and buildings do not generally cause a conflict with one another. This is regardless of the order in which each is built.
* 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).
* '''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.

* Each house floor is calculated as 32 dirt slope, you need to be higer from water level for arched bridge atlast 8 slope.
