[RF] Basic Bridges [b18]

Description

B19 VERSION (under the new name "Advanced Bridges") AVAILABLE HERE: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1514984984

"Basic Bridges," as the name so subtly suggests, allows you to build bridges. (Well, technically, you could also create piers or even a boardwalk. It's really up to you.) No special research is required. All you need is wood, stone or metal. And a bit of steel for reinforcement if you're building over deep water.

All bridges support light construction, so you can, for example, use a bridge to run a power conduit across a river. Additionally, heavy bridges (those built from stone or metal instead of from wood, which require research) will support heavy construction, so you can actually place walls on them.

- Rainbeau Flambe (dburgdorf)

=====

Compatibility:

"Basic Bridges" can safely be added to a game in progress, but if you try to remove it from a game in which you've actually built any bridges, you will of course make the map unplayable.

The mod is compatible with "Nature's Pretty Sweet," though to be sure everything works correctly, you'll want to make sure that NPS is *above* "Basic Bridges" in your mod list.

If you want to be able to catch fish from your bridges, you'll need to utilize an additional mod to add that capability. Obviously, I'd suggest my own "Fishing," which is specifically designed as an add-on for this mod.

"Basic Bridges" shouldn't conflict with any other mods.

=====

Credits:

The code in "Basic Bridges" borrows a bit from Sulusdacor's "[sd] Bridges" mod. And obviously, the mods are very similar on a conceptual level. I just decided that I wanted a simpler bridges mod, that would be fully compatible with my "Fertile Fields" mod.

The traditional Chinese language files were provided by Steam user Alane. The simplified Chinese language translation files were provided by Steam user kghostSATORI. The Japanese language files were provided by Proxyer.

=====

License:

If you're a modpack maker and want to include "Basic Bridges" in your pack, or if you're a modder and want to use it as the basis of a derivative mod, please feel free to do so. I ask only that you let me know about it.

=====

The Ludeon forums discussion thread for my mods can be found here[ludeon.com].

If you have any (helpful) suggestions for improvement, please let me know!

My mods are free, but if you'd like to buy me a Dr Pepper[ko-fi.com], I wouldn't complain.

Since several have asked me, I figured, what the hell. This mod's been updated (and I changed the name to "Advanced Bridges," since the vanilla game now offers basic bridges of its own): https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1514984984

welcome back Sir!

@Rainbeau: I'm glad that you are doing well. I appreciate that you are willing to continue supporting your mod(s). It's a lot of work, but yours really are some of the absolute best out there. Best wishes to you!

Good for you, I'm glad that things are working out for you now...

yeah i would love an update to your fishing mod

@Rowan: I'm doing quite well, actually. Biggest change in my life is that my wife and I finally separated back in June. (Long time coming; mostly amicable; I was the primary instigator.) I'm discovering that I quite enjoy living alone with my cats. Even if I *did* stress about the modding, my overall stress level would still probably be lower than it's been in a long time. :)

@Enlonwhite: As I said, I'll take a look at what's in vanilla now, and work from there. (I haven't yet even looked at anything to do with B19.) But I'll likely update "Fishing" as an independent mod, even if I don't do anything more with this one.

But your bridges didnt burn.....unless wooden, and they looked better. Plus your fishing mod was better then others i have seen.

@Rainbeau Flambe Excellent. Good to hear you're okay. And don't stress about the modding, it's just a bunch of us nerds on the internet irrationally demanding a product for free. You'll get to it when you get to it.

Yeah, I'm OK. Just been having a hell of a time trying to motivate myself to get back to modding. Been away too long, and too busy with other things now. :) I'll take a look at the bridges that are now in the vanilla game soon (maybe this weekend), though, and decide whether or not to update this.

Is Rainbeau okay? I subscribe to several of their mods, and they haven't so much as commented on *any* of them in months. Is anyone able to contact them?
