Column

Columns are passable structures primarily used to hold up roofs

Columns are capable of supporting roofing up to 6 tiles away in all directions. If a wall is destroyed or deconstructed, any unsupported roofing will instantly fall and injure any pawn below it, possibly fatally.

In this way they are similiar to walls. In comparison, they provide significantly less cover and can be walked though without even slowing a pawn down. They are also somewhat beautiful. They take significantly more resources than a wall.

Columns are built and repaired by colonists assigned to Construct. Columns construction may sometimes fail and waste the materials, more often with lower construction skill.
