PC I need to @%$# about this.

Condolences on your build.

Reinforcing stilt tower type POIs is very challenging.  My best recommendation is to add additional support pillars/blocks from ground level all the way to the floor area where you live in to help prevent such unexpected collapses.

Might not be the most immersive looking design but will save you alot of heartache in the future.

That would be nice but also unhelpful in this particular case since he was subtracting a block instead of adding a block. How could the game cue the player that the block they are about to remove is the lynchpin of their entire base....?

You could have an additional sound that is triggered when you hit. Basically using the same "collapsing through floor/creaking" sound in addition to the hit sound. This would give the impression additional blocks are counting on it's support. The additional sound would be triggered by that blocks state being stress point. This would work if the fun pimps model which points of a building are under the most stress like a bridge builder sim. If not, then it wouldn't work.
