Bridges, a boat obstacle

[Life Pilgrim]

I'm not aware that bridges atm can be traversed under by boats (waterbusses). But why is this so? Most bridges in RL when it comes to cities are designed to be able to be crossed by boats traveling from below it.

I've never seen this problem. But then, I tend to build bridges with high arches in the middle. I suppose, if the bridge is low, it would act as a waterbus barrier?

It's the pillars they hinder any boat to pass through. Most built bridges have too many pillars under them.

Last time I used waterbusses, they went under bridges just fine, neatly going through the tiny gap between the pillars, which I thought was pretty impressive.

I wonder if maybe the bridges you're looking at here are too low to the water.

When I tried connecting multiple watrbus stops it couldn't be connected because it wasn't able to go under the bridges and there were many bridges on the map and seemed none of them were able to be crossed by the waterbusses.

But i'll look again.

Just took a picture to see what kind of bridget do you have ;)

try page up and down... you can level the bridge so boats can pass...

Hmm I know you can rebuild bridges but the bridges I mean is the default bridges.

It's very common I found a picture on steam itself

Both bridges forbid boats from going under them.

Not sure what I can tell you. I've sent my waterboats under such bridges many a time, despite how close together those supports look

You are using waypoints, right? If you try to go directly from port to port and there's land anywhere in the way, the boats won't do it.

I see perhaps I should specifically put a waypoint right near the bridge. I will try again next time.

You need to bulid waypoints. I suggest to place ONE near a bridge.
You may have already encountered a similar situation, where you do not have a straight line from one stop to another. Like a curved shore or whatever, then oyu set a waypoint and add it to the timetable. Simply because the waterbuses only know how go on a straight line.

But I found that out by coincidnce yesterday. It is a similar problem like with the good old "Transport Tycoon", where you had to add waypoints too, for long distance routes. Otherwise they gave you a failure message like "Station not reachable". :-P

I see laast time I did put a waypoint near the bridge I will try again. Thank you.
