Crank Bridges

Post by DragonPox90210 »

I don't like having to go around large bodies of water on my trains so it would be cool to add crank bridges. They'd be like draw bridges but could be activated by some sort of electric signal. They would have to have a limited range, so far I haven't seen any islands so the idea of isolating yourself using a bridge to keep out creepers isn't a problem. Anyway I would just like train add-ons, love the game :)

Islands ARE a possibility. I've been stranded on one at game generation before :)
But yes, bridges would be nice, and they are coming (eventually, I believe lol).

The idea of isolation yourself on an island probably wouldn't work well though, since there would be limited resources :)

This would be a good idea if you could also create rivers. Create a giant moat, and when trains are going across, the crank bridge extends, the train runs over any aliens in the way, and retracts!
