Roof Columns

Description
Roof Columns

Adds several columns to support dynamic expansion and retraction of roofs:

  • Simple Roof Column - Simple roof column, provides a thin roof over a 6x6 area.
  • Roof Column - A roof column, provides a roof over a 6x6 area.
  • Industrial Roof Column - An industrial strength roof column, provides a roof over a 6x6 area that's impossible for enemy raiders to drop through.

Supports expanding roofs both in a square around the column and a square to one corner of the column (partial expansion).

Supports overwriting existing roofs to enable construction of fancy bases in mountains with doors for ships and other vehicles.

Supports expansion based on power state to work with the Power Logic mod.

Inspired by Operable Roofs.
Made to blend in visually with Utility Columns

ill have to do some tests, but it appears to be broken, at least in my setup- the columns are all unplaceable >.<

Will this mod be updated to 1.4?

I also get the spamming error Exception in UIRootUpdate: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
which prevents placing more than 1 industrial column -S

Once I place a Column, it the second blueprint wont be placeable at all and invisible (unless I hover it on top another structure/furniture). Selecting/placing other building does not relieve this, although restarting the game 'might' fixes this. Another side note, I didnt expect Infestation on my plain base, but it does under the column.

Getting this error spamming log endlessly when selecting. Can no longer place columns. https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/4daf58c3d8a47f68573da217e50ee83e

I'm not sure if I messed something up but I can't seem to place the columns anywhere?
It only shows them when they're over a wall or any other object.

Your mod has been a welcome addition for my colonies' hangars and missile silos.
I was wondering if you'd be willing to allow for placing the columns closer? I'd like to have ship landing beacon zones under retractable roofs, and with their usable minimum area of 7x7, being able to have your columns in the borders of the landing zones would allow having multiple zones next to each other to save space.
Checking for overlap, option for expanding to less than 6, option to select from 4 corners to expand to? How many coffees is this gonna cost me? Why is my bottom itchy?

It make sense for the airdock mod, but like you said very niche for a column on a ship. Can't really think of an in game use for a sos2 ship column that had an adjustable roof. Now if sos2 had decompression mechanics lol we could shotgun raiders or prisoners into the thruster burn.

@GrynnReaper yes because it's specifically creating / removing the 'RoofShip' def. This mod has its own roof that it's making. I'd have to make a column (or setting) specifically to create / remove that 'RoofShip' def to get it working on SoS2 ships, not hard but also very niche. Might do it eventually.

the airdock mod has an open and close roof function that seems to work with ships
