Walterstj Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I am currently struggling with not being able to place blocks on a structure that I have already built... I tried to make another level on a structure that I had already built out of cobblestone block... When I placed the block, the cobblestone blocks underneath just fell apart... And now when I try to replace the blocks that were already there, they just fall and smash apart... I'm not quite sure what's happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Sounds like you exceeded the SI limits. Can we get some screenshots of the structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damselx1 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Is this a supported structure or solid to bedrock - as in, is there a gap under where you are placing blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterstj Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 No... There is no gap... It's a wall... 6 blocks wide, by 5 blocks high... There is a 2 block gap on the second row where I had placed 2 glass panes... I'll upload some pictures in a couple minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterstj Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 [ATTACH=CONFIG]24039[/ATTACH] there is the spot... the middle 2 blocks on the second row was where the glass panes were. I had to add another wall on the inside to keep everything out... no matter what I do, even with the wall on the other side, you cannot place blocks there, any block, they just scrap apart and fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi Walterstj, What is under the concrete blocks with iron bars? is it solid all the way down? The load weight on blocks below would be a factor too. If there is, this article may help you - https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?20701 Did you collapse any large structure all at once in the area before building?

Walterstj Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 No... I did not collapse any structure.. it is placed right next to the pass n gas in the desert biome heading west, just after the bridge next to the river... The structure is built as follows... The "posts" are cobblestone block, 5 blocks high, and the gap between posts is 6 blocks... So including the posts, it's a total of 8 blocks... I filled in the floor/ ceiling (depending on whether your above or below ) and started with the walls for the actual building with the same math.. blocks are 5 high, 6 blocks apart, 8 total... The second row has 2 or 3 blocks missing in the middle where I had placed glass panes... I built this structure after I had the issue at the farm with my concrete blocks never drying, so I went all cobblestone... I came back down and it's just randomly falling apart and now I cannot place anything there... I built a full wall behind it to keep everything out, but even the new wall won't support blocks there either... And more fun facts, when I try to stand on the iron bars I have placed for the spider guys, the bars fall now under my weight as well... This is 2 structures that have been fowled up and I don't know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterstj Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I posted a picture for you to look at. I'm fairly certain the SI limits are in no way reached. Nothing has been dug out underneath, and the make up of the building is below the SI of the blocks according to the math... I cannot find any reason for the blocks to just instantly fall apart when I place one there, and I've placed every kind. Wood, concrete, metal trussing, cobblestone frame, etc. They all just crash and scrap into whatever produced them... - - - Updated - - - no, there were no structures on that spot.. It is next to a structure, a pass-n-gas... it is a platform structure... posts are 6 blocks apart, so 8 blocks total including the posts, as are the walls on the structure above the platform.

Damselx1 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Are all your corners above the lower columns? It's hard to see on the picture - it looks like your upper floor is not properly supported. If the corners are all above the lower upright supports, it will help the integrity. You could also add a second row of floor - double thickness floors are stronger. You could also add ramps to the columns to help take the weight of the upper floor.

Walterstj Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 So I should put like a 45 angle on the posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
