* [[Landbridges]]* [[Dioptra]]* [[Range pole]]
Added final note in "Description" to address slope/flatness
== Description == A bridge allows for the connection of is a player-made structure that spans an open space between two land-massesstatic points, or even between a house and land or even house to houseallowing movement across said span. A bridge, once Once complete, will act like any standard terrain, allowing a bridge allows for the crossing of animalsplayers, players and land vehicles, and creatures to move across. A bridge Bridges can also be made inside built between land masses and structures alike as well as in caves , over land, and over water. Bridges can also be paved (Excluding [[Rope bridge|rope bridges]] and [[Wood bridge|wooden bridges]]) To prepare flat as well as built on a slope from one end to the bridge tile for paving, use a trowel and 1 [[mortar]] per tile, then paveother.
== Survey ==
When all requirements are met you are presented with list of possible bridges.

The selection depends on planned width, length, height difference and clearance below the planned bridge.

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 ==
* Bridges and their components cannot be dyed.
* 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 [[mine doorrope 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.
