Building & Stability

As per the rules, we ask that you use as little foundations as you can when you create your building. It is 100% possible to build an entire base with no foundations what-so-ever. Foundations can cause a lot of lag on the server.

I have put together a few things to hopefully help some of our newer builders on how to build without foundations and still keep good stability.

TIP: Holding TAB while looking over the piece will show you the stability.

First we start with a single foundation. Lay a ceiling piece off of that and then put a pillar underneath that. Get rid of the foundation, it's no longer needed.





Lay your ceilings from here. You can go four pieces out from your current pillared tile before needing another pillar.

Your middle ceiling will have 60 Stability.



The last tile will have 20.



Put a pillar underneath the tile with 20, and this will make it 100 stability.





The middle piece will still have 60, but the pieces in between is now 80 instead of 40. 60 is really the lowest you want to see, but sometimes 40 is okay depending on the spot. Pieces with 20 or lower will usually disappear at restarts.

Building With Support Beams
Start with your supporting beam and ceiling, then place your ceilings out like we did before.





Start your support beams at the pillar where your stability is 100.



Then work the support beams down the middle of the ceilings.



All of the ceilings with a support beam attached now have 100 stability, as long as the support beam is attached to something with 100 support.
