GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the “GNU GPL” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface provided by the Library.

A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked Version”.

The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified version:

a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.

4. Combined Works.

You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
d) Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version.
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.

You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by side in a single library together with other library facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that published version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the Library.

Summary

Roadworks is a mod aimed at expanding the capabilities of vehicles and transport in the game. Now that the ability to build artificial surfaces is a part of the game, the goal of Roadworks is to compliment this by additional features, such as the addition of bridges.

So far, Roadworks features:
- bridges

Added features

Bridges:
In order to build bridges, you need to research the corresponding technology first. Once that is done, you can construct bridges. Beware, they are quite expensive - each individual piece costs 50 concrete and 10 steel plates, which might not seem like much but adds up very quickly.

Also, be careful when deconstructing bridges - anything present on a bridge when it disappears will sink and be destroyed, including you!

No extra images present yet

Known issues

- Certain graphical glitches occasionally manifest when building bridges on land

Credits

A heartfelt thank you to:
- Hitzu, for creating bridge graphics (modified)

- Wube Software, for making such a great game
- the Factorio community

[Rahjital]

So far the only feature the mod adds is bridges, no other features from previous versions of the game are in. This will eventually change, but I wanted to release the mod sooner due to how popular bridges are.

Also, interest check: Would anyone want me to reintroduce the old "limestone -> quicklime -> concrete" way of producing concrete? This would be an addon separate from the main mod, so that nobody is forced to change their production lines.

Yes More floors are good like Wood and stone and something like that

[hitzu]

Yay!
Awesome news. Thank you, Rahjital.

I ported old roadworks script for faster speed when using fuel if you're interested. I cut all old code that was used for laying path. Might not be the best code ever, but it works and uses low CPU time.

[Xterminator]

On man this is awesome! I can now build a bridge across lakes and out a train on top of it. Will be so epic!

Not sure if this is possible, but what would be really cool is to have the bridge have guard rails when going over water, for visual effect and so you don't drive right off it. Would really love this.

Great work!

I'll only add something if it actually serves a purpose in the game. I plan to reintroduce asphalt roads, but other than that I'm not sure if I'll add any more floors. Right now the focus is on bridges.

Yay!
Awesome news. Thank you, Rahjital.

And thank you for the bridge graphics! Without that, there would be no bridges, and most likely no Roadworks

Thanks for the offer! I think I'll rewrite the script from scratch, though, since there's some additional car features I want to add and they would conflict with this script.

Thanks! Sadly rail bridges aren't quite in yet, but I'm working on them at the moment and they'll be in the next release, along with power pole bridges.

Yes, it would be possible, but I would need the graphics for it first. The current bridge graphics were made by Hitzu, not me, so you would have to ask him for it.

[AlexTheNotsogreat]

Seeing you have plans on asphalt, here is what I'm thinking for it.

Tar: A new "puddle" resource like oil, but pure black, and maybe make oil lighter in color to distinguish more.
Or just make it use oil, I guess...
10x Asphalt: Made with 5 concrete, 5 tar, and 2 stone, movement speed is 180%
Produces small amounts of pollution (Black coloring generates heat), but adds up quickly.

Hope this is good

[Rahjital]

I want to keep the mod as vanilla-compatible as possible, so I don't think adding new resources will happen. Asphalt will most likely be made out of heavy oil, stone, and possibly sulfur. Making it generate pollution is a very interesting idea, though, I'll have to look at it further to see if it's possible to do.

[Wyrm]

Tar can have many sources. It can be made from petroleum, wood, or coal. All three of these are already available in the vanilla game.

[Rahjital]

Then I can just skip the step and have it made directly from oil

[Pippaf1]

I have used this mod and it is great and a rail bridge would be nice but I would like to see a bridge that will take a conveyer belt. That would be exceedingly useful. Thank you for the fine work please keep it up.

a rail bridge would be nice, I agree. But putting other stuff - there's a landfill mod that lets you put ground tiles on water, and what you put on that is everything...

I think bridges shouldn't allow putting anything on them (other than what goes on roads & bridges in RL) - I also tried putting belts on them the first time I used the mod and thought it should be like that, but now that I've read your post, I thought a) there's already a mod for that & b) what's next, Maybe lamps for night-light and poles to power them ? chests ? assembly machines ? furnaces ? NO N-O NO. go to landfill mod - that's what it's for !

[Zeeth_Kyrah]

Honestly, I'd have the rail bridge be a second placeable structure. No transport belts, no machines, merely a foot/vehicle bridge and a rail bridge (combine a straight rail with a bridge tile). Anything else is unnecessary. I don't want to add yet another mod like Landfill no matter how good it is, I want to use THIS one. Real-world ridges have lamps, footpaths, streets, and rail track on them, and I'm only asking for one of those. Without rail or transport belts, there are only two ways to transport materials across the bridge: carry them across (which is nice but unreliable and extra work for the player in a game about AUTOMATION), or use a swarm of logistics robots. Why do I want 100 robots doing the work of 1 locomotive and 3 wagons?

[jockeril]

I've just remembered another thing - There's a rail bridge mod !

That's awesome! Does it work on 0.12? Can I have two mods in one?

Yes it works in 0.12 - it's just the addition of two items (with the ability to place over water) & one research, and yes - you can have both

[kinnom]

can you update this to 0.12.11+

[gmyx]

can you update this to 0.12.11+

Here you are: A working 0.12.21 version!

Fix for 0.12.11+ compatibility.

[UntouchedWagons]

I wish I could place rails on these.
