wooden pillars and how to use them ?

[Nemi]

so when you get to a certain level you unlock wooden pillars they dont go between walls so does anyone know how to use them ?

[Romen]

In fact if you read the description on the pillars it actually mentions using them as support for walls which you can do. You can get them to snap in walls which at least makes them look like added support.

I was told a trick to make them not stick through the floor. But it takes some extra building, and demolishing.

I haven't tested it myself, but a friend of mine is doing a rather big project, and is firm in his case:

1) place a pillar, or several, up to the height you want.
2) put thatch ceiling up, the pillar shouldn't stick through (if it does, his trick doesnt work.)
3) Then you place more adjacent ceilings.
4) place pillar going from ceiling to ground. This one will stick through ceiling.
5) repeat 3 & 4 untill your ceiling is the size you want.
6) remove all the ceiling.
7) replace with new ceiling, which should now be on top of pillars, without them sticking through.

They are your best friends when you are building a foundation-less construction. Such as a shed on uneven ground with just roof and walls or a bridge/cliff ramp.

You can build them downwards from the existing ceiling. Once it hits the ground it and everything above it is considered to have foundation support allowing for 2 additional ceilings to be added above it.

You can simply move your mouse a bit to make the pillars stick under the ceiling rather than go through it ;)

If you can reliably reproduce and show this, you will be my god. Seriously no amount of cursor fiddling will ever get the pillar under the floor like I want it. The only way seems to be to create a double layer so you can snap the pillar to the ceiling underneath, leaving the top one flush.

Another useful use of he pillars is that foundations stick to it.
So on a very uneven floor, instead of putting ceiling, you can put a pillar next to a fondation (on the border) then the new foundation you'll want to place will be able to stick to this pillar but not on the same ground level (about 1 wall high)

it helps alot when you want to have foundation only structure (and you dont give a damn having ramps inside) on an uneven floor, it allows you to put walls without any problems)

[Luketh]

Also a good tip I guess for people that don't know. You can snap pillars to the corners or sides of a foundation/ceiling by first placing a fence foundation on the edge of the foundation/ceiling you want the pillar snapped to.

You can remove the fence foundation once the pillar is placed.

Note though, pillars snapped to corners or sides don't count as foundation support.

Actually, you CAN place HOUSE foundations under water. I did it to build a huge fance on my server blocking off my play area from the other players.

P.S. I'm plain and simple minded for pointing out that you are dumb?, typical child, go play sesame street little boy.

Most members of gaming communities are helpful and friendly. Even if a person asks a question I may believe is common sense, I'll answer... and without being a douch e bag. After answering, I would have learned that the person asking knew the common sense answer, but really wanted to know 'what else' they can be used for, such as using pillars for ramps going up the side of a cliff, which actually didn't dawn on me at first either. What things should be used for, and how they're implemented in video games, are often two very different things. Until Ark, I never would have thought pounding a rock with an axe would give you more stone than a pick. So how about a little more understanding, patience and friendliness, and you drop your immature "I'm better than you, kid" childish attitude? Stop pretending to be an adult, and start acting like one.

There is actually a trick I saw recently in a video on YouTube that lets you place Pillars side by side without gaps. This seems more useful when you are using metal pillars and seems to be a favourite of PVP players to surround their buildings with a wall of pillars to give extra raid protection.

Congratulations on being the most worthless poster of the day by necroposting a 2 year old thread just to act like a little kid.
