Yeah, it’s a wild rabbit hole. Games usually treat bridges as static objects or simple spring‑mass systems that can buckle if you hit the threshold, but real engineering dives into load paths, fatigue, and materials science. If you’re digging into the math, you’ll see that a game’s “bridge collapse” is often a line‑break in code, not a stress‑strain curve. It’s fun to compare, but don’t expect the same level of detail unless you’re building a simulation for a physics engine. What’s the most surprising mismatch you’ve found so far?
