maybe that farm tile floor doesnt transfer enough weigh to right end, so it all end up in the middle pillar

double pillar seems to burn less brain cells

Hello, so I had the exact same question, so I experimented a bit and this is what I found out, my message isn't exact science tho lmao.

Each pillar has a bearing strength, that's the amount of weight it can carry. Wood is the best example. it has a weight of 10 and the bearing strength of the wooden pillar is 240, this means you can only carry a max of 23 wooden tiles before it reaches its limit which would be 24*10weight its 240 bearing strength. the game doesn't differentiate if the wood is being carried vertically or horizontally, structures like offensives and production have no weight. Now, when it gets interesting and I think your question was more for this, is when you add more pillars how exactly do they share the weight? so I experimented a bit, if there are two pillars involved then they will share whats between them, that means that if the floor is perfectly even, like pillar floor pillar, and you add one tile to any of the extremes, that one tile will only be carried by the respective extreme pillar, all the tiles in between will be shared by both pillar duplicating their original bearing strength. if you add a third pillar between the 2 original pillars then pillar 1 and 2 will share weight, and pillar 2 and 3 will share weight. finally if the floor isn't even I haven't cracked it out, haha I'm not very sure how it works, like which pillars it considers connected and which doesn't but it seems that if you imagine it like water flowing from one pillar to the next, as long as the path isn't interrupted they share the weight evenly.

I think a great strat would be to figure out a foundation that works for you in a more advanced run in which your near dying. then your new run you already have your blueprint of what your trying to build up to. Great game, much fun :))
