PC The unfixable bridge over Deadman's Gulch

If you can’t fill in the gap, make a ramp

And jump over the gap!  Bridge repair: complete.

 
I think Neebs has read this thread.  lol 

In the past, I've tried to fix it with disastrous results.   I simply gave up out of material hunger.  It's just not worth the time and energy to me anymore.

I also mused that perhaps the devs at the time had a similar issue, and then once it finally settled into its final form the devs were like.. "okay this sucks,

and i don't like it, but I'm on a deadline and it's not like this isn't within genre!"  lol

The devs could have sculpted that part of the gulch to be narrower by four blocks if they ran into a similar issue while "trying" to span the bridge. It was never designed as a full bridge and then scaled back as a partial bridge because it couldn't be done and they had no idea what to do.  It was created as it is right now from the concept drawings before it was even put into the game and I doubt one thought went into whether players would be able to repair it fully without a support column. In the designer's mind the game is not a renovate and restore game-- even though it is fun to renovate and restore. It is definitely one of those things that players want proven by years and years of asking for clean windows and pristine paint but it is also proof that the devs aren't interested in developing that possibility in the game.

I always thought it was hilarious that the whole structural integrity of the roof relied on a cardboard box on a shelf.

Here's something funnier...Had a bad run in with some POI zombies that got me down to single digit health. I survived though due to my quick thinking and skillz.  I then went over to a shower curtain to obtain some cloth and died instantly after striking the lower half of the shower curtain first.

 
ive fixed that bridge a number of times and used it for driving the truck over... without the use  of pillars... or frames to support... although i havent been back to navis in this current alpha.... so i have to presume the physics of the game has been altered somewhat

Well, it's not like the request come from nothing... we had the clean windows that could be even opened already in the game. And then *poof* gone.....

I don’t think the request came from nothing regardless of what we had or didn’t have.  The game started with a lot of stock assets that the developers used as placeholders until they could be switched out for what they wanted to create according to their vision.

I am disappointed in everyone in this thread.  Not a single screenshot of any attempts to rebuild the bridge.  Sounds like a fun challenge....😀

Here you go. But I'm warning you... I overdid the setup of the building yard just a bit too much.
