Mode: Survival Mode: Dedicated Server (Private server) Reproducibility: Always Severity: Minor Type: Building Summary: Structural Integrity does not seem to applied consistently Description: placing blocks 1 by 1 works as intended, but when you "draw" a line to place multiple blocks at once, SI seems to break down. Steps to Reproduce: build a line of blocks 10 blocks on one end, build a tower of blocks 5-10 blocks tall (height doesn't seem to matter much) - save this as a 'template snapshot' build a line of blocks parallel to the ground, from the top of the pillar, 9 blocks out - this will line up with the first row of blocks. place the blocks 1 by 1 Build another tower, connecting the top row and bottom row, placing blocks 1 by 1 -- note this works just fine Revert to "template snapshot" -- repeat the above steps using shift+drag to place multiple blocks at once. Using shift+drag "draw" a line of blocks parallel to the ground, 9 blocks long Using shift+drag "draw" a line from the top line to the bottom. when you release the mouse button, the structure collapses I used concrete blocks to reproduce the issue.
Have you tried this with the Structural integrity overlay visible ? Do the blocks at the end of the row turn red ? Is there support for them ? Can you show a short video of this happening ?
@Pantera @kittle I believe I duplicated what he was talking about. I think I also see why it's doing it, because if you draw the line from the bottom up, it doesn't break. EDIT: I find it interesting that the click/drag leaves a single block attached at the bottom of the structure every time.

Please ignore my trips and stumbles. key timestamps: 1:30 - 2:30 "one block at a time" example (I did it wrong the first time, so skip the first min and a half) 2:30 - 3:00 "click and drag" example.... dragging down - I think this is the SI break he described (I'll poke him tonight to verify) 3:00 - 3:30 I tried doing the click and drag UP instead of DOWN--the same way you would have had to do it one block at a time. This worked. 3:30 to end - repeated what he described that "broke"
Video matches what I was trying to do. The main issue is if you are trying to build a platform over water, or a platform over a hillside. When you "draw" lines of blocks from top to the ground, the SI fails.
