After thinking about bridges for a while, I realized something... there's only one way to drop them, trapdoors; and I thought, why only trapdoors? That train of thought led me to another idea, that being doors that go from walkable tiles to pits. So if this is included, we will have two whole ways to drop bridges.

There is another way to drop them.

And what would that be? Platforms? Bridges?

Yeah, I wonder too, I tested platforms, they didn't work. So what else could there be?

I got a message in a PM regarding this topic. Apparently "Builders", which I take to mean the Build Marker command, and a Citizen.

And a relay point (or the citizens will not do anything).

Oh yeah, they have to get the materials to build the water/pit somewhere...

True, but that requires the use of scripts.

Quick Edit: I actually didn't know what the build command did until now...

Well, the build command tells the citizens in the room to build stuff. That's pretty much it.

I realize it's to be flawlessly consistent, but the fact citizens need materials to make a /hole in the ground/.

I mean, can they tell it from, say..

Rather, they need some place to put the materials gotten from the hole into.

Then why do they head to the relay point FIRST?

For a wheelbarrow and shovel.

Ooh, good point. There we go. Flawless consistency. And yes, that is the right way to spell that. Edit: And I presume the water is held in the same wheelbarrow?
