What final Experitse perk - Structural Integrity really gives you?

OlSkunGun · 2022-09-26T17:42:24.017Z

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.

Does those ceilings extended above 4 due to having that Perk loos3 their stability when you reset your Attributes skills tree?

Nope. Stability stays with the piece.

Wow

wtth its amazing!

EduMariano · 2022-09-26T19:59:09.200Z

five ceilings till reach min stability?

OlSkunGun · 2022-09-26T20:10:49.033Z

If max. number of ceilings that you can place without adding extra support to them is 4 than how much is 4 plus extra 25%?

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)

If you have built a piece without the perk, then comes and replace the piece but now using the perk, does it take effect in the replaced piece?

erjoh · 2022-09-27T14:25:18.227Z

Ahhhh that makes sense.
