LEONLEON Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'm building rooftop farm in creative mode, and I wonder Is my contruction is correct. And How should I build roof and pillars to build stable rooftop farm base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The way I see it, as long as it works and doesn't collapse when there's grass / crops on top, it's correct. I recently made a dedicated raised 9x13 platform in survival using just wood for the top and concrete pillars. The pillars were: PwwwPwwwP wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww PwwwPwwwP wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww PwwwPwwwP The whole thing collapsed when I added the dirt on top. It seemed to hold all the weight of the dirt until grass started to grow on top of it which I hadn't thought of at the time. Irritated me so much. So my next build, I used metal trussing to each pillar in both directions, then had the wood layer on top of that. Seems to be holding everything just fine now. But talk about an expensive lesson to be learned. "Don't skimp on the materials, cuz dirt is heavy and offers no structural support. Here's some pics of my farm: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/860609918671734270/B22F7D148CBDFB5C2E3C34081884FBE7BFE4E836/ https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/860609918671738539/5C0938B28825435D5F0F138DEA71BA73C4C2D121/ https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/860609918671740793/792B0D4A7997539FAFCA3EE05863C4831307F550/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
