What happens when I pull the support?
Where/how does the plug end up?

It's probably made from baby bone, with a handle of baby leather. Probably uses the leg bones wound together for the handle, the pelvis for the handle/pick joint, and the pick is the spine.

But that's all in theory, of course. Not like I've made a pick out of my own 5 month old baby before.

AFAIK Everything should drop to the lowest level until it encounters a supporting tile. You'll end up with solid rock, so if you're hoping for an empty space I don't think you'll get it.

That said, try it and see. Savescum if you must.

My experience is also 'Compress each x-y column independently and fully along the z-axis until it meets firm support'.
I.e. the expected endresult would become.
