Double Platform

The  Double Platform is a solid  wooden  Paths and Structures  Building. They are versatile, raised 1x1 surfaces. Common uses include:

• foundations: filling in sunken terrain for pathing or structures; and
• bridges: raising paths, power transmission, or fluid flow (if covered with an Impermeable Floor) over obstacles.

You cannot use platforms to build above non-solid structures. To achieve that, use Overhangs, Metal Platforms, or Suspension Bridges to pass over the structure, noting that bridges are only suitable for foot traffic.

Unlike Levees, platforms can be built and used in water without obstructing fluid flow. They are often stacked and used with Wooden Stairs to form spiral staircases to ascend tall structures.

Many small structures and decorations can be built underneath platforms of sufficient height. Examples: staircases under double platforms, bushes and paths underneath a platform.

Construction

The Double Platform is built out of  Logs and  Planks and follows all the normal Building rules.

History

Update 6: With new 3D water physics, Levees can now be placed on top of Double Platform.
