Decay rate should be fixed. Don't see where the argument started. I had stashes with c4 that decayed in a matter of days ;/

If you so much as open a box or a door, or a campfire or furnace is on, or there is any activity in a house at all it will not decay ( by you or anyone else )

Wood
-Decay 'grace period' 24 hours
-Each 'level' of the house (top to bottom) ~3 hours to decay

Metal
-Decay 'grace period' 48 hours
-Each 'level' of the house (top to bottom) ~12 hours to decay


This means a 3 story wood house from the moment there is no activity would take approx. 36 hours for it to completely disappear (including foundations) but as long as you did anything within a 24 hour period it wouldn't need repairs at all.

A metal house of the same dimensions would take approx. 96 hours ( 4 days ) to decay


Please suggest some alternate timings if you wish

They have tweaked the decay rate before and it isn't hard for them to do. I stated this in the Original Post.

My reply still stands. The decay rate most likely will be changed (again) at some point in the future, so it's just a matter of patience.

I would like maybe 48 hours for walls and like 56 hours for foundations. That's up to you though. I do feel like the people who have class and jobs are almost discouraged to playing this game. I would like not to get on a single day and have my house still be there. I don't mind every other day joining in and starting a campfire and opening a couple doors, and replacing some metal doors that might be blown down. I hate joining in to play after playing for like 6 hours to get a house built just a day earlier, to be confronted with no home.
