This piece was placed before the Outer Spiral Support naming system was started, so it got its awesome designation of Zero, which is fitting because it's a distance 0 from the Triple Splitter. It therefore gets an SSOP value of 0: SSOP0 or "Spiral Support Outer Placement 0"
This is not the first support for the Outer Spiral in terms of size or distance from either end of the Outer Spiral. It is the first support that was installed to support the Outer Spiral.
This piece fell from the sky into Reversible Guy's hand because he needed it at that moment to add the Caret Splitter Backboard for the Caret Splitter. To get it to fall from the sky I had to think of a reasonable explanation. There is a scene that explains it, but that scene will only be available on the DVD (or to Patreon patrons).
The Second Placed Outer Spiral Support stands by the
Snake Plate U-Turn Berm and next to the arch over The First Track exit.
It was placed by Reversible Guy
who caught the upper end which
G Choppy cut off.
That upper end became the Third Placed Outer Spiral Support,
on the opposite side of the stage, near the Decorative Walls after the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter
This piece stands at an angle near the Decorative Walls after the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter, and is cool because Reversible Guy kinda dropped it there without paying too much attention.
This piece is the first to not be placed at the full height it needs to be for the Outer Spiral, but will first hold the Caret Splitter Feeder and then be extended vertically a bit to hold the Outer Spiral.
This piece is installed near the lower end of Decorative Walls after the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter, near the left leg of Lower Left Side Arch.
The Fourth Placed Outer Spiral Support was glued into place near the end of the aptly named livestream Glued Fourth Placed Outer Spiral Support.
The Fifth Placed Outer Spiral Support is right at the bottom of the
Caret Splitter Right Track.
As of 10 December 2018, it has not yet glued by Mr McGlue,
but has been cut by G Choppy.

This is a bamboo chopstick next to
Caret Splitter Right Hand Side Outer Guider
This is a bamboo chopstick next to The Grand Archway, close to Caret Splitter
Bamboo chopstick placed by Mr Greene below where the misplaced piece had been.
Big Brother planted this near Decorative Walls after the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter
The Second Bridge Bridge Level 1 is a support structure for the `Second Bridge Level 1`, and was built by `Mr Greene`.
The Second Bridge will allow characters to come onto the set from the left side. All of its levels will be flat. Its entrance(s) will be off the set, out of the camera’s view. Its first level will be the same height as the stage.
I plan for the second level to be approximately twice as high, perhaps as high as the top of the Triple Splitter, or as high as the top of the Lower Zig Zag Triple Splitter Small Feeder Separator
Second Bridge Supports
The Third Arch
Bar Below Circle by Caret Splitter
The Bearing was brought in by Garinoppi, who left the switch which tells the Bearing which way (and how fast) to turn. The Bearing doesn't *always* do what its told by the switch, but it has the whole weight of the stage on its face.
This is a short segment of track that runs under the Snake Plate. It guides marbles from the Lower Zig Zag to the Right Side Small Landing Zone.

History:
2019 Dec 18: Pinky tested it as Little Brother brought up a wall to fix it.
2018 Nov: inaccessible, because the supports of the Snake Plate U-Turn Berm block marbles coming from the Lower Zig Zag.

Lowest Largest U-turn Berm is a bamboo skewer curving around the top of the Lowest Largest U-Turn. Without it, large marbles would roll right off the stage. This happened while testing, and caused a large kerfluffle!

This is a small curved track that pushes medium marbles to the left, away from the First Snake-Installed Rail.
Along with the Lower Curver off the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter, this guides medium marbles from the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter to the Front Left Medium Landing Zone.

As of 18 June 2025, this piece doesn't exist. But I can create and edit its description. wooohooo!
This is a thin bamboo rod keeping small marbles on the TSSF as it curves down toward the Triple Splitter.
This is a tongue depressor which entered the video on 4 July 2025, with Reversible Guy holding one end, and me holding the other because it was mostly off the set.
Later Candy Mama held the end and helped place the Second Lane Second Level Second Bridge First Support under it
This is a popsicle stick extending from the top of Zog to the Zog Rails Support.
It was brought onto the set by Dr Sugar who got help from Big Brother to hold it in place as Mr McGlue glued it, starting 4th July 2025
This is a tongue depressor carried in by Candy Mama who paused while carrying it to let RG pick up the supports for it. He gave one to her and then she continued to bring it in. Amazingly, RG was *also* holding the far end of this part! But wait, I thought he gave her the supports? Who was holding it then? It's a *mystery*!
This is a tongue depressor
Backpack Jack
brought in because the second level of the second bridge blocks anyone from walking in on the first lane of the first level.
Big Brother installed this piece on the Seventh Placed Outer Spiral Support
while G Choppy removed the Misplaced Piece from atop the Second Placed Outer Spiral Support and Seventh Placed Outer Spiral Support.
This is a small bamboo rail that was attached to Triple Splitter Small Feeder Lower Outer Guider until G Choppy cut the two apart.
Pinky installed this piece from the Lower Zig Zag Net back to one of the Zog Rail Ribs
These Autosticks marched onto the set starting 9 July 2025. They will be attached to the underside of Zog Sender, Zog, and Lower Zig Zag 3F.
These are distinct from Zog Rails which will be atop the Zog Rail Ribs.
Also distinct from the Zog Rails Support.
This bamboo piece was the Nineteenth Placed Outer Spiral Support debris, which Mr Greene removed from the track (as it was blocking the large green marble) and then handed to Reversible Guy for installation.
It will support the Second Lane of Second Level of Second Bridge closest to the track.
Distinct from 2l2l2b1s which Candy Mama is now holding.
After helping Reversible Guy bring in the Second Lane of Second Level of Second Bridge, Candy Mama turned briefly off camera and grabbed this bamboo support.
It will be glued by Ms McGlue as soon as Candy Mama moves off the set.
Carried onto the set by Squarehead, this piece was actually installed by Reversible Guy in late 2018, but apparently not documented until 2025.
This piece is a popsicle stick which keeps medium sized marbles on the the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter before they reach the Upper Splitter off the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter.
Not to be confused with Lower Small Medium Splitter Inner Thinner Keeper
Medium and Small marbles can go left on the Caret Splitter, which leads them to the Lowest Small-Medium Splitter.
Only Small marbles can go right from the Caret Splitter onto the Caret Splitter Right Track.
As of July 2025, I don't know how I will ensure this works. I thought a lot about it in episode 30, but realized the Outer Spiral will flow the wrong direction to make it work easily.
This is a small bent popsicle stick attached under the Caret Splitter Feeder and along the inside edge of the Caret Splitter Left Track.
Not to be confused with Caret Splitter Inner Wall, which was installed after this, but documented before.
This piece was cut from the
Seventh Placed Outer Spiral Support,
stands next to the Little Wiggly Track,
and supports the Triple Splitter Small Feeder on its lower end.
After G Choppy cut this piece to size, the remainder was used for the Eighth Placed Outer Spiral Support
This piece holds the Lower Zig Zag 2F and originally blocked Lower Zig Zag 1F from working.
Backpack Jack grabbed this piece out from the tree to place near Below Lower Zig Zag U-turn
This is a toothpick at the lower end of Zog.
It's the first rib of the
Zog Rail Ribs that will hold up Zog Rails.
This piece guides medium and small marbles onto
Caret Splitter Feeder Extension Reflection
Allows workers to reach the stage easily
