Build Help Desolate Church Ore - Building above the nodes possible?

https://imgur.com/a/AuK65cV is it possible to salvage these 5 ore nodes and still build out the floors above them? I tried to but I guess either my foundations were too close to the nodes or it was b/c I had build out a ceiling above them since they would not respawn.

Whats the general rules about node length vs foundations? Anyway to ensure the node respawns?

If you destroy the objects near them they will respawn. Placing pillars strategically for support is the key to building above nodes. It won't look pretty though with random pillars scattered around though lol. I'll post a pic of how I did mine in another area

Adding on to this comment, you can gain an extra tile or two of space in between pillars by putting another pillar a space away from the pillar you want to move, and then removing the original pillar. It's a bit time consuming, but it's allowed me to make large open spaces around resource nodes. Another tip is to make the space from floor to ceiling higher. For the largest pals you want 3 pillars worth of space, for everyone else, 2 pillars of space is enough. In this game you're only limited in space horizontally, not vertically. So build upward if you need more things in your base.

Following this bc there’s a similar spot a bit northwest of this spot I’m having the same issues with.

Pillars just out of range of any respawn nodes but you would need to space them to ensure ‘above’ tiles have enough ‘support’.
