Agressive Building Decay is super dumb

[srt4geezer40]

Please fix immediately! Constantly repairing is lame

All building decay, tool and weapon degradation should be eliminated. It's not like we can plant trees, or grow a mine-able ore cave.

How do you finish the repair on a building. Is there a special tool beside a hammer I need? Some enemies damaged a gathering workstation and no matter what I can't figure out what's missing. No icons show. I've added all the supplies it's asked for. It just keeps saying it's missing supplies.

It just takes a hammer to repair all buildings. If it is saying you are missing supplies, you don't have one or more items it needs to repair. Try moving your mouse around to see if they show up or reload the game.

hitting Q should tell you all is needed to repair. Repairing only shows up after like hp reaches 75% too. And yeah it's all hammer to repairs.

Press Tab and on the right side are a list of all your buildings, check the box called pin on up to 5 buildings, the ones with the checkbox are damaged and need repairing, (you can also pin them by running up to a damaged building, targeting the trash pile and clicking q. Any building pinned will be the "next in queue" for builders to gather supplies (listed on your screen on the left should you wish to speed things up and get stuff aswell) and then repair these buildings.

Hammer, and whatever resources needed to repair.

It also should be stated that a recently damaged building could need say 1 rope to repair, whilst the same building left without repairs slowly accumulates how much resources are needed to repair it. Left too long and you could be replacing the building instead of repairing it.

This is definitely a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanic, tools - fine, but building, ffs I never leave the stupid village.

+1, a little rain and everything is crumbling down and even though I have 4 builders, I get my new structures take ages to be completed.

Completly agree 44+ hours in now second play through and i just feel the decay is super annoying. Trees not regrowing is something they also have to look into.

Hopefully they fix the repair durability issue, because this alone has stopped me from playing. It's just not fun. Like others have said, I can never leave my village because I am constantly repair building or making tools for people.

+1 and also the decay on arrows, makes no sense, arrows can be broken when reused but decay meter on arrow is super annoying and foolish to be honest.

What?! As in decay without being used? That is 1000x dumber than food rotting. I can understand food going bad, but arrows is just an arbitrary game mechanic to increase grind with ZERO gameplay add

Yes. And there should be no rotting of any food mats in Winter.

Building degradation should either be taken out or pushed way out after a building has been built. Having to repair a building a few hours after you just built it is just plain asshat! Same with tools, the break rate on them is crazy, slow it down please. On a game with just so much resources and no replenish coming it just doesn't make any sense why items should have to be remade over and over and over again.

No dude. That's dumbing the game down for elementary schoolers.

If you just happen to have lots of bad weather sequentially, then you will have to do a lot of rebuilding. Unfortunate, but that's what comes on the road to prosperity.

I was about to buy the game....Glad i saw this post...
