So im trying to colonize the first cavern.a Theres been a lot of activity, from trogs and molemarians, to FB. So slowly (20ish FPS), Ive been working on the first cavern layer making it accessible to my dwarves. I'm trying to cross a lake, build a bridge [b ][g], then some walls along the side of it to keep my little drunks from falling in. I designate the walls and go to a different task and while im not watching I get an announcement "A part of the cavern has collapsed". Now I have 11 dwarves at the bottom of the lake. No idea how this could of happened. There was no mining going on just building walls[b ][C][w]. Only thing I can think of is because there was only support on one side of the bridge and nothing underneath the actual bridge, maybe it "collapsed" but then it regained its composure? The bridge is still there btw.

The beards think bridges count as support and will build consrructions next to one if they can path there.  Bridges don't actually transfer support, though.  Either designate the walls one at a time or build some scaffolds first.

See 511: Constructions can be built next to bridges and grates but immediately collapse if unsupported.
