Default tram bridge construction trick
Posted: 25 Jul 2022, 04:21
Want to throw a bridge over a road for your tram , so that traffic on the road does not have to stop for the tram , and the tram does not have to stop for road traffic , but the tram plugin does not include a bridge ?
You may have noticed that when you lay the default road in the game across a body of water , the road automatically builds a bridge across the water.
This also works at least for some player - made tram plugins !
Pause the game , use the bulldozer to demolish the road tile you want the bridge to cross , and bulldoze one tile each , each side of that road tile.
Now go to terrain , and put a water tile on the demolished road tile , and the two tiles either side of it.
Now lay your tram over the water.
It will automatically build a tram bridge.
Now go back and replace the water tile with a road tile.
You now have your tram crossing the road over a bridge.
There are probably other ways to accomplish this , but this is one trick for doing it that I have discovered.
