Overview

Suspension Bridge 3x1 is a bridge segment used to cross wider gaps than a standard path tile. It belongs to the Suspension Bridges set and is designed as a 3-tile span with a single anchor point, making it useful when you need a short but efficient crossing over water, ruins, or other impassable terrain.

A Suspension Bridge 3x1 is 4 tiles long in total: 1 tile is the anchor point and the other 3 tiles are the suspension span. A single bridge can span a gap of 3 tiles, while two placed together can span 6 tiles. This makes it a modular option for extending routes across larger spaces without committing to a full long bridge segment.

Because the bridge’s usable span is shorter than its total footprint, planning the anchor position matters. It is most effective when the far side already has a suitable landing spot, or when you are laying out multiple bridge segments in sequence. In practice, the 3x1 version serves as a flexible middle-size option between shorter and longer suspension bridge pieces, letting you fine-tune crossing length to match the terrain.

  • Use one Suspension Bridge 3x1 for a 3-tile gap.
  • Use two in sequence for a 6-tile gap.
  • Remember that the bridge occupies 4 tiles total, so the anchor point must be accounted for in construction planning.
