Revision 6

A pillar made of sticks

Category: Pillars and Beams - Pillars

Pillar (Sticks) is the standard-height load-bearing column in the Pillars and Beams set, woven from Plant Fiber. Pillars snap to floor corners and run up to roof height, forming the corners of most buildings and giving large open rooms a structural spine. The Sticks version is the cheapest pillar in the game, useful for framing a first shelter before stronger materials are unlocked.

In the Build Tree

Sticks is an early tier that is available from the start of a save with no plan required. For taller spans use the two-course Large Pillar (Sticks). As you loot recipe plans the same slot upgrades through Pillar (Log), Pillar (Timber), Pillar (Weathered), Pillar (Stone), and Pillar (Plaster). A Pillar with a Base adds a decorative footing for finished interiors.

Pillar Variants

Tips

• Lay a Floor or Foundation before raising pillars; they only snap onto an existing ground layer.

• Corner pillars close the gaps that plain Walls leave at perpendicular joins, so plan them into each corner.

• Drag-build by holding the place button and walking to stamp a whole colonnade at once.

Progression Notes

Pillar (Sticks) is part of the crafting progression chain rather than a standalone collectible. Use the recipe, station, and ingredient rows to trace what unlocks it, what it consumes, and which linked upgrades or materials should be prepared before crafting it.
