When you put Points in Attributes/Expertise tree one of last final perks you can choose is Structural Integrity - Structures you build are 25% more stable.
So what exactly do you gain by placing a building piece while having that perk? Is it 25% to building pieces durability? Or is it something for tree bases for example or balcony where you can place extra 1 or 2 rows of tree foundations or ceilings to the outside without adding extra support for that building pieces?
Edit: And very important question: What happens when you reset your Attributes? Does that “25% more stable” stays permament on that placed building piece?
BTW KiahOnFire just released a video about Encumbrance build that might help you gear up to start building with that Structural Integrity, check it out:
Yeah…and IMHO well worth it. I’m deciding if I need to redo some of the work I have done in the past with this perk active. It’s stupidly powerful in the wrong hands.
u can build way better as the pieces loose stability when placed less than they do when normal. so if u building a base or a construction , having less stability consumed helps a lot in closing gaps etc. (to give u an example without the perk u can extend 4 ceilings out of a foundation , whilst having this perk u can extend 6…
seems not much but it is! i have my base on the ruin above lians watch… due to this perk i will redesign the whole base… with old stability the place to be closed needed 3 pillars to be able to close entirely the ceilings and enclose a cube. with new perk it needs not creating a vast space that can server me on what i now have 2 floors!!!
will attach screenshots to make it clearer
i only waiting the respecing potions to be fixed in order to respec without the fear of loosing any recipes as this character has almost every recipe from both maps
I thought the same thing but it’s 6…Norway math. The wedges are also done differently so it’s getting all sorts of confusion now as we place things.
So, just a little math. I was messing around last night with this for the first time, checking with a repair hammer as I went.
The perk reduces stability loss from each built piece by 25%. For example;
A normal foundation has 100 Stability, and a Stability Loss Multiplier of 1 (as a decimal, this means 100%).
When extending ceilings outwards;
1st 80 Stability (-20)
2nd 60 Stability (-20)
3rd 40 Stability (-20)
4th 20 Stability (-20)
With the perk, a foundation now still has 100 Stability, but a Stability Loss Multiplier of 0.75 (as a decimal this means 75%).
When extending ceilings outwards;
1st 85 Stability (-15)
2nd 70 Stability (-15)
3rd 55 Stability (-15)
4th 40 Stability (-15)
5th 25 Stability (-15)
6th 10 Stability (-15)
