− | Care should be taken when choosing materials for bridges that will be exposed to [[fire]] or [[magma]]. Bridges built with non-[[magma-safe]] materials will heat up and eventually melt if the center tiles get covered in magma or exposed to fire, whether the bridge is raised, lowered, or even retracted. The ability of a bridge to withstand heat is limited by the ''least'' fire-resistant item involved - a single not-magmaproof building block or mechanism will cause the whole bridge to deconstruct when exposed to sufficient heat.

[[Dragon]]fire is so hot that it can destroy bridges made of almost any material, but a bridge made of [[adamantine]] can sustain dragonfire for extended periods of time before it melts. |
