Zeph would appreciate this. Seems like such a simple fix.

It's easier just to place the column then a temp ceiling and then place a ceiling above that one. Then destroy the temp. Most of my base was built this way.

Pillars then temp ceilings and then place real ceiling over it. easy peasy

Make sure you do the whole thing first with the temp ceilings so your whole floor plan is the same height.

How do you keep your pillars lined up if you place them before the ceilings?

Sure, but unless you're using the method in that video, your pillars will clip through the ceiling when you build out horizontally before building vertically. The goal is to get a flush look, which is hard to do (at least for me) when building down.

Just put a temp ceiling first then the real one just above it. It will hide the pillar. You only need the temp ones on the rows. Once you have tops on ones will snap between them. Don't remove any temps until it is all done.

Ahh yeah, makes sense. Will give this a try when we go to build our vault room.
