Questions for Bobs The Builders
I'm really inspired by screenshots or artwork people post in steam, or even seeing buildings from other games, either in terms of like individual buildings or a town/village.
I want to ask, do you people use mods to help you with structural strength?, more so when we are considering purely wooden builds. Do you feel that the base game structural strength when it comes to the various types of wood you could build with is to be increased?.
Generally I'm looking for tips & helps with buildings the more I go up in elevation, the wider they get (which affect that earlier one), roofs too which is the most problematic thing imp. I hope you guys aren't having the trouble I going through thee name roofs.

I do not use any mods and my last build was a very tall stone tower. The support system is pretty good as-is; ironwood beams let me make the tower, no other gimmicks, and you can exploit trees, terrain, giant rocks, and such to take it even higher.

and you can build off stone as if ground with wood, so could have added another several stories of wood to this but I wanted rock and its already more space than I will ever use.

If you are having problem with a specific build, post a pic for help. Also highly recommend looking through the build of the month thread, which has lots of nice work in it. A lot depends on how high or how wide.
One thing to do is to build low on the ground first if want to work out the spans, less falling and easier to get to. Just raise it 1m off ground. Try burying the corewood a little into ground by hoeing up after placed the grid. So much is trial and error. Eventually your first build you are proud of will look like a dud.
For timber also remember you can clad stone for more height, double skin the stone to hide it.

I play vanilla.
wood has it's limitations, you're only gonna get SO high. corewood beams that touch the dirt at the bottom is as strong as you're gonna get at this stage. it's about the number of pieces away from the ground a given piece is. if you put a vertical pole in the ground then attach 2 walls vertically and put a roof piece on, you'll notice that the roof piece color is better than if the roof piece were merely attached to the two wall pieces only. because it's touching the corewood, it's only 2 pieces away from the ground as opposed to 3. apply this principal to your building decisions and you'll be good.
