[Bug?] Trees can be planted on bridges

To continue my experimentation with bridges - I accidentally placed a tree on top of one.
I took out to sea with my bridges and sure enough, you can plant trees on bridges even if they are over water.

I'm currently uncertain of how the salt water will affect the tree's growth. :geek:

You're doing a great job at finding all the little issues, I see :)

I think the best solution to this is to limit the placement of trees (and flowers) to dirt and grass (and maybe snow) layers only. Regardless, I've added it to the 'fix' list!

Cheers,
Chris

Update: Trees don't care about salt water - will grow anyway. Now it's a lovely scenic park area!

Well, I hopped on to test the replicating bridge thing and just kind of stumbled on these others.
I figure that's how other tools like the old warcraft3 world editor did it, just limiting objects by tile type (using "just" loosely, it's never that simple! lol).

The functionality is already there (malting barley and crops require a hard surface or tilled earth respectively) so it will just be a matter of adding the proper flag to the item defs.
