I propose that you should be able to build floors if you can attach it to two other floors.
That way you can:
-build a full ceiling in a 3x3 house
-place corners when building "awnings". I don't know what they are called in english, I'll try to explain with different words.
You can place floors hanging above the outside walls but you cannot place it in a corner because with the current system an edge must always touch a wall.
Right now, you have to place wall frames where your ceiling should go, attach your floor frames to it, build the floor frames and destroy the wall frames as a workaround.
I'd say it should be a little more indepth than that. else you could have a 100x100 structure with only walls on the outer edge, not supports. So add a structural support(ss) variable for walls and floors. Then Give walls an ss value based on the material they are made of (ex: wood =2, stone = 3, metal = 4) and give floors a set ss cost. So a wooden wall with an ss value of 2 could have a floor attached with an ss value of 1 (it inherits the different between its cost (1) and the walls ss value 2). A floor connected to floors would need to be attached to at least 2 floors with an ss value greater than 0 and would inherit the lower difference of the 2 floor ss values. (if 1 floor ss value is 2 and the other is 1 the new floor ss value would be 0. the difference of 1 and the floor cost).
This would allow some further build out, upgrade the distance that can be built out with higher materials and a way to drop structure that lose their support. When a wall is destroyed or upgrade it can pass its new ss value to walls it is attached to. A floor that is sent this new ss value cal check to see if it is attached to other walls or valid floor structures before collapsing is support is not available.
These updates would be the biggest pain in the ass part of this system. because of possible false checks.
You could also, with slight modification, make it to where a floor that is placed but ends up with 0 ss is structurally insecure but could still be built, but would collapse if you walked on it, or maybe only if you jumped on it.
Point is it is more complex but offers versatility in what can be done with it.
i don't really want to see them back, but this is where pillars would be useful.
Pillars back, but not with the dick restrictions they had before, wouldn't be a bad idea.
Fuck pillars right in the ass. But some sort of necessary support that governs where floors can go would be nice. perhaps stop some of the physics defying thats going on lately.
