Beams

Beams / Columns are background furniture items that provide support for Torches, and can be used as decoration. They form continuous vertical pillars when stacked. They are found naturally in Underground Cabins, and can be crafted.

Beams / Columns can be stacked from the ground, and exist in the background, providing support for suspended Torches that will not inhibit character movement. In this way, Beams / Columns provide a function similar to Trees (which also exist in the background and allow the player to suspend high Torches), but which the player can construct where they like. Where background Walls exist, Beams / Columns can also be placed in "midair", without support from below.

Despite their appearance as background Walls, Beams / Columns instead share a layer with other furniture items (like Tables, Torches, Statues, Switches, Timers, etc.), thus the two cannot share the same tile space. They can also prevent a door from opening.
