[ask]Some questions about ship and bridge

[a-lazy-guy]

How high does my bridge have to be built to allow the ship to pass? Or can't the ship pass under the bridge?

[Naufhal]

Sorry. I Don't Know. What do you Said?

[a-lazy-guy]

Sorry. I Don't Know. What do you Said?

In my experience--- about 3 months playing the game ---

--- the cargo ships at your harbor wander around in frount of the harbor looking busy , BUT NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE anyway.

--- the only two bridge types I have used are the default bridge in the game that automatically builds when you build a road across a river , and the player made - plugin London Tower
Bridge.

Both , as far as I know , can only be built 2 high.

--- player made cargo ship plugins --- I don't have any , so I wouldn't know.

-- most military ship plugins are static decorations, they don' t move anyway.

--- Themax's Coast Gaurd plugin , unfortunately I haven't sat and methodically watched where those boats go , or don't go.
So I don't know.

--- the player made - plugin tourist ferries DO go under my 2 high bridges all the time.

As also the little sailing boats from Marinas.

Hope that helps.

You mean the cargo ships can pass a bridge that is 2 blocks high, right?

Yes , correct.

Tourist ferries and Marina sailboats certainly do go under a bridge two blocks high.

As I said , the only two bridge types I have built have to be built two blocks high.

In the town where I have bridges , there are ONLY Marina docks and Tourist Ferry docks on ONE side of the bridge, with no other possible way for the Marina boats or Ferry boats to get around the bridge to the other side.

Never the less, sailboats and Tourist ferries wind up on the other side of the bridge.

So they must be going under the two block high bridge.

Ugh ! You said CARGO ships.

The cargo ships that automatically spawn when you build a harbor never go anywhere.

( I HAVE sat and watched them. )

As I said , they wander around in frount of the harbor looking busy ,

But that is it.

I have NEVER seen them sail from one side of the map to the other side.

If one of those ships wanders more than ten tiles -- at most -- from the harbor they disappear from the map.

Some elements of the game are representational , not strictly realistic.

The cargo ships that automatically spawn when you build a harbor may not really go anywhere , but clearly that does NOT mean your harbor isn't working.

I wound up having to build a road 6 lanes wide to prevent traffic jams solely from the number of trucks traveling back and forth from my factories / my industrial zone to the harbor.

I really doubt my factories would be sending so many trucks to my harbor if my harbor wasn't working.

Oh, I see, thanks. I fantasize about seeing cargo ships sailing freely.

[Wincass71]

Like I said , sail boats and motor boats from the Marinas seem to sail all over the place.

And the ferry boats from the player - made plugin , " Tourist Ferry " sail around all over the place . ( and under and past bridges ).

But player - made CARGO ship plugins ?

I wouldn't know , because I have never downloaded any.

Harbor - spawned cargo ships MIGHT sail a lot farther if you laid down a line of bouys ???

But I have never used bouys.

I like answering questions and showing off ,

But I wish more people would answer these questions .

Not everybody explores every aspect of the game , so no doubt different folks know different stuff.

At least your thread is getting bumped in case somebody comes along who knows better than me.
