Bridges & Bards

[Ookapia]

Would you show your bridges, bards and platforms? This is an update appreciation thread. xD
(We can do the complaining somewhere else).

And Easter eggs?

Are those new fences? The ones with the stone posts and normal wooden fence pieces? Never seen those before.

Combination of iron and board fence, without building up the iron (so it still lights up blue when you have a hammer in your hand)

Please don't post issues in a thread that has nothing to do with it.

There is a technical section https://steamcommunity.com/app/1129580/discussions/7/ full of people reporting the same issue.

I see. I bet that's annoying to see.

Not really, no :) I like to experiment with the options we have to achieve different looks. Combining fences is a great and easy option. Platforms are the next big hit, even if they are limited by uneven terrain. They have the great advantage that they can be placed very close to everything else (I hope this stays in the game) and that you can actually place decorations underneath them. This opens up so many possibilities, hence this thread, show me what you've created, master builders of the Middle Ages!

(I tried my hand at a pavilion to create covered seating in front of the kitchen and failed :/ I didn't have enough room to get the platform up).

I notice that it's possible to place a platform over a tree stump.

I'm now waiting to see when the tree grows back if it will fit through the platform so I can maybe build a tree house or something.

Now let's see if I can build a city on a hillside.

That's the stuff I was talking about xD It looks great! This will be gorgeous when you can walk through the trees on a path. There are "treetop trails" in local relaxation areas - you can charge an entrance fee for that :)

Unfortunately, I often get stuck on my path because of the poor surface, have you by any chance found a trick?

I noticed that about the tree stump too, but it will take some time for it to grow back in my village as we have a very, very long summer of festivities here.

[🎮AliveSince1961🎮]

I also get stuck, especially if I'm too close to the handrails. I destroy the platform or use the unstuck function. No choice, it seems.

[Ookapia]

Oh, I expressed myself in a misleading way. I mean, I often get stuck with platform building. Then I destroy a part and try another way, but it seems that some terrains are just not well suited. So I have a rocky, steep mountain that my villagers always climb up and I can't manage to build a platform path all the way up there. Some terrains are probably unsuitable, but I'm still hoping for a trick.

[Ookapia]

I can't get any further here at the moment, I'll try a longer diversions.

Small things work great, I think this one is really cute:

I'd also like to know if there's a trick to it.

For now, I've dedicated a lumberjack for logs and planks, just for trial and error. I'm trying to build in a zigzag pattern, like the roads in the Alps.

I'll try to take a better photo if the weather improves.
