| − | A bridge allows for the connection of two land-masses, or even between a house and land or even house to house. 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]] or [[Wood bridge|wooden bridges]])

| − | == Survey ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Survey will give you information on where the other character is standing regarding distance, direction and height difference.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To survey for a bridge two characters are needed. One character must carry a [[range pole]], the other a [[dioptra]]. The lowest quality of the two items determines how long a bridge is that you can 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 actual survey. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Survey'' from the menu.

| |
| − | You line up the dioptra with <other player>.
| |

| − | 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 bridge planning. Activate the dioptra, right click the player holding the range pole and select ''Plan bridge'' from the menu. Standing right in front of the other character will create a 1 tile wide bridge. Standing at an offset will create bridges multiple tiles wide.

| |
| − | <Height difference>.
| |
| − | You work out the orientation and width for the bridge.
| |
| − | You check for clearance between the bridge ends.
| |
| − | You check for protruding foliage.
| |
| − | You check for nearby cave entrances and any lava.
| |
| − | You check for any items in the way.
| |
| − | You check that you have permissions to build the bridge.
| |
| − | You check for any bridges that may interfere with this bridge.
| |
| − | You check there would be no buildings under this bridge.
| |
| − | You work out the styles of bridges that would fit.
| |
| − | You start working out the bridge components required.
| |
| − | Planned bridge area is <x> tiles long and <y> tile wide.

| |
| − | You stop surveying.
| |
| − | You pack up the dioptra.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When all requirements are met you are presented with list of possible bridges.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Bridge_Choices.png]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The selection depends on planned width, length, height difference and clearance below the planned bridge.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have choosen a flat bridge that is longer than 5 tiles then you have the possibility to change the schematic of your bridge plan.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you have choosen a type of bridge you can name the planned bridge and select the steepness of the bridge if you've choosen an arched bridge.

| |
| − | | |
| − | After clicking ''Finalize'' a wooden frame for the bridge is constructed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For each tile of the bridge a bridge segment has to be completed in multiple stages. Those are 'abutments' for the out segments, 'bracing' and 'floating' for stone bridges and 'crown' for rope and wood bridges.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Until the bridge has been completed no other bridge can be started by the character.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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 water level or higher.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''"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 items. 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 at both end 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.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.'''

| − | * Some Bridge info may be found in the week 43 news post here: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/112518-news-update-work-and-progress-week-43/
| |
| − | * Bridge material calculator located here: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/122044-bridge-material-calc/
| |
| − | * The first level of a house is calculated at 33 dirt. Each additional level adds 30 dirt.
| |
| − | * Brick/Marble 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 with the structure. Bridges connecting to the ground in front of a structure will remain.
| |
| − | * A bridge must be two-lane, part of an existing highway, and not connected to any structures in order to be considered part of a highway.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | * Bridges cannot be built over a [[settlement token]].
| |
| − | * '''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.
