Half baked systems like bridges def ruining the experience.

What's the point of color coding bridges with yellow and red? I assume it's to let you know that yellow means the bridge can be built. Wasted an hour building a bridge because it only tells you AFTER you gather the resources and build it that there is an obstacle in the way. Not only that.... but even though the bridge CAN'T be built.. it will still use the resources to build 12 out of the 13 sections lol. How bout you tell us BEFORE we waste an hour if the bridge can be built or not. Absolute asinine systems in an otherwise great game. Revamp the entire bridge system please or take the color coding out of it because it means nothing. Having a full yellow bridge segment or red means the same exact thing. It's gonna be random if you can build it or not.

In my experience I can't place a bridge ghost unless it will actually allow a bridge to be placed there. I've only built about 10 bridges so far though.

Yup. If its not green all the way, it want accept it.
It will how ever (start too) build a bridge and the complain something is blocking it. If you got a truck there, move it.
Also silly it will build around tree, and not remove them when building.

yeah the game will let you build the bridge but the only thing it looks for are the elevation mesh. It doesn't look for obstacles so it will let you put the bridge down then deny you after you waste an hour getting the mats there. So stupid.

You are shure that your car(s) arent near bridge, I observed that if a bridge is starting to be built, then cars are the obstacles that prevent bridges from being finishad.

Nearing completion of one specific achievements related to bridges (ie I built quite a lot), never had any issue once...

Yep. It's built in architecture that does it... Example railroad tracks (can't think of anything else right now)

Right on. I'm jealous lol. Are you building bridges in those premade sections only? (like where it's clear a bridge should go here). I like to make bridges in more random spots sometimes.

I'm on deluge map and built 4 wooden bridges and never ran into this issue......yet

Sounds a bit like user-error to be honest. I have built loads of bridges and other than a few clipping a bit into the ground, ive not had a single issue. If the bridge has red sections, you can't build there. If you build a bridge and vehicle is blocking it, that section will go yellow until you remove the vehicle.

If you delete a fully built bridge, you get the materials back aswell

“If the bridge has red sections, you can’t build there” - That’s the entire point of my post. To let people know that it doesn’t work like that all the time. The game gave me FULL green sections.. then let me gather the materials and put them in. If any section is red you can’t even place the bridge down to even feed it materials. After feeding the bridge those mats.. it didn’t complete the bridge even though all sections were green. And no there were no vehicled anywhere to be found and nothing moved into the area before and after. I’ve built 12+ bridges so far and only had it happen once so it’s very rare.
