Footbridges?

Nothing too elaborate - no belts or vehicles allowed, just a one-lane footbridge in case you want to build your base around a lake - without needing to run all the way around the lake to get to the other side of your base.

like the idea. it's really annoying with walking all the way around tiny lakes sometimes. I would also like to see railroad bridges for trains!

I agree with both - I'v gotten to a point that I have so much raw wood ( don't you mean raw wood ? wood is the plank like item) in two maps I'v played - and it's because of asking the robots to clear trees for me... that would be a good use of wood :idea:

Thinking it might also be useful to just have a way to block off portions of the base to be used for foot travel only. If the "footbridges" could work over land too, you could make lanes for quickly getting around without having to dodge machinery 'n such.
