Decay in this game happens way too fast. I gave the game another chance right before it launched on Steam, and in 2 days made a huge house. I had school and work the next day so I didn't get to play, I come back and my house and everything in it was gone. Literally maybe 37 hours or so. This is too quick. People complain about there being too many little kids, it is because, you have people like me who have to work and if I go to work and come back to Rust and have no home, then I don't even want to waste my time with the game. Not everyone can play everyday. I am 18 years old, I have a job and I have class, I can't keep rebuilding my house every damn day. Please fix this or this game will be just a bunch of prepubescent 15 and younger kids playing because people who have jobs can't play.
I love Rust so I am not talking down on the game. Don't tell me the game is in alpha or beta or in development or whatever, I don't care. They have tweaked decay before and it was no issue. Please fix this, I am sure I am not the only one so If you have experienced this comment below so the devs will realize this needs to be fixed.

at least from what the wiki has stated;
decay starts from the top and works down, so building a little above your structure will improve it's life.
also you can repair structures by right clicking with the associated material. (wood/metal)
edit: also note there has been 2-3 wipes since release on steam.

u cant repair fundations and pillars

That still doesn't help the guy who is at work and class all day. I don't even think you read the post did you? I am at work all day hence I can't come home to get on Rust and repair the house, that means the house disappears because of decay. That means I come home to nothing. That means I can't repair nothing. Dude. learn to read before you reply.
Edited:
Reply to your edit. If you read, once again and clearly you didn't. I said right before the launch on Steam. There was no wipe. i know this because I had all my shit.
-
Thats almost impossible, are you sure the world whipe didnt remove your house ? did you built the house after or before the whipe ?
-
from my experience, a house does not decay in a single day. (in fact, the structure i've had up for the last 3 days is still standing fine.)
unless you're building a wood shelter or a house of barricades, this shouldn't have happened.
edit:
it should also be noted there was a server wipe, but not an inventory wipe, shortly before transition in to steam.(2-3 days beforehand)
it caused me a bit of a headache, as it made me believe inventory and learned recipes would become accountbound instead of serverside.
-
Decay is fine to stop it all you need to do is log into your char and open a door use a campfire and it resets well thats from my understanding that takes 2-3 mins max.
I understand people have busy lives but if you want to keep your building then thats what you need to do.

3 Friendīs Houses decayed, in 30 hours more less this last weekend. 1 House completed disapeared (Foundation and Pillars too), others 2 just left the foundation and 4 pillars in one, and 2 pillars in the other. We constructed our houses after the steam release, and the last wipe at MCM US 1. All together, my house was fine, but the other 3... poof.
I really think the decay time is very fast too, and there is nothing to us to control it, like something to check the "life" of the structure without spend a material.
-
Unfortunately that's just how rust is meant to be played at the moment. It's one of the most "hardcore" survival games out there. If you aren't in a clan/have active friends to play with the game is just unforgiving and even unfair. Even if you manage to play 4-5 hours a day , if a huge group comes to your house that has tons of C4 and fully geared people there NOTHING you can do to defend your house.
I agree on decay being a little too fast. But in the time you're not playing , while your house decays you have a lot of chance to get raided. There is hope tho; Static defenses for bases have been confirmed , not sure how this is going to help you defend from really active clans/groups but hey it's a start.

If you aren't active enough to come on the game for 5 min every two days and repair your things then you shouldn't be playing this game.
-
pretty sure you got bumfucked by c4 dupers or a wipe, if you had a huge house it wouldn't have disappeared in that time. a one square house, sure, that might've decayed.
only a coupe of days ago there was a dupe patch, don't know how long it was ingame before that though.
-
Yah this game will be super hardcore when there are only 10 year olds left playing because people have jobs. And yah a house will decay in like 30-40 hours which is retarded. This needs to be fixed.
Edited:
Also there was no wipe. My neighbors house was still in tact and I had all my stuff. Stop saying their was a wipe. There wasn't.
-
yhea sometimes i have that too
1 day no playing and poff house is gone
-
There has been two wipes since Rust went to steam.
-
False , there was a wipe 3 days ago when the game was allready on steam.

READ THE POST! I said BEFORE it launched on Steam.
Edited:
Alright swagmaster faggot. Have fun when the game is left with just ten year olds because all the adults who played Rust quit because the house kept disappearing.

