Longer bridges

[Nolifedk]

Hi

I am not sure, if this has allready been requested.. Liquid bridge, Gas bridge and wire bridge etc. need to be able to be extended, pls! Or even better - extendable, so one can drag them into desired lengh..

What happens when bridges cross each other?

Don't cross the streams! It could be bad.

In all seriousness though, I do like this suggestion. Crossing extendable bridges would function exactly like crossed bridges currently, they would not interact. I get tired of cutting multiple lanes of ventilation pipes to bridge through a new perpendicular pipeline, and temporarily cutting off critical functions such as generator exhausts and O2 supply.

I also would like to see longer bridges, and I would assume two bridges crossing would be treated the same as it currently is.

I'd like to be able to drag a bridge into a desired lengh - imo pipes/bridges should be able to stack once, not more.

You can already cross bridges. Nothing special happens, they all work as intended.

Yeah, I'd like longer bridges too. Or a special build command where dupes would replace part of a pipe with a bridge without losing the contents or stopping the flow.

I have suggested this a long time ago, too.

The only reason I found by then to perhaps avoid adding them to the game was their thermal interaction. A longer bridge would interface with four or more tiles at once, reaching through walls. But I guess with tempshift plates interfacing with five tiles at once that's not such a big deal.
