Interior Pillar
Icon Block Interior Pillar

Category: Structural
Status: Functional

Fits large ship and station
Mass: 160 kg

Data Controls: [edit] [purge] (?)

The Icon Block Interior Pillar Interior Pillar is a block in Space Engineers. It is used externally on some Pre-Built Ships as a narrow strut connecting Solar Panels to the main structure of the ship.

The Interior Pillar is composed entirely of iron. Due to iron's relative abundance, this might make it a lower priority when salvaging ships.

Building uses[]

If aesthetics aren't important, the more robust armor blocks are usually used instead of pillars for real structural support.

Interior Pillars are thinner than all other blocks and present a light-weight contrast to the heavier look of other blocks. They can be used literally as pillars inside buildings, visually holding up Steel Catwalks and such, or to decorate a wide but still sturdy-looking hallway within a ship or station.

On space stations and ships, Interior Pillars help hold fragile solar arrays together, or they help physically separate Decoys from the main ship.

A row of Interior Pillars looks like a support chain, a taut wire, or steel cable. You can use them for visually holding up a suspension bridge, or as visual supports that are counter-balancing protruding parts of a space station, and much more. "Visual", because they do not really provide much support in game terms, so make sure the structure is static, and already sturdy without them. You are not limited to placing them orthogonally along the grid, you can "stretch the cable" at any angle if you attach both ends to angled Hinges. (To connect the second end: Add a hinge head to the cable end, remove the second hinge head, and reattach the new head to the hinge.)

Similarly, you can use Interior Pillars to stand in as "hanging" chains in planetary bases with gravity, to visually hang lights or other blocks from the ceiling.