Thinking about this from a server stability standpoint, I think it's fine as is. If the structures stayed longer, the whole map would be cluttered, which would most likely strain the server even more then it already is with the chaos that ensues on it.
-
They did wipe the server do to dupe cheaters, but yes we had a neighbor whos house literally decayed over a day and a half. No one raided it or C4'd his place. He built it friday not, spent saterday in RL and we all watched his house literally fall apart in front of us. Sunday he came back to pillars and foundation. All walls toast.
-
If you have a friend that lives next to you, just build an extra door onto the house and have him open and close it once a day, problem solved.
-
I don't play with 10 year olds, my friends have jobs too.
Edited:
I am not saying to keep it forever. I am saying to extend it longer than 30 hours.

I don't see how me saying I am an adult who has a job is raging. But okay. These dumbass kids need to read the post before replying.
-
The problem isn't that things decay too fast, it's that it's all a mystery and very unclear, and the repair mechanic is very finicky to say the least. Some walls I can repair, where others I can't seem to target to do so. Same with doors and metal shards.
An easy solution, and this is most likely probably already planned (it is alpha afterall), every building piece in the world (like doors) should have ownership, and when you look at the door, wall, crate, etc, it should show health next to the circle along with current health, with the option to repair as is done now (and have it actually work all the time)
-
That would be nice. But my issue still stands.. I have a job and I am not home to repair my home. Sometimes I am away from my computer a day or so at a time. I think 3 Real time days seems fair for decay.
-
True, but only once it's understood and illustrated how to upkeep a house could a fair time to decay be established.
-
Agree
18 years an adult...
I have 42 years, a job, a wife, kids, I play alone and I have no problems to connect 5 minutes every days to stop decay !
You don't work 24hours/24hours...
It's not a game for casual gamers !
-
Remember, you're testing, not playing. Losing your base after not testing for 24 hours is a good punishment.
-
Made me lol
-
I thought the same thing when I came back after skipping a day on MCM US 1. It was decay, but after noticing the many wood storage boxes strewn upon the ground outside of my structure. It was apparent that this was duping of c4, not decay. I hope that Valve will limit duping and hacking, if not remove it from the game completely. After all, this can be a great game.
-
Well I have school and a full time job, i get 5 hours of sleep a night. If you are 42 you should probably stop playing videogames. lolAgree

You're so mature
-
BLASPHEMY! One is never too old for games sir. That's like saying your grandmother is too old to be watching reruns of her favorite TV shows from the 50s.
-
I notice your age isn't on your profile you are probably like 14.
-
Every reply you make shows of you're not an adult even tho you're 18 years old. Being 18, 28, 38 or 100 doesn't make you an adult. It's the mindset that makes you mature. You can't even comprehend that 40+ year old people are just like you and me except they have (not always tho) more responsibilities(kids, house, wife). But please keep insisting you're an adult because you work full time and sleep 5 hours a day (lmao).
-
If thats how you truly feel and where this game is headed, then there should be a warning before buying "Warning: Daily log-ins required to maintain self-built buildings."Agree

That being said
I hope decay isn't quite so bad once "released." Not to mention there should be no punishment anyway for "not testing." We paid for this "testing phase." OP has played and is providing feedback. He shouldn't be "punished" because he doesn't log in every single day.
-
Oh okay, so I should be punished for helping fund the game, reporting shit tons of bugs and I was one of the original people who recommended the work bench. Punishment. Really dude? I have to work to make money. I had to work to buy this game. I wasn't like you. I didn't have mommy and daddy buy it for me.
-
I think you're missing the point. The alpha stage isn't released for your personal enjoyment primarily, it's released for the developers' aid primarily. If things seem off and even frustrating, welcome to a tester's world. I've tested several mods and even an actual game in alpha stages and they've been frustrating as all hell, often making me lose hours of progress for an error in the game. That's how it is, they fix it one by one. Acting like an immature brat in the thread won't give you any faster results, I shouldn't need to remind you of this since you are an adult.
Sure, the decay rate could be changed and it most likely will. However if you find it absolutely unplayable as of now find something else to do with what little time you have until they release a patch that changes it. It really is quite simple, mulling over something like this is a waste of time for anybody.
-
They have tweaked the decay rate before and it isn't hard for them to do. I stated this in the Original Post.
