@accudentalparadox:
Is there some reason you haven't? Cause no one would object ;p

@rhythm7321 Thank you very much!!!
accidentalparadox Mar 7, 2020 @ 7:29am 
@rythm7321, this was B19 version, Ice removal and water-gazing was not there yet. @Mod authors: this is not hard. fuck me if I have to github this for y'all.
Aleks Mar 4, 2020 @ 4:09am 
@rhythm7321 how do I download a non steam version?

Desperately need an update for 1.1 I can't live without this mod
Demonlord09 Feb 28, 2020 @ 8:40pm 
Needs an update for the 1.1 version of the game and the DLC.
ILostMyCheeseginityinKenosha Feb 24, 2020 @ 5:56pm 
Any plans to update to 1.1?

Kind of wish we will be able to place floors on the bridge from your Fertile Fields Mod.
BlueHawk89 Nov 12, 2019 @ 5:07pm 
Would you mind adding drawbridges?
Gmgaraz Oct 14, 2019 @ 8:36am 
@Hu Flung Dung you can hide pipes in the mod settings.
Hu Flung Dung Oct 13, 2019 @ 3:41pm 
Would be nice if the bridges covered dubs bad hygiene's plumbing pipes.
lilwhitemouse Sep 21, 2019 @ 10:05pm 
What I said below is a difference?
Vazzaroth Sep 21, 2019 @ 4:58pm 
I still don't understand the difference here with the new vanilla bridges? I used to use this back before they were added but it seems like the new vanillas do the same thing?
Mistletoe The Bard Aug 30, 2019 @ 8:23pm 
@Ninja Kitten @Domnithicus Same, really wish there are a mod out there allow us to build floors on the bridge. To be fair, [SD]Bridge actually allow us to build floors on the bridge. At least, when you mouse over the platform it says it's a that kind of floor type, however it doesn't change the visual look of the bridge for some reason... It seems like the floor is built under the bridge. I use other mod and built soil under the platform, and my corns are just growing on a bridge now.....

Looking for a bridge mod with stone and metal bridges that won't burn (because for some reason my swamp is very flammable and thus needs fire breaks) does anyone know if this fits?
gnomebeater Aug 25, 2019 @ 8:39am 
Im also looking for the same kind of mod just like the person below me V
Eclipse Jun 19, 2019 @ 12:13pm 
Are those bridges floorable?
Flesh Forge Apr 16, 2019 @ 12:34pm 
I still wish you'd add a 'platform' construction, basically a heavy buildable terrain that can be built in one operation. It's fine to build on bridges but it's a little bit annoying to click and have it select individual bridge tiles. With your concrete mod you already accept the idea of poured concrete walls, how about poured concrete platforms too.
lilwhitemouse Feb 22, 2019 @ 4:55pm 
So vanilla bridges can support Medium structures by default, but your mod changes that to Light? Research is required to get bridges that can support Heavy?
kahikateaforest Feb 10, 2019 @ 2:05pm 
I seem to have an issue building walls on top of the heavy boardwalks when build over mud. It says it won't support it. This doesn't seem to be an issue when building walls on the heavey bridge over water. Any idea why this is? The heavy boardwalks seem to be able to be built on over other terrains but not mud, is this intentional?
Luetin Feb 10, 2019 @ 12:14pm 
seriously thank you for updating these so clearly heavily appreciated
Harvillain Jan 25, 2019 @ 3:42pm 
Is there anyway to change the research level from industrial to medieval? I want to build into the river, which is pretty medieval if not time consuming. I'm playing with tech advancing and Medieval Times so that would be really neat. Didn't see any options in mod settings
"The" SeanMacLeod Jan 18, 2019 @ 4:51pm 
Maybe a handcranked winch to raise/lower it in the event of a lack of electricity....
[TG-12th] Shiner Jan 18, 2019 @ 1:13pm 
Very cool mod. Have you considered making a drawbridge? Power + switch that would toggle the bridge tiles back to impassable for pawns?
Thomas Jan 4, 2019 @ 3:20am 
...the mod's bridges were made non-destructable to stop them from being "raider magnets" that undermined raid AI.

