When looking at pictures of real bridges, I found out that triangular designs are actually used quite extensively in reality, and thus I tried my best to implement them here in the game. The one real construction tip that it gives you is to use triangles. Distributing weight evenly across the bridge is the key to keeping it together.īridge Constructor does give you a few prompts in the beginning for introduction purposes, but you’re really left to your imagination when it comes to designing each bridge. When stressed to the max, these pieces will collapse, which results in you failing to finish the level. As you place each piece of your bridge, stress points will form. You get bonus points if heavier vehicles can make it across. There are two types of vehicles: normal and heavy. The goal isn’t just to build a bridge, but to build one that can stand upright on its own and support the weight of vehicles. Speaking of weight and balance, those really are the two main things you have to take into account with each bridge. Towers can also be made out of wood and steel, but concrete is far sturdier and won’t tip over due to weight and balance. Concrete is used to construct towers that can then be attached to the bridge via the metal cables. For instance, I built one bridge almost entirely out of wood and used just a few pieces of steel for the support beams.
The trick with some bridges is to use both, but with the catch of figuring out exactly how they best fit together. Steel is a lot stronger and a single piece can be longer than that of wood, though it’s far more expensive. Wood is the cheapest but is also the most fragile. Wood and steel are the main materials you’ll be using. That budget is determined by how much material you use, and there are four different types to make use of: wood, steel, concrete, and metal cables.
