Spearmint Tower (*No longer Tallest tower on the ppg workshop; Displaced August 31, 2022)

---Please read the whole description before spawning it, it contain directions/settings to change---

Spearmint Tower. (Not based off any real tower.)

Standing at 603 meters with ~590 parts, it is now the tallest structure on the ppg workshop.
Now you may be thinking: 'hmm, this is a lie." Nope.

Now, I can't check the whole workshop, but after 2 days of checking (sifting through common search terms such as tower, building, tallest, tall, meters, 550 meters, 660 meters, radio tower, cell tower.) I am 95% sure it is the tallest.

Spearmint Tower breaks the record for tallest structure, displacing the previous record holder: "530 Meters fully destructible tower may be laggy" by Fleufy. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198347614522/myworkshopfiles/?appid=1118200

I'm not trying to boast, I respect Fleufy's creation, it held the record for over a year.
But Spearmint Tower is a beauty, It took me 12+ hours of work. I'm pretty sure I spent more time spawning steel structs than building it.

Knowing that construction is more difficult with increasing parts and height, I think it'll hold the record for at least a hot minute, I hope it doesn't start another "building height arms-race". Its predecessor held a lengthy reign as a feat of engineering and architecture. I hope Spearmint Tower does the same...

However I am planning a taller tower soon (shooting for 650-760 meters...) No guarantees though.
I'm not starting a kilometer (1000 meter tower) project anytime soon, but I do have ideas and sketches for one, if I ever take on the task.

It also breaks the 600 meters mark. It is freestanding (no frozen parts, no indestructible parts/cable, no steel binding to the background, you can spawn it, and it will fall down.)

NO mods needed. Completely vanilla.

---How to use---

1. Turn collisions to continuous. This sounds weird, but because this is a freestanding structure, continuous collisions will prevent the steel base from sinking into the ground due to the weight and causing the tower to collapse.
2. Use 16 iterations, I haven't tested it on any other physics settings except on 16 iterations.
3. Spawn it like any other tower (base is touching the ground, not floating.)

---Other information---
1. Theoretically, it is destructible, but as most ppg players know, large structures are finicky, and will usually "spaghettify" itself when disturbed.
2. It is made of wood and steel, I abandoned concrete and bricks in the early stages of the tower's construction, Wood is heavy, solid, and easier to manipulate imo.

---FPS estimate---
I have a meh computer (GTX 1660, Ryzen 5 2600) and I get 30-40 fps on 1080p with this structure.
