The support value for the roof comes from the box pillers constructed with wall panels and door frame panels. They were constructed using ceiling, wall and sloped roof panels giving the building the look of a cathedral. The boxes shown for the roof fix do not have any support value for the roof. This is the view from the north end of the building with the fix in place. I told my clan leader that the fix was like "Putting lipstick on a pig." I will explain my bridge in the next section of the guide. Some of my construction scaffolding is still visable in this screen shot. This is the building after I fixed the roof. The Castle I saw was fairly large and it is possible their shots would hit their tower roofs they had placed at the corners of their castle.Īfter setting up a duplicate base on in my single player game, I nicknamed the roof "The Pig." This is due to the huge amount of resources that were used trying to fix it on the server.
#STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY FULL#
There is a ledge on the cliff over the neighboring lagoon where my shots are landing with a full load in the counterweight.
In this screen, I am standing on a spotting tower behind the Trebuchet in a previous screen. I saw a screen of a really cool castle with one right in the middle of the roof. Once you have yours placed, it is a good thing to test it to make sure the shots are clearing your buildings and walls. I had not followed my own rule of thumb and left extra room around it. After messing around with the foundations pictured to the left and the Wheels of Pain on the right, I was able to get it to stay in place. This is what I came back to after placing the foundation and building the Trebuchet in place. *Note* I have not test this with the changes made to teh Wedge Foundations and Ceiling Panels. The same applies if you interact with the Siege Foundation and build the Trebuchet on site. As for the rest of the Trebuchet, if there is not enough room for it to rotate or fire at a target, you will not be able to place it on the base. If you do not have enough support under the seige foundation, you will be unable to place it. Foundations can also be placed on the ceiling panels to add support. By proper support, you can use walls, pillars and ceiling pieces to support it. Since it is circular, you can place this on towers or other structures as long as you provide it with proper support. This Trebuchet is sitting on a rock formation buried by the foundations you see. When I Built down here, I was able to get the foundations to meet up in a skewed fashion with those already in place at the bottom of the rock formation. I liked the porcupine look it gives to my base. I am not sure why, but they would not connect to the foundations already placed that are connected to the rock formation.Īs you can see in the screens, I have attached Fences to the lower half of the Foundations. It is important to note that on the front view of the tower, the outer foundations do not connect to the rock formation and had to be built up from the ground.
You can use ceiling tiles with pillars and walls to support this in a round tower. To allow for other buildings near a Trebuchet, you need to increase the area to a 9X9 foundation size. The platform is 5X5 foundations in size for the Trebuchet. Since the primary foundation is the rock formation buried inside it, building down allowed for the allignmnet of the top with the bottom of the support tower for the Trebuchet that sits at the top. These two screens show the front and back of the same tower. I will explain this in the structural part of this guide. The roof of the building remaiind longer then the lower floor due to the fences and position of the walls of the upper floor of the building. This is what happened as I removed walls from the lower of the two floors. I had decided that the upper two floors of a building I had finished were no longer needed. It did not fully collapse until I removed the last part at the base, the stairs.Īll though the tower was not finished, it was still strong enough to hold together with the lower outer walls gone. When I reached this point, the weight of the upper structure started to cause the failures to occur that will bring the tower down. I started by removing the ramaining outer walls and door frame at the base. To start, I removed some of the outer walls so you can see the inner structure at the base of the tower. Due to a change in the bases layout, it was no longer needed and in the wrong place. I am going to show you what happened as I removed an unfinished tower in my base.
