The Metal Pillar is the third unlockable pillar. A pillar is a stackable form of a foundation, which is used for building structures.

Construction

The Metal Pillar can be placed on even or slightly uneven ground, or on the top or bottom of foundations, ceilings, or other pillars. Once the first Metal Pillar is placed, subsequent pillars can snap into place on the top or bottom of the first one, provided there is adequate room to do so.

A pillar or series of pillars with the bottom touching the ground and a ceiling on top will function as a foundation, providing support and allowing structures to be built on top of it.

Support

See also:  Foundation

---

Pillars provides sufficient support to allow a structure built on top of it to extend up to 2 ceilings in any direction on the x and y-axis, and up to 1 ceiling diagonally, not counting the center ceiling. However, the ceilings on the far end will not support walls.

A diagram showing how a single pillar or foundation (✖) can support 13 ceilings (indicated in green). The edges marked in red will not be able to support a wall without additional support beneath.

Notes

• There seems to be a max height of 78 pillars before you are prevented from placing more.

• The Metal Pillar is treated as a metal structure and can only be damaged by  explosives, the  Tek Rifle,  Tek Saddles, a  Titanosaur,  Arthropluera,  Corrupted Creatures,  Enraged Creatures,  Titans,  Bosses, or the  DodoRex.
