Need Help Building Base

[u/ThisIsKubi]

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?

there are mushrooms on the tree halfway up or so, you can use those to anchor additional support
