I'm looking into the possibility of creating a truly massive Army Splatter, a whole rooftop built over a large area that can be dropped with the flip of a switch. Lot of work, but if I could flatten an entire army with one pull, it'd be worth it. EDIT: It seems to work. Assuming that having a roof fall on your head is still considered an instakill for, say, a Troll or something, you could do some nice things with this. Kefkakrazy 04:49, 11 November 2007 (EST)

density of supports

what grid interval do I need between supports to hold up the floor above? I am trying to build a tower:
#####
#+++#
#+++#
#+++#
###>#
....###Do I need any supports to hold up a floor on the level above? Will a support stop me from building a bedroom over the whole level?

This will work as much as anything else
