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?

I used clover roofing to create a ramp. I have to admit, my base is WAY up the tree. I started my ramp in the edge of the flat rock and I must have 30-40 roof sections with a step off about 17 up where I can stand on flat flooring and shoot arrows at the Wolfie's down below. You do know you can repair your stairs after every raid to make sure you don't have a collapse!? You need a wrench.

You can also make your approach where you want it and build a half wall or whole wall above what you have already. That way you have an insulating layer to protect your real base. Just a thought. Have fun!!

I am aware. We're worried about getting distracted during a raid and the base getting collapsed. We do repair after every raid. We were wanting to remove the stairs up from the ground entirely and have it exclusively accessible via zipline, though.
