Is it possible to build 50 meters high?

[Bjorn Ironside]

I am trying to make a stone tower but I can't get over 30 meters in height. I am using the wooden beams with stone and it still seems to have a certain limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/3102389184718386489/ covers some things about height. Highest height shown is a little over 40m.

You can also cheese it a bit by growing some trees and then building off the trees with stone- Anything attached to a tree directly is treated as foundation as if it were on the ground. So using this you can get the max height of a tower quite a bit higher...though you'll have to find a way to hide the tree leaves from external view and all that.

Shurenai gave you a good option as trees do give you a blue foundation starting point.

That said, if it's just a tower, with nothing inside you can just raise the ground in the center to use as a foundation point also. I'm not sure if there's a limit to how high you can raise it though, but it will give you another blue foundation piece to build off of to go higher.

I havent done it myself, but apparently stacking metal gates can go up as far as you want and act as anchor points.

After the gates are placed you can cover them in stone or other blocks to hide them.

Plant some pine trees and use the tops of them as support. I recommend iron beams.

Another option is to go get a mod which allows the structural integrity system to be disabled which means build whatever you want with no structural issues... even floating structures... If you want to stick to strictly vanilla game, then you are limited to a certain height only.

Use iron wooden poles for structural support of your stone tower.
They have almost double the integrity of regular wooden beams.

I work on a 8x8(x2m) tower
With a heigh of 11x2m i have issues to make my chimney stable (3mhigh)
Made a iron pillar framework, so at least for the walls there would be more possible i guess (highest walls are Deep orange)
And if i would add a wood roof i guess i could MAYBE add one additional story

But with pure Iron pillars and stone 22m is the max high for a floor on a 16x16m tower i would suggest. (thats 4 decent high storys)

maybe you can get higher with iron gates, some people said they can be exploited. But then you risk your stuff to collapse with every patch

I built my 22 meter high lighthouse lit by a bonfire in the other thread because somebody seemed to believe that a stone foundation for a bonfire at the top of it was necessary when it isn't.

I used no wooden supports for that by the way ;)

Now, if a bonfire isn't a requirement, I do believe I could build higher, but why?
Just because I can?
I like building for aesthetic reasons, but I also build for functionality. I can't see any need for any tower to be higher than 30 meters let alone 22 or even 10 lol.
But, I'm willing to try to build a stone tower higher than 30 meters if it would prove that it's possible if anyone wants me to ;)

I'm trying to use the gates as you said, but they also seem to have a limit equal to that of the structures. The taller the weaker he gets.

i guess allready patched

Small tip, using the mod for unlimied Ground raising is not vanilla proof
If you switch to vanilla your building collapses

Only thing that should still work is ....

Yep the stones stay in place even after relog from Modded to vanilla game

Well you cant do that without mods or command console. But people can load it with vanilla

Use wood iron poles, they will themselves build to about 50m, you can get to 56 or so if you're clever (stone will not go that high tho, but you can get them a lot higher).

If you use natural support, like a living tree, or the stone pillars in Plains, you can go even higher.
Personal record is 116 meters iirc, i think about 60 or 70 with stone..

Raise the ground right where your perimeter walls are going to be, and also dig as far down as you can on the inside. Then dig a small entryway through the perimeter terrain. That way you'll enter at the bottom, go up a few floors before you reach your "blue" integrity stone walls, and it can go as high as integrity will allow beyond that.

Edit: it's worth mentioning that this is a great way to defend against raids anyway, as an alternative to trenches/moats. If you build this "terrain wall" high enough, even trolls can't reach the parts of your base that actually have hp.

If you use a first person mod and the command console this is possible
(Its vanilla safe, means if you switch back to vanilla nothing happens)

This way you can make atower higher than ygdrassil (i guess)

[BGratz]

If you use the command console

After some further tests i can say that you can build higher than 22, but i still have no idea what happens if the foundation despawns because you are too high
The grid is btw 8x4m +1m for the walls this way you get a stable building.
