Suspension Bridge 6x1

Suspension Bridge 6x1 is a suspension bridge building used to span horizontal gaps. The structure occupies seven tiles in total: one tile functions as the anchor point and the remaining six tiles form the suspension span. In gameplay terms, a single Suspension Bridge 6x1 bridges a gap of six tiles between anchor points. Two adjacent Suspension Bridge 6x1 bridges placed end-to-end can span a continuous gap of twelve tiles.

The design separates the anchor from the suspended span, so the bridge’s effective traversable length equals the number of suspension tiles rather than the total footprint. The anchor tile is required to secure the bridge to flanking terrain or constructed supports; without a valid anchor the suspension span cannot be placed. Because each unit is seven tiles long but provides six tiles of span, planning for anchor placement is necessary when aligning multiple bridges to achieve longer crossings.

• Total footprint: 7 tiles (1 anchor + 6 suspension tiles).
• Effective single-bridge span: 6 tiles.
• Two bridges combined span: 12 tiles.

These facts apply uniformly to each Suspension Bridge 6x1 unit; bridging longer gaps requires multiple 6x1 units placed to connect anchors across the distance. The bridge’s naming convention (6x1) reflects the six-tile suspension span paired with a single anchor tile per unit.
