I think I fixed it, I had to rearrange the iron supports in the picture, add a another ring of them closer to the middle, and knock a layer of bricks off the dome, but it seems to be holding now. Fingers crossed.

did you have trees around your base that are no longer there? or raised or lowered the terrain?
Sadly no, the whole dome structure completely collapsed, the pic I got was from right before the whole thing fell. Also no, I hadn't been doing any terrain manipulation before this.

On thing to keep in mind is as you place pieces it takes time for the game to calculate the structural integrity. So if you build or place pieces fast they may show green but change to red after some time as it calculates things.
Seems weird that it would take so long for it to calculate, it stood for about 3 in-game days before anything started to break, and that was after the rain started falling. Only thing I was doing before the rain started was attaching some supports to the outer walls for decoration.

Should've known not to trust Haldor's "special discount," on lumber...
