(This isn't strictly true. Destroying supports drops the roof, but removing support doesn't always e.g. unroofing the attachment point does not.)

Columns are passable structures primarily used to hold up roofs

Acquisition

Columns require Stuff 20 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony) and take 750 ticks (12.5 secs) to build.

Summary

Columns can hold roofs up to 6 tiles away in all directions, like a wall. Destroying all of a roof's supports will cause it to instantly fall, injuring and possibly killing anything below. Columns also provide a minor beauty increase.

Columns can't usually be stood on, like a fence or barricade. Columns do not block LoS, can be walked through without slowing anyone down, and provide 25% cover for pawns shooting behind them.

Requirements

Columns are needed to satisfying the requirements of a ritual roomContent added by the Ideology DLC or throne room Content added by the Royalty DLC (for nobles Knight and above). If a room's requirements are not met, then colonists demanding them will become unhappy.

Analysis

For holding up the roof, it's usually better to just create a lone wall, which supports the same number of roof tiles and costs 4x less. Columns provide less cover for raiders, can be walked over, and don't block the radius of orbital trade beacons. Columns also have much less health than a wall, which can be helpful when creating a falling roof trap.

Like sandbags, barricades, and fences, columns usually prevent raiders from firing on top of them. As columns provide less cover, they have a small niche in killboxes when you can directly fire on raiders passing through. Note that, due to their decreased health, columns are easier to destroy, so should be replaced by barricades when you have enough firepower.

    		This article relates to content added by Ideology (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

    Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.
