v0.31 Talk:Bridge

I can verify that drawbridges still won't raise when a Titan is on them. ^v31.01 --Akhiros 07:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I just noticed the statement, "It is impossible to channel out stone that is directly under a raiseable bridge when its in the raised position." I don't think it is a bug, but an implementation choice. --PencilinHand 13:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

The same thing happens with any other building or workshop - it just won't let you place the designation. If you try to ramp from underneath, the floor won't be removed simply because the building was present, whether the "building" was a bridge (even if raised or retracted), a workshop, or even a stockpile. --Quietust 14:57, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Does the "wall" created by raising a bridge block liquids? --Telarin 19:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes. I've used them before to seal elves into my depot before flooding it. --Kyle Solo 15:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, can the bridge be destroyed by a building destroyer when raised? --Telarin

I don't know, but if my current fort is any indication, building destroyers do not appear to destroy lowered drawbridges that block their path, such as one covering a set of ramps leading into one's fortress. I've got all 3 cavern levels sealed this way, and nothing has yet gotten inside, including several forgotten beasts. --Quietust 20:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean by "a wall along the edge selected with the wadx keys when placing the bridge"? I don't see any shortcuts when placing the bridge... are they just hidden or what? DF 31.10 Manslay 07:27, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Wait, nevermind, BEFORE placing the bridge :/ Manslay 07:29, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Heat Sensitivity

I have reason to believe that only the center tile of a bridge is sensitive to heat (when dealing with exposure to magma) - this is mostly based on the fact that if you use d-b-[whatever] to mass forbid/melt/dump/hide the components of a bridge, it only responds to the center tile which affects every single component. --Quietust 19:35, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

What counts as the center tile if your bridge has an even number of tiles? (say, a 4x4 bridge)--Twilightdusk 04:06, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
