I honestly think that the "Stability" System was kinda horrible, like, You want me to build a huge pillar in the middle of the living room just to hold a roof piece? I find this honestly kinda unrealistic and hard to build with.

Yes, it is unrealistic. Clearly diagonal support is a thing and its actually stronger than pure up/down. Also buttresses are a thing, and we can't do that 100% correctly either (its sorta possible, but its just a game stunt abusing the mechanics).

you don't need to loft a pole through the whole works to support a roof, though. Instead, have the strong support in your walls and build the roof from the walls up, and it will hold if you did not go too high. If you went too high, a middle support at just the top level or two will do.

You think diagonal supports are stronger than posts? Ok then...
