Collapse
A support is destroyed → everything that no longer touches the ground falls, floor by floor, even brick. Items placed on it are dropped lower down.
Closing the top
Above the 4th level, only roof, gables and ceiling can be placed.
Why?No 50 m towers or bridges over nothing: a base has to stand up. And a smart raider goes for the supports!
TipA pillar planted in the ground acts as a support: the floor on top of it starts again at 90%. Ideal under a large floor.

12 Walls & houses
Close off your land… or move into an existing house
Palisade & gate
- 4 m segments, 6 m high: impossible to get over, even from a truck
- The next one snaps onto the end: Mouse wheel = ±15° per step
- Stone: indestructible · barbed wire on metal and stone · a truck fits through the gate
Barricade a house on the map
- Wheel → “House door” or “House window”, N on: aim at the opening → fits itself in place
- Otherwise: ←→↑↓ size · PgUpPgDn height
- Same tiers and code lock as the mod doors · forbidden: military bases, prison, police, hospital…
