Ship won´t pass under bridge

[MrKrabs]

Hello Comrades,

I have two bridges over a large river.
A shipping line, which was running fine for a couple of years gives me a headache now.
Here is ascreenshot with the stats of the vessel and the details of the line.

Anything behind the bridge is not reachable for this vessel.
Demolishing the bridges makes the vessel move.
The line was running ok for years.

Anybody can help me out here?

Kind regards.

The Lubbenau is running nice and dandy.
But the OBC guy comes with the question mark.

I would guess that the ship is too tall (looks about 7 meters higher than the Lubbenau). What does the measurement tool say for the height of the bridges?

[MrKrabs]

I will doublecheck.
However I don´t know how to make the bridge any higher.
Maybe with this arch mod.
Anyway, I will measure and get back.

It look to me the ship is to high and both bridges is too short. In the first picture, I see 23 m and 39 m. I am assuming the ship height is 39 m.

So the solution ( you may not like it ) : To raise the land of both end of both bridge to 45 m or above. And build a road bridge and a rail bridge.

Realistic mode : Use a few excavators and bulldozer for raising a hill and flat the hill a bit and measure the hill and make sure it will pass the 45 m mark. ( use 48 m to be sure ) The extra is the bridge itself. Than smoth out the hill on both side for a nice slope for the road and the rail. Place roads, rails and bridges. Double check the height. Next is construction. It will be a long process. And I hope you got a lots of steels. It will be expensive. A CO have to be near by and a passager transfer point also near by for the need of workers.

I just look at the last picture. Both ends of the bridges is rocky. On the right, you have a "town", so check the height using the measure tool. If that is more than 45 m, than no change , but the rail tunnel look low, so you may need to destroy it and build a rail across that small town. The left side will be "easier" but the rocks will make the excavators / bulldozers very hard and long to raise that small island / point.

Here are my measurements.

Looks like U guys are right.
The ship is, indeed, 39 meters. I was wondering how to make bridges higher,
This was the maximum what the game gave me.
And if I would raise the ground to much than there would be an ugly gap between the posts and the water.

I built the bridge in cosmonaut befor.
Than I had huzzles and I spent almost 2 billion in autobuild.
Now the sh!tshow starts again.
I know that the mistake is sitting in front of the screen.
But sometimes it hurts.

So I will try to get something new .... myooow... this will take a while.

There is this arch mod which is under monuments. Do ships pass underneth there?

[Silent_Shadow]

Uh, you know you can just select the measurement tool and mouse over the bridge pillars right?

When I just did the last picture i have seen that and was wondering.
Thanks.
I will plop it on there and make another shot.

[MrKrabs]

Darnet,

looks like to low according the math and the measurement.

But why was it working?
Or am I that badly misstaking?

The only way to know would be to build it and see if the game allows the ship to path under it. I would also check the height of the bridge too.

[MrKrabs]

I will figure something and show you.
But not tonight.

Thanks for your help guys.
Much apprechiated.

If only we had drawbridges...

[Silent_Shadow]

Add it to the list comrade...

The cheaper solution is to buy a ship that is no more than 35 m in height. The current ship is 39 m

or

You rebuild both bridges.

By looking at it. The lowest pillar is 36 m and the other is 37 m. So rebuilding for just an extra 5 m is ridiculous. Check for mods ships that will do the same job but may carry less. You need 35 m or lower.

[MrKrabs]

I rebuilt the beast. Testing now.
