Hi, I've been having trouble in one of my gharial habitats, which has a river going around the outer edge of the habitat, and then cutting back up. So there's a large island in the center of the habitat, and a smaller piece of land at the bottom edge where I have a raised viewing platform for guests. In order to have the gharials come closer to guests I've placed a feeding station on that edge. However, the keepers can't reach it from across the river. I want to make a nice wooden bridge for the keepers, but I've tried building one with both climbing frame & roof/walking materials & they still don't seem to want to use it. They also don't seem to use rock paths either. Is this a bug, or am I just using the wrong pieces?
Does anyone know what keepers can walk on?

Climbing frames work, I used them to create wharfs to my flamingo pond feeders. The keepers do have a fairly versatile traversible area from what I can tell. In my Japanese macaque habitat they will use a broken Himalayan pine that I've placed on a lean as a bridge. I believe the general rule of thumb is that they can more or less go anywhere an animal can except in the water.
I tried using a climbing frame, but since it was in the Gharial habitat and the Gharials couldn't use it to cross the river it seemed my zookeepers also couldn't use it? (Not sure if that's the reason why or if it was just too high of a slope for the keepers to walk up?) The notification wouldn't disappear until I used stone pieces to build a smooth bridge, which my keepers did start using.
