bridges.
to build a bridge go to the rail building thing and click on the button that looks....like a bridge....and click on one slope (or flatland) and drag to another slope (or flatland)

there was too much water to build a bridge on, it would not let me do that or raise the land

Hi,

With the patch and the windows version of TT it's a piece of cake

1. Use the longer bridge switch that allows you to build longer bridges

2. Use a ship to transport the diamonds to a dock near the bank, use unload order, then a truck or train to move those diamonds to the bank
This is the feederservice switch

3. Use planes to transport the diamonds oversees, you can refit practically everything

As you can see, lots of options

to playing TTD+TTDPatch you have to run (always) ttdpatch[w].exe ... all switches can be see in DOS window (if you have 'verbose on' in your configration file, usually ttdpatch.cfg) and there are two programs which will help you with creating and customizing TTDPatch (TTDXConfigurator and TTDPatch Starter)

there is TTD manual to download at mine page :) ... and to configure CFG as for you, as new TTDPatch user I suggest to use TTDXConfigurator

put one bouy on the map somewhere in the middle of docks and oil platform ... and in Orders use this
1) Oli Platform
2) Bouy
3) Dock
4) Bouy

point 4. is necessary if you want ship to back to oil platform

Or use ship depots instead of buoys , then they get service at the same time :!:
