I will explain this in the structural part of this guide. The roof of the building remaiind longer then the lower floor due to the fences and position of the walls of the upper floor of the building.
This is what happened as I removed walls from the lower of the two floors. I had decided that the upper two floors of a building I had finished were no longer needed. It did not fully collapse until I removed the last part at the base, the stairs.Īll though the tower was not finished, it was still strong enough to hold together with the lower outer walls gone. When I reached this point, the weight of the upper structure started to cause the failures to occur that will bring the tower down. I started by removing the ramaining outer walls and door frame at the base. To start, I removed some of the outer walls so you can see the inner structure at the base of the tower. Due to a change in the bases layout, it was no longer needed and in the wrong place. I am going to show what happened as I removed an unfinished tower in my base. In the screen above, I was replacing T3 with T2 foundations to give the new building a unique floor color compared to the rest of my base. From the water level to a flat area on the chosen site for my new building is three foundations deep. I chose to use the most costly method by using foundations to level the site. I will explain this latter here in this post. Keep in mind that you will need to use more pillars closer together at the base the higher your building is. The cheapest in materials is to use pillars and ceilings placed on top of them. There actually are several ways to level your site for building on.
The only ones not in the area of my base is where you are building under an overhang or bridge. The area for my chosen base location has almost all of the types of terrain you can build on. For some reason the nest will not go away and the babies are respawning in the foundations.
The building system does allow you to build any where you like as long as the structual pieces will snap into place. The building sites in the game can range from level to vertical based on your location on the map.
