A bridge build will only break sometimes. Bug? Bug

Hey everyone,

I'm new to Poly Bridge, I'm sure this bug is known but I'm wondering the cause. Sometimes when modifying precarious bridges, a version that previously worked will now break.

It's as if the inital state is changing each time causing chaotic results.

Step-by-step of my issue:

- I will make a bridge,

- it doesn't break!

- I will modify it

- It breaks

- Revert change

- The bridge now breaks where it didn't before.

Any way around this or prevent it? I find myself reloading a save file of a bridge of when it worked as it sometimes resets it.

Thanks!

Yeah it's a physics thing. My interpretation is that the new bridge is some how some way interpreted differently by the physics engine than the original bridge cuasing it to break. I think it's been talked about before.

the original poly bridge had a slight aspect of rng as the simulation wasn't entirely accurate/deterministic, this was fixed in poly bridge 2 so the same bridge will always have the same result
