Structural Integrity Errors with Roofs

Benjamin Swem shared this bug 6 years ago
Outdated

This happens with every build I have tried using structural integrity. At randome, I will end up with a section of roof (just a roof tile) supported by wood supports on a stone block and the stone block will mysteriously be destroyed along with the wood supports. In some cases, the roof tile itself will be perfectly fine and undamaged. This suggests that the roof tile is somehow applying an inreasonable amount of force to the support and stone block that should not exist? Logincally speaking there is no wa the roof tile weighs more than a stone block itself and if the roof is sufficiently supported by other structures tobegin with, then why would it be applying so much force to the block benieth it? Especially when other areas wih the exact same arrangement are perfectly fine. This error makes building any structure with structural integrity impossible for me unless I just to use any roof block at all.

Hello, thank you for the report. We know that structural integrity is little wanky but do not worry. We are going to look at structural integrity in the next major update.

I just wanted to leave a thought here, I've had similar problems where for seemingly no reason a small building would have a corner collapsed, I think it has to do with the roof overhangs, that small part of the roof that is technically another block next to the real roof, the part that autogenerates when you place them, the ones that are buggy as hell, well I think the game considers them whole blocks and with structural int. because of this if you have a block directly under a roof overhang, even though it looks like they don't touch the game thinks they do, and so the weight of whatever structure has the roof, is transmitted to the block in front and under the roof block (or directly under the roof overhang). Maybe if the devs just turned off structural int. for the roofs overhang part?
