is there a mod for building physics?

[ThunderOne]

so buildings can collapse if not supported right

[オルゴール]

As structural integrity checks are very CPU heavy, I doubt it.
But I myself would also love to see something like that!

Why would you want your buildings to collapse? If they incorporated that, then we couldn't build "sky bridges" or build a road to some resource across a chasm? Ha, well some people do agree with you, they prefer to have support columns about every three foundations or so, but it's just their preference, to build a realistic factory, not one that is floating in the sky, even though the "sky castle factories" are rather pretty, easier to build on a flat surface. What would happen to your foundation if you built it on top of an ocean, big lake, or a sea? It would be another "Atlantis Factory."

Did you just ask yourself why OP would want that, and ended your comment with "it's just their preference"? xD
But well.. I was just gonna point out, that some people just prefer some more realistic kind of feel to their building, and if such a mod exists, Id get it myself too!

After playing valheim I can understand where this idea comes from but I dunno if it would be worth the implementation, really.

First thing collapse will be Space Elevator

Wh... Why should it?
Its literally in space and orbits the planet. And when its on an orbit, then it won't fall down because it is constantly falling as fast as it the planet is curving away from it

That maybe true for the actual part that is in orbit, but the connection cable is a whole different topic.

But the connection rope is connected to the probe in orbit and to the ground.
Yes maybe the probe would have to accelerate/decellerate at some point minorly to adjust... but why should it collapse? The force the rope is actually applying to the probe is very weak, as both the probe's and rope's force is just bound by gravity. And the force is mass * acceleration.
The mass of the rope would... I dunno 200tons? The acceleration is for both the same.
And now imagine the probe being like 100000tons. If the probe is able to sustain in space, those small 200tons will not make a real difference, if it has an electric engine in it that gets solar power or whatnot...

That space elevator is a special topic tbh, you need literally nothing and build the biggest object in the game… its kinda stupid, would prefer a beacon where the fisco guys drop the actual space elevator from the orbit instead.

Yeah, Space Elevator been super cheap to build yet... Should be transfered to Tier 5 or higher and receipe something with light frameworks, superdense composite alloys and carbon stuff...

Your numbers are only slightly off.
Although it is an alien planet and we can't be sure about the details exactly.
But lets assume it is somewhat earth like for the sake of the argument.
A standard steal rope (~10 mm diameter) weighs ~13kg per 100 meters.
geostationary orbit, where theprobe would need to be, is at 35.785km.
One standard steel rope would weigh 4.652.050 t.
This exceeds the tensil strength of said rope by several orders of magnitude.
Of course there are materials with better weight to tensil strength ratios, but nothing we know comes even close to what would be required.

TLDR: The rope would tear under it's own weight.
This is the main problem with the practical implementation of space elevators.

I mean they literally can make some fantasy material and problem is solved. ;) like nanomachine optimized lithium cable lol.

[starkmaddness]

The rope is made of carbon nanotubes. There, problem solved. The strength to weight ration is sufficient, at least theoretically, we just haven't perfected the manufacturing of it yet.

+1 to the addition of structural stability in the game.

It is explained ingame why the elevator is very cheap.
You only provide a little part of it.
