Why is it lacking support?

The support system is really hit or miss.

Sorry, was talking about the "power outtage", no idea why it shows as "no support"

thats fine on that part since the purpose is for support only.

Things can sometimes snap weirdly. You have to see what points light up yellow when snapping. If all the points you'd expect isn't lighting up right, you'll have to plug them in and out, rotate them, etc to see if you can get it to bridge the weird microscopic gaps.

I've had floors touching 1 wall and 2 other floors suddenly decide they were only comnected on 1 side. Check the whole column and not just the one below the broken piece.

Edit: Looking at it again, is that floor on the left column extending outside the platform? Because if so, that would be the issue right there. It would be a Platform - Panel - Pillar - Pillar - Pillar in a weird L shape which means the Pillar can't extend support from the platform.

Advanced parts have bad snap points. Snapping to them also provides no power or support. You have to snap to a basic tile or wall first and then snap the advanced pieces in after.

Yeah it's 1 panel out of the platform but it's the same for the other lining up. Weirdly the structure above it is supported lol.

It's supported because of the ones that are connected to the platform directly and the floor panel between them. Stability would be moving upwards from the Pillar on the inside, then transferred to the outer Pillar through the floor panel.

It would logically be,
Platform - Inner Pillar - Inner Pillar | - Floor Panel - Outer Pillar
With both Inner Pillars being stable pieces so the support only extending outwards by 2 pieces. The Floor Panel is actually critical to the support of the 3rd Outer Pillar.

The problem area is,
Platform | - Floor Panel - Outer Pillar - Outer Pillar - Outer Pillar
The Outer Pillars are not directly connected to the platform so they don't carry the stability upwards. Support usually goes about 3 meters so from the Floor Panel outwards, it is as if you just have a line of 4 Floor Panels extending outwards with only the first Floor Panel connected to a wall.

As long as you keep adding the floors between connected to the Inner Pillar sitting on top of the Platform, you can keep building the Outer Pillars upwards together with it.
