BRIDGE SPACE REQUIREMENTS GUIDE

bump + if anyone with a diagonal bridge wants to help, they can try placing a pwp nearby and try to define the normal extra space! because i don't even know how big that is to begin with.
 
I tried and my bridge can be build. :)

I also tried it near the campsite where the old bridge was and this is what I found. On the east side of the campsite are 4 free squares until you hit the water. A bridge can't be build there due to the campsite. On the north side, and on the west side, there are 5 free squares until you hit water. A bridge can be build in both places. (that's horizontal and vertical)

ah that's great to hear!

sounds like my guide's correct on those points too! pfew!! thanks for sharing :>
 
This makes no sense to me: I can build a bridge behind my house, vertical, where there's only one tile of buffer between my house and the river.... but I can't build one off the path that passes in front of my house, even though I've got 4 tiles of clearance between the front of my house, and what would be the bridge. Granted, my house is only 3 in from the edge of the river... but I don't see how the buffer zones could possibly still be overlapping so much. Can't post a pic at the moment.

hmm yes this conflicts with my guide... awaiting your pictures!
 
Thank you for this helpful guide! It's nice to know where bridges can and cannot go.

This way, I know I can't put one near Felicity's house, and don't have to go through the whole disappointment and argument with Isabelle.

Much appreciated! :)

ah i'm glad i could help you! don't rely to much on this guide though, so far i'm the only contributor of it so it's all kind of shaky!

This was needed. Thank you! :D

you're welcome :>
 
Nice guide, although I've had all my bridges built since Week 1 xD

I hated my first town layout....even with bridges it was STILL a chore to get around to everyone's houses.
 
Thank you for this! It will definitely help with the planning of my new town.

you're very welcome :>

Wow so that would mean I do need kitt to move :( ughrrrr

ah, that's sucks :< is it a horizontal bridge?

yeah, i think a lot of people built their bridges pretty quickly (me too) but that's also the problem for many, you have to be careful when you want to demolish and rebuild a bridge when you're town is more developed then when you first placed the original bridge.
 
Hi~ I just realized my situation right now is related to this so I looked this thread up. I think I understand this, but I want to be extra sure in case I am counting the space wrong.

As you can see, Bill is right on top of a bridge of mine. It's not an original bridge, obvs, but I rebuilt it when Bill wasn't there yet.

If I'm correct in counting, this would be too close for a renovation, wouldn't it? If I wanted to rebuild this bridge in the same location, it would be a no-go because Bill's extra space is overlapping with the required bridge space, right?

But what if I moved a little to the right? Right in the middle of Bill and Mira, right in front of the tree, will that work? Or is it too risky? My counting says it could work if I were completely precise, but I might be wrong.

If you need more screenshots, I can provide. O: I'm not good at graphs, so sorry if I can't provide one. ; A;

Sorry for the bother, and thanks for this thread! Good thing I looked it up before demolishing that bridge.

hi allcaps!

yes, if you'd use the rules in my guide it wouldn't work on the same spot but it would one or two tiles to the right! although i must add, the vertical bridge part of the guide is based off assumptions, so be careful! it's up to you if you want to take the risk. please let me know the results if you decide to do it, because it could help a lot of others too! i'll add it to the guide :> thank you for sharing this!

Hmm, I might try it once I've planned a back-up bridge location in case this one doesn't pan out. I'm still trying to decide on the bridge I'll replace it with too.

Wish me luck and I'll update if ever!

Thanks so much for your answer! :3

oh allcaps, wait a second, i think the bridge can be placed on the same spot again according to my guide! i was confused because of the path i think? the bridge would only need a space of 2 by 4, and bill's house is 4 spaces up, his extra space in the front goes down till two tiles are left, which is all you need for the bridge!
