Unfortunately, I'm far too lazy for that. My apologies.
Nice addon to industrial part of map game...

Did some tests and figured out that having isEdifice turned off is the cause, but it's necessary for the function of being able to have things built under it. You'll have to rely on building a wall where you need a roof created, then add in the support beams to replace the wall. Wish I knew enough to be able to fix the issue.
Doesn't work for me. Built some marble support beams to replace a couple of walls, but once the walls were deconstructed, the roof they had been holding up collapsed in the middle. Also tried building support beams directly under that spot before deconstructing the walls, but the roof still collapsed ignoring the support beam directly under it...

Updated the mod. Should work properly in all respects now. Unfortunately, constructables can no longer exist beneath them. However, you can still move pawns through them, store items below them, and grow plants under them. Thank you for your feedback and I apologise for the inconvenience.
v1.1 works as advertised.
thanks for sharing the mod.

Look at the bridges, it may be helpful

Floors can't be compared to walls. With a wall, it must be able to hold up a roof, unlike floors. In order to hold up a roof, a wall must have isEdifice set to true. If isEdifice is set to false, it could be placed anywhere (even on water). However, doing so causes the wall to fail to hold up a roof (which is really bad). Floors have it easy, in my opinion.
The stone-looking bridge near the top in that mod's preview picture can indeed hold up a wall. You might be able to make a 'water pilings' or some other term for a support meant for things that cross water using a similar, or the same method.

That mod has a dll they coded, which is where that functionality likely comes from. My mod only uses Defs, which can be modified with a text editor. If I knew C++ or a similar language, then I'd be able to do something more complicated. Unfortunately, my coding knowledge is limited to Lua.
Holy shit how did I even played without this?
Awesome mod!
Yes this is a pretty good mod. Thanks for the hard work.
Heya, will there be an update for B18? Or is this usable just by changing the target version number? Thanks!

To answer your first question, no there will not be an update. Circumstances currently prevent me from using a computer. I will strive to update (and potentially improve) this mod when and if my situation allows. As for your second question, I'm unsure if this mod will work on the new version of the game as I've not seen the new version yet. I thank you for your interest and hope to get back to you with good news at some point.
Thanks for getting back to me so fast! No rush updating yeah, take your time. Hope all goes well for you.
Hey Vectricity,
I edited the Def files a little and it seems to work fine in A18 and I changed it to let you build and place items under the support beam texture as well.
Are you fine if I upload this for everyone else?
The author wasn't on the forum since last november.
I think it is Ok if you create on own thread with the download link, and ofcouse credits/link to this post.

You have my consent. On that note, I won't likely continue supporting this mod due to personal circumstances. My apologies for not having taken any actions regarding this mod. Anyone who wishes to utilize the contents of this mod and publish alterations has my permission. I hope you will manage to do far more than I have with it. Thank you.

Hate to be "that person" but any chances of seeing this version of the mod for B19 since the blessing has been given...? Even if it has to be remade to do so? :)
Is there an updated version of this mod? Or something that does the same thing? Thanks.
This mod has now been updated. Please notify me if there are any issues. Thank you.

If people wish to find this mod, they can search specifically for it. I appreciate the suggestion, however. Thank you.

I've addressed this question previously, but I shall do so again. I have no intention of releasing this mod on Steam. That said, if someone else wants to do so, they are fully permitted.
lol im surprised that no replies so far to this mod...
so any known incompatibilities or bugs??
im wondering if this mod is compatible also with roof support (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32776.0)??
both do the same function, but in a different method.... i use currently roof support, but it looks weird on my walkways, and support beams seems to be the mod im looking for

No bugs that I am aware of. This mod simply adds a new object that behaves similarly to a wall. If there were to be incompatibility, then it would likely involve the use of "Custom8" for the "linkFlag". What this means is that any other mod that assigns an object to "Custom8" will chain to a support beam when placed adjacent to one.

Based on a cursory overview of the mod you've referenced, it would appear that we use the exact same method.
Just downloaded it to be sure, and I can confirm that we use the same method. There are, however, minor differences, but nothing significant. That said, your interest is greatly appreciated. Should you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to voice them. Thank you.
