Supports are pillars built to prevent cave-ins. They can be linked to mechanisms, collapsing when the triggered, causing a cave-in if the support was the only thing holding the roof up. Such are one-use only, the support is lost when triggered and then any new link must be created on a new pillar.
Supports are built through the build menu and require one stone, log, block or bar of any type. They are built in two stages - first the material is moved into place by an architect, and then (depending on material) completed by either a mason (for stone and soap), wood crafter (for wood) or metal crafter (for metals).
Supports do not create a floor tile on the Z-level above. Supports must be built on solid surfaces, so stacking supports atop each other only works if a floor is added between. Supports do not block movement, fluids or missile fire.
