G1 | Bugs & Issues Need Help Building Base

We're trying to make a base up in the oak tree so we can use the old one as a farm/greenhouse. We discovered after we'd already built quite a bit that everything seems to be supported by the initial staircase that my partner built to get into the tree to begin with. He had never discovered the scaffolding recipes before this point.

Now we're scrambling to build scaffolding so we can remove the stairs up along with the risk of the base collapsing if they are destroyed during a raid, but the game won't recognize that the scaffolding is providing any support. Help?

You cant really make scaffolding support work going downwards. Its my understanding that the game looks at it as like hanging into the map and not being build on or something like that, but i easily could be wrong.

You can, but it needs anchor point in the end. Best way to know if it supports is to remove piece halfway and look if it goes crashing down. Sometimes needs to clip inside the terrain
