Compare the shape you can actually build across your gap and test it with the traffic you want to use. A reproducible record includes the gap, support layout, materials, vehicle, and the first bend, break or completed crossing.

What bridge forms can I see in the official images?

Visible formWhat to look for on your own layout
Straight plank over the gapThe image shows one narrow deck with ends resting on opposite banks. Check how your road reaches both banks before adding supports.
Straight truss with trianglesThe schematic joins horizontal lines with alternating diagonals. Compare where your diagonal endpoints meet the joints shown in the reference.
Arched truss above a straight deckThe artwork shows a curved top and a straight deck joined by vertical and diagonal members. Distinguish the road line from the arc when reading a trace.

These examples describe the official promotional images. Their in-game availability, dimensions and load capacity are Not Verified. A separate promotional image shows a truck above a visibly broken triangulated deck. Even a picture with triangular bracing cannot establish that a layout will carry a given vehicle.

How do I compare two designs on the same gap?

  1. Save a view of the entire bridge before traffic crosses. Note the gap and rebirth count, road shape, support material, vehicle model, and any durability effect.
  2. Watch the same kind of crossing in each test. If a beam bends, note its location and whether the vehicle reaches the other bank. If it breaks, note the first visible failure and which joint or member was involved.
  3. Change one feature you can identify in a second image. For example, compare a replacement support at the same joint with your first attempt. Keep the gap, material and vehicle fixed for that comparison.
  4. Compare the results before changing a second variable. If both runs had the same first failure, record that and look elsewhere. If you cannot see where the failure began, record that uncertainty and retest with a clearer view.

Use the Rule-Based Bridge Planner with the outcome you actually observed. A completed crossing only applies to the setup you tested. The failure checklist helps when the final wreck hides where the first break started. For the difference between a promotional schematic and a trace from the Builder, see blueprint references.
