Oil refinery decay with no way of repairing

[JurasTW]

Started with ore node and decay update, oil refinery starts rapidly decaying after a day or so after placement. It's close to the base, right by the door and is used semi frequently. Having wood metal frags and even fuel while hitting it with a hammer did not do anything. Tried holding different components but to no avail.
Did i miss something in update notes or was this always a thing? Would really limit me to using monument refineries in a survival situation because the investment does not always pay up in early stages.

same I am also not sure what you need to repair. I have all the items needed. Hope you dont actually need the BP to fix it with hammer.

This was a bug a year ago that was fixed. Oil refineries were degrading even near bases.
Right now you just build it close enough to your base for it to stay healthy.
Usually you dont need a blueprint to repair things like this, so you probably need wood, metal and fuel to repair it with a hammer. But you dont really need to repair it if its in the building privelege zone.

my oil refinery is in building privilege zone and it still decays

you sure it's not too much bellow your privilege zone? because i don't see other people complaining so there is something wrong with your build.

Happens to me these days. The refinery is in the middle of the building but decaying.

it used to be because the TC was on second-third floor from the ground. Though I think they re-did the upkeep calculation multiple times over the last 3 years since this thread, so you might have a different problem right now. Still would be useful to see if other things like crates decay as well near that position, which would suggest that it is indeed out of the TC coverage. But that would usually mean that outside external walls might have problems as well, not just the oil refinery, though it does have a funny way of being more broken than other deployables.
