Is there a hard limit on structural integrity on pc?

[Sukotto82]

I'm playing on Xbox and it's the classic 7d2d not the new console edition coming out soon and I've ran into something while building a bridge over water and wanted to know if this is limited to the old Xbox version of the game or if it's in all versions of the game.

The thing is a hard limit of 15 blocks, 14 if you want to stand on the end, regardless of mass and max load.

I should be able to build out 23 to 26 blocks without a support based on the math calculation of mass to max load capacity.

Based on mass to max load ratio you should be able to build out starting from a metal support/foundation 10 metal blocks 8 stone blocks and 8 wood blocks all without going beyond the 320 max load of the metal support while still keeping everything from stone and beyond within the 120 limit and wood within it's 40 limit but no matter how you mix and match their seems to be a hard limit of 14/15 blocks from support regardless of max load.

Does anyone know about this and is it in all versions or just the old Xbox one?

There is a limit of 15 blocks also on PC, even if it could support more weight. Well, I haven't tested on 1.0 but I assume that hasn't changed.

Gravity is in game, so yes & it's normal that there is/was limited...

Actually with version PC, it's the same but that was change a little...

Before in old time, so actually with the version console that you have, we could build a bridge whatever the material used between them, example for the bridge (& not the support), we can do something like 3 wood, 4 scrap iron, 5 cobble, 1 ciment ect...

Now if you do the same, the bridge will fall after the 3th wood block even if you respect the limit ! Why ? Because now the mass of each material count between them... So all block in scrap iron, cobble, ciment have a weight more than the wood, so that will fall like in real life...

If not, actually on PC for players beginners, it's a little better more easy to build base or whatever because we can see a frame colour on the block before to place it, green is oky, pink that can fall, red that will fall...

For you bridge, you should can do like +20 blocks without support on middle but for that, you need to start at the first support with 10 blocks, then finnish the bridge from the second support...

Thanks.

As for my bridge I can build with 28 blocks between support pillars I just need to do 14 from each direction but would need support across full length of bridge.

If I do less pillars I'd just need to make the span between them shorter distance.

There is a "bridge" block in the cheat menu if that's on but I have that off in this particular save.

It would be nice to be able to craft the bridge blocks though.

Hopefully you can in the 1.0 or perhaps in the near future.

Going to play new console version for a bit in a couple days after it's released but I'll likely still come back to the old version unless they changed a few things that bothered me back when I was playing on pc.

I may undersand not well what you said (my english is bad), but with 28 blocks, you just need 2 supports & none on middle because the limit is 14 but if both side are stick to a support pillar.
So you can have a long bridge of 24 blocks or maybe reduce to 22 blocks for security purposes & with a thickness of 2 blocks mini...

You said that you played it on PC, so you have 7DTD on PC too ?
If yes, did you know that you can play the old version on PC ?

But that will not be really the same version but that will be better because the version console is a average mix between version alpha 13/14/15.
So you can start by try alpha 13 to 15 to choose the good version for you...
Even alpha 16 who was th better of this generation version alpha in this old time...

I think I messed up the quote cut but yes I have played it on pc but I no longer have that pc.

I just got a new pc today and just now setting it up but it's not a great pc but better than nothing.

As for playing the old version on pc..
Yeah you can pretty much choose whatever update you want to play.
That's one of the many advantages of playing on pc compared to consoles.
