In fact, most good Pontifex bridges have some cables in them. You'll notice that a bridge doesn't necessarily have to be built completely of steel. Check whether your bridge has any beams that turn blue as the train passes, without any shades of red (red is compression). The stress display color for tension is blue by default. The only problem with cables is that they can only withstand tension (or 'pull'), not compression ('push'). Always use cable if you can - it's the cheapest material and its unlimited length make it incredibly versatile. Learn to use the advantages of the different steel types.Ģ. On the other hand, sometimes you can replace a huge heap of light steel with just one heavy steel beam - because of it's tremendous stability. Obviuosly, since heavy steel is extremely expensive, always try to replace it with light steel (even if you need up to 3x as much light steel for the replacement structure!), you'll save lots of money. The material strength doubles on each step: light steel -> deck -> cable -> heavy steel.ġ. For a 8 HD grid unit piece, they are as follows:ĭeck: $1250 (normally, symmetry doubles this to $2500) Having trouble building a certain bridge with the given budget? Let's take a look at the different material prices and strengths. Switch planes with the R and F keys, make use of the center plane!
