Building and supporting a roof.

[Rubberman2003]

Hello.

 

I have build a 16x17 building. I dug all the dirt out and built it on flat stone. Base is 4 blocks tall or reinforced concrete. 1 Block wide. The walls beyond that are upgraded wood. Am i going to need some sort of beam support from my base stone layer up the center of the house to support the rood? I kind of understand the block integrity, but not so much as the wood floors are attached to the concrete, if that makes sense. Thanks.

Take the blocks you are going to use for the roof and attach them to an outside wall. Build them out until they fall, then you know how far you can go.

In general, using the same basic material allows you to extend 4 blocks each side but you should do the calculation your own by reading the "max load" and "mass" of that material. The link below is the wiki about this issue:

However, remember that this wiki has not updated many information regarding A10. So, I suggest you reading the ingame information regarding the max load and mass of each building block

To make roof , use wedge block and then use triangle top and down combination so you get a triangle shape roof, it can attached so long more long than it should be

I once framed out an entire roof in A11...
