0000655: Building a wall or floor (maybe others) on the side of a bridge with no support always causes a cave in.
Probably shouldn't be able to place the building order at all.

Could be used as an exploit for defending. Like building a bunch of bridges 15z above the entrance and when attacked have masons build lots of walls between the bridges.

It is really safe for the mason too (not one injury after quite a few tests).
1. Build bridge 2z off the ground with nothing around it except a support for the bridge.
2. Build walls and/or walls.
3. After completion they will cave in.
No tags attached.
