The King
The King's Statue is a decoration object found in the blocks section in Medieval Engineers that can also be used as an attack target for barbarians. It can also be used for messing with the game's physics...
The Physics
Normally in Medieval Engineers, if you have structural integrity on, you can only build around 15 blocks of stone before it crumbles under its own weight.

But if you build a pillar of stone blocks on top of the King's Statue, structural integrity glitches out and you can continue building for an infinite height, causing only minor stress on all the blocks.

And when I say infinite, I mean infinite. Until you hit the build limit of course;
The Fun
Now that you know this glitch, let's think of some fun things to do with it:

Idea #1 - Shoot the King Statue at the bottom with a projectile:

*10 second freeze*

Now watch as 80% of the pillar is instantly turned to dust:

Which then causes the rubble the game didn't remove to fall from the sky:

And if you do this in or near a forest, it will chop down all the trees:

Idea #2 - Have a barbarian hit the king statue:

Then watch them run from impending doom:

Idea #3 - Place barbarians on top of the pillar:

Then shoot them with projectiles:

Or even better, combine idea #2 with #3:

Then go to the surface and watch it rain barbarians:


Conclusion
Thanks for taking your time to read this guide! This is my first steam guide, so tell me what you think or tell me if I should do more!

You can also build a small support using the wooden beams, and build the stone on top as a dynamic object. Structural integrity doesn't appear to work with dynamic objects.