Would it be possible to add an option to make the bridges destructible again? Turning bridges into unclaimed items could maybe prevent raiders from attacking them as they do not belong to the player, like the walls on a map that are generated at the start of a game. I'm asking this because I'm defending certain chokepoints behind a river but I want my pawns to be able to cross the river at other spots as well (using bridges). However, I do not want raiders to use these bridges, so I would put IED's on them so that they explode when raiders use them. This will force the raiders to find another route that uses my well defended chokepoints.
YeeNilley Dec 26, 2018 @ 12:55pm 
@Rainbeau Flambe understood. So still no solution for flooring ontop of bridges. Too bad
E-Claire  [author] Dec 26, 2018 @ 12:51pm 
@YeeNilley: That's because, for technical reasons, the terrain under bridges and boardwalks is not the base vanilla terrain. (That's why boardwalks and bridges will support construction the underlying terrain might not, and why movement speeds on bridges and boardwalks are often faster than on the underlying terrain.) So yes, you can build floors or carpets under boardwalks, even when you couldn't have built them on the terrain that existed without the boardwalk. But nonetheless, floors or carpets are still built *under* structures, and that can't be altered.
YeeNilley Dec 26, 2018 @ 12:46pm 
@Rainbeau Flambe ive been trying to build carpets but because im in marshy areas I cant build carpets on marshy soil. And I cant build them ontop of bridges because it isn't heavy support. So I have been trying to find a solution for this. When I built a boardwalk my people were then able to build a carpet in the space the boardwalk occupied when it wasn't able to before.
E-Claire  [author] Dec 26, 2018 @ 9:22am 
@YeeNilley: I'm not quite sure what you're referring to when you say you like the ability to build floors on boardwalks, because you *can't* build floors on boardwalks. It's never been possible. Boardwalks and bridges in this mod are structures, which will always display above floors, carpets or other terrain. What you're describing -- being able to build carpets but not see them -- isn't a bug, but rather, is exactly the behavior you *should* be seeing, as what you're actually doing is building carpets *under* the boardwalks. There's nothing to be "fixed."
YeeNilley Dec 26, 2018 @ 8:32am 
There seems to be a visual glitch with the mod with the wooden boardwalks. I really like the ability to be able to build floors on the boardwalks, its the main reason I downloaded the mod since my colony is near marshes but I still want carpets. My people will build carpet on the boardwalk and the beauty tool sees the carpet but the carpet doesn't visually show up. Minor OCD thing, maybe it can be fixed?
Slothcat Dec 10, 2018 @ 4:57am 
What do you do when the devs implement your orignal mod into the game? Make a new mod that makes them even better!
Kenny Dave Dec 9, 2018 @ 3:57am 
@Rainbeau I get the pseudo bridge tiles (under bridge) even if I deconstruct properly. I can just set the terrain back to normal to allow me to build something else on it. I've only done it with the vanilla bridges I think, when I'm upgrading to advanced bridge.

Another little one, maybe this maybe not: if I build a door, then a boardwalk under it, the pawns deconstruct the door.

Thanks for the mod, it's lovely :)
Firelight Dec 4, 2018 @ 1:34am 
Can you add sterile variants of each bridge? Without being able to place floors on bridges, it's impossible to make a good medical ward on them.
E-Claire  [author] Nov 25, 2018 @ 2:39pm 
@MightNight: I did originally disable vanilla bridges, but changed that very quickly to the current system where vanilla bridges just have the same restrictions as the mod's bridges, as it allows for better compatibility. And in any event, there's really no need to actually disable the vanilla bridges, as anyone who doesn't want to use them is under no obligation to build them. ;)
MightNight Nov 25, 2018 @ 1:47pm 
Any chance you could add an option to "disable" vanilla bridges? Yours look waaay prettier
E-Claire  [author] Nov 19, 2018 @ 3:46pm 
@Snowmech: Sadly, it's not even just a question of whether I'd "like" to do it; it simply wouldn't be possible. Floor graphics are single large images; think of each tile of a floor as showing a "piece" of the overall graphic image. That's great for creating large floors that don't have obvious repeating patterns, but it makes it impossible for floors to have edges that differ from the base design. The mod's bridges, on the other hand, are buildings that utilize the same sort of graphic "atlas" that walls use, which is why they do have defined edges, and why those edges change when the structure of the bridge is changed. (The difference in how the graphics work was actually a significant factor in why I decided to create the bridges as buildings rather than as floors in the first place.) So there's really no way that a floor graphic could be made to duplicate the look of the bridges.
Snowmech Nov 19, 2018 @ 3:02pm 
Ok, thank you. It is a shame though, your bridge tiles do look awesome. Thank you again.
E-Claire  [author] Nov 18, 2018 @ 7:07pm 
@Snowmech: You can eliminate the weirdness between boardwalk tiles and floor tiles simply by building floors beneath the boardwalk tiles along the edge. But no, I have no plans to create floor tiles that look like the boardwalks or bridges.
Snowmech Nov 18, 2018 @ 6:59pm 
Any chance you can make som efloor tiles to go woth your bridges. Building on beach sand is very annoying because of this bleed effect of the sand and or water, between your bridges and any flooring. I would really like to have nice, continuous look to my floors.... and your bridges look great as floors, so having htem as floors anywhere would be great.
E-Claire  [author] Nov 11, 2018 @ 1:15pm 
UPDATE:

- Made a few adjustments to allow bridges to be properly constructed over frozen water tiles from my "Permafrost" mod.

- A watergazing spot will now be destroyed if the tile on which it's placed dries up.
Rhunin Nov 7, 2018 @ 7:41am 
haha i could imagine that, but it would essentially just be a high HP, flame immune Fence, as they dont support rooves but stop movement (however it might not be that easy as i ithink they allow shots over/through them)
E-Claire  [author] Nov 7, 2018 @ 7:38am 
No, bridges can't be burned out from under walls. In fact, even wooden bridges in the mod can't be burned. It's not realistic, but the mod's bridges were made non-destructable back in b18 to stop them from being "raider magnets" that undermined raid AI.

And if I were actually to introduce walls that don't support roofs.... Oh, my god, I can only imagine the constant stream of bug reports I'd have to deal with about the mod's walls being "broken." ;)
Rhunin Nov 7, 2018 @ 7:29am 
making these more defensive walls than building walls (i havent gotten that far with them but cant the bridges be burned from under the walls on top of them?) and i also had the idea to make it so the "embrasure-esque" dams didnt support ceiling or let pawns shoot through them, simply be a invader blocker and nothing more but could be given functionality by being cheaper than bridge + wall and their nerf of not allowing different variants or attachment onto a building to provide indoor status
