Train bridges
hi there.
i have tried litterly everything i can to make it possible to build a train over the water way.
No matter what i try smallest water way highers walls with hills ect. the train places supports on the waterway disabling placement.
Anyone any idea how to bypass it. since it otherwise prevents me from using trains altogether on a water map

Tunnels doesnt go through water sadly

If you go a depth of -60 or -90 (feet) it lets me tunnel through water. Make sure it is at that depth before it gets to the edge of the water; the tunnel cannot start too close.

i tried that but it states im overlapping the waterway even when going underneath

Same here. I even try it on an older city ( few days back) with amazing bridges and now I can't place a new one... It keeps the pillars close together and doesn't make a gap wide enough.

Out of my head: Bridges over waterways needs 37,5 mtrs for ships to pass under, but the fancy bridge you can unlock needs only 35 mtrs in my experiences. Problem is that you can't build higher then 50 mtrs I guess, so there is not a lot of space.

Maybe higher level terrain?

Tunnels work, you just need to consider the slope and start long distance away. Build from one shore to the middle of the ship canal and then from there to other shore.

Bridge works as well. Granted, 1 pillar will be bang in the middle of a shipping route, but ships don't collide to it, they go through the openings on both sides of this central pillar.

II think that if something works well, it shouldn't be removed. The railway bridges were finicky but they worked, now they don't.

Maybe see where it wants to place a pillar and then terraform a foundation there?

Railway bridges work fine, railway bridges over seaways don't work anymore. Always a pillar , no matter how tall or terraformed. This worked before, it doesn´t anymore.

But that pillar doesn't matter. So what is the issue? Ships don't collide into it, they go through the opening so...?

What?
I can't either place the bridge with the seaway, nor place the seaway with the bridge in place.
I don't get your point.
If I can't even place a bridge...
The game doesn't let me place because of "colliding objects"...
And yes, I have tried to start the brige at a distance, with maximum heigh, with and without parallel, in open space, blank map, several cities built a few days before WITH RAILWAY BRIDGES WITH A WIDE GAP WITHOUT PILLARS OVER SEAWAYS, and now I simply can't replicate it because of colliding objects.

Build it high enough. (over 40m) And it's just elevated rail, not really a bridge. It goes easily over the seaway.

Then I guess I have a bug of some sort.
If I have tried everything in several maps, including cities where I had everything working fine before, it strikes as odd, doesn't it?
