@Viruana thank you for the info I was losing my mind trying to find where to build it holy crap.

Update: They can, but it seems that you have to build a secondary column first to trick it into thinking it's stable. Then you can delete the second column and the orbital trade column will hold up the roof as intended.

The orbital trade column doesn't actually appear capable of holding up the roof of the room it's in. Source: The roof just crushed my trade column. 10/10.

Archo Column Deadlife Column Pulse Column How these three pillars are obtained, the construction list does not

ARCHO COLUMNS ARE STILL BUILDABLE.

When you have the archo cube, a colonist will pick it up and carry it around. There will be an option on their action-bar to deploy it like you would for a psycast, foam-pack, portable turret, etc...

Is there a setting I have to turn on to make the defense columns actually do anything? I've tried using them several times and they just sit there when enemies walk past, sometimes standing right next to them. They just consume power. Do I need to put ammo in them? or an ammo crate next to them? Cause so far they've done nothing but look cool. I haven't tried any of the other types.

i noticed the pillars dont trigger when escaped prisoners walk by them. i was hoping to use the stun ones to keep the prisoners in line! lol

Ah, thanks for the reply, I was confused why it wasn't there.

@David that's not a bug. You'll have to aquire it by other means.
