Deleting parts of built structures instead of the whole thing coming apart.

[TheRealest91]

Can we please have the option to delete structures in parts. For instance I built a long bridge with stairs at the end but I want to delete the stairs and shorten the bridge just a bit instead of the whole thing collapsing.

if you build your structures with Foundations, connected to the world ... and not just a grass floor jutting out of something .... 
they rarely ever collapse and fall apart ... no matter what you delete

That's exactly it.  they have to be attached to the ground, with enough of a foundation to support them.

I had a hard time building the scaffold under my bridge it just wouldn't work so I connected to the side of the bridge and the bridge stayed up while I removed part of it. So yeah you definitely need a foundation or just made sure you have weed stem attached to it because weed stems keep things from collapsing. I had some stairs I made floating in mid air because I had weed stems built with it lol.

I've watched videos and streams of so many people having trouble with their constructions collapsing, and they rage and scream and make posts here in the forums .... 

But they ALL make the same mistake.

I've never had anything I've built fall apart .... but then ..... I've never built anything out of Grass.

Grass is for floors, and stairs .... nothing else.

Build with Stone, Clay, and Stem. and your structure will not fall.
