All Will Fall Structural Stability Guide – Block Stats Explained

There’s a moment in All Will Fall where everything looks perfectly fine… until it suddenly isn’t. One weak connection, one bad angle, and your entire structure folds like paper.

This guide breaks down how the stability system actually works, so you can stop guessing and start building structures that hold.

How Structural Stability Works

At its core, the system is based on three things:

• Weight (mass)
• Support capacity
• Lever force (angles)

The game doesn’t calculate stability per block. Instead, it evaluates layers of blocks as a whole, which is where most players get confused early on.

Grid, Blocks, and Overlays

Before getting into advanced mechanics, you need to understand the basics:

• The game uses a 0.5m grid
• Blocks are placed in 1m increments
• Every block has a voxel-based hitbox

Important Overlays

You should actively use these:

• Structural Stress Overlay: shows how close parts are to failing
• Voxel Overlay: shows block hitboxes
• Socket Overlay: shows connection points

Best practice:

• Keep overlays on “show for selected”
• Switch stress overlay to always on when testing builds

Connections and Sockets

Blocks connect through sockets, and these are critical.

• Each face can have multiple connection points
• Up to 4 sockets per 1m² face
• Some blocks have fewer depending on shape

Simple Rule

If it looks like it shouldn’t connect, it probably doesn’t.

Block Stats Explained

Every block has two key stats:

• Weight → how much load it adds
• Support per socket → how much it can carry

Important detail:

• Weight is always constant
• Support is affected by lever force

Layers

A layer is a group of blocks treated as one unit.

Blocks form a layer if they:

• Touch each other
• Are the same type
• Are the same distance from a foundation

Even a single block can be its own layer.

Why Layers Matter

• Stability is calculated per layer, not per block
• You can strengthen builds by shaping layers strategically

Foundations

Foundations are simple but crucial:

• They do not require support
• They act as the base layer
• Everything depends on them

If your structure fails, it’s usually because the layers above are poorly supported relative to the foundation.

Lever Force (Why Your Builds Collapse)

This is the system that causes most failures.

It depends on the angle between:

• Center of mass
• Center of support

Key Behavior

• Vertical alignment (0° or 180°) → best stability
• Horizontal alignment (90°) → worst stability

At 90°:

• You can lose up to 80% of support capacity

What This Means

• Flat horizontal builds are weak
• Slight angles dramatically improve strength
• The further from 90°, the better

Why Shape Matters

Not all blocks behave the same.

Non-cube shapes:

• Have offset centers of mass
• Naturally avoid perfect 90° angles
• Handle horizontal stress better

This is why “ugly” or angled builds often outperform clean flat ones.

Practical Building Tips

If you only remember a few things, make it these:

• Build vertically whenever possible
• Avoid long flat bridges made of cubes
• Use angles to reduce lever force
• Always check socket connections
• Think in layers, not individual blocks

Advanced Tricks (High-Level Play)

Once you understand the system, you can start bending it.

1. Layer Manipulation

Large, well-shaped layers can outperform smaller “perfect” builds because stability is calculated across the entire layer.

2. Socket vs Stability Trade-Off

Sometimes it’s better to:

• Use fewer sockets
• But reduce lever force

This can result in stronger structures overall.

3. Block Shape Exploits

Certain non-cube blocks can:

• Fit in unusual ways
• Create extra support efficiency
• Improve stability beyond expected limits

4. Multi-Layer Support Quirk

When supported by multiple layers:

• The game may calculate support from one layer only, not an average
• This can lead to uneven stability

You can use this to extend bridges further than expected by carefully placing connections.

Example Insight: Wooden Bridges

Despite their low stats, wood structures can go surprisingly far.

With proper layering and angles:

• You can bridge massive gaps
• Even up to extreme lengths

The key is not the material, but how you distribute force and connections

All Will Fall doesn’t reward perfect-looking builds. It rewards understanding how weight, layers, and angles interact.

Once you stop building “flat and clean” and start building with structure in mind, everything changes. Bridges stretch further, towers stand taller, and collapses become rare instead of constant.
