DNsingbanana Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The problem is : normal pipes are "backgroud" objects that can as such be places behind things while bridges are not. You need the 3 blocks free from any foreground object, so delete the ladder. I think it's intended to be that way, because it visally passes by the foreground, but yeah it's not convenient at all.

Well, one could argue that the game is in 3D, so you can have background (pipes), normal (ladder) and foreground (the part that goes over the ladder with the bridge).

Well yeah it sure id weird that you seem to have the depth to stack wires, liquid and gas pipes all at once but if there's a ladder and a pipe bridge suddenly OHMYGOD NOT ENOUGH SPACE!

TheBlackDragon4 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Maybe they can rework the layering system for that. Like ladders and wires on one layer and pipes and others on another layer or maybe have a new object that allows us to overlap wires and pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaTiK Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Yeah, I get the idea why this work as it is, but still it's very inconvenient, since very often I place pipes through ladders. Ability to place pipe bridges across ladders is a nice feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackDragon4 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 or at least behind the ladder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinton Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I ran into this as well, as I tended to route power and electrical under/next-to ladders. Once I figured it out it "made sense" that it didn't work, but it was very frustrating to work around, given the state of my colony at the time. A related annoyance is that it'd be really handy to be able to swap the in/out ports for larger machinery (like rotation, but different). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatmeal Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 There have been times where I wish there was a vertical version of this bridge. But i agree. Sometimes the way I HAVE to align the pipes is beyond impractical. You would THINK, flipping these machines would be simple seeing as how they literally blast the pieces at the machines. Then again, I just imagine that the tool they are using only has the blueprints for a machine in that one particular position and they were too late to update their firmware... Or something. But yeah. I do hope they add something to fix this little annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
