Issue description

For some reason a particular piece of a bridge is not being built - even though I have resources available for it. trucks do not drive to the part (even with urgent priority) I also have 100 unity and using the unity tool says (not enough resources)
The other bridge parts built fine. I even removed the ghost and replaced. still nothing. It is not in planning mode.

Track priorities are healthy - maybe I am missing something obvious?

Thanks for the Game - Really great so far!

@TrevorCash [github] do you have amphibious vehicles, as normal ones can't build out over water, you need a anphibious truck that can reach the pillar that's in the water.

Issue description

I have the same issue, but it's after a partial completion, so there are no errors with the work oder etc. I've also found if i pause construction for a while and then do a partial de-construct and restart it can bump it into starting to work correctly again. Possbile pathing error as my map is showing vehicles "very busy" despite many of them without jobs?

I've solved my problem, it's that amphibious vehicles (by default) can't take construction jobs not over water, once the bridge reaches that length it's for some reason no longer considered over water.

The other problem is that the current system needs land access from both ends of the bridge and all the pillars/sections, so you can't build towards a steep cliff without having built some sort of ramp to allow construction access from that side.

I think there are going to be a lot of people caught up with the intricacies of how bridge buildig works. It could do with some simplifcation steps by the devs if possible. The obvious solution in my mind would be to allow standard construction vehicles to use partially completed bridges and be able to build out from them spo they can always reach the next section.

Yeah I did have some amphibious trucks free. At the time I only had 3 though - will try again will more to be sure

The Bridges Build once you have amphibious trucks and resources. I was just suprized by the regular trucks not driving up/on to the nearest accessable one. Also a little suprized the Unity tool doesnt work with it. (even with unity, materials and amphibious trucks)
