what the hell auto decay on a metal pillar i built lastnight for auto turrets i lost 2 turrets and around 2,400 ammo wth!!!

[MEEKER]

why would something auto decay in less than a day im on an official server

[KitsuneShiro]

I think lone structures decay faster. They need to be connected.

Unsnapped foundations/pillars decay in 12 hours.

[MEEKER]

i have starting on a metal base with just foundations and they have been there for 4 days and they havent auto decayed and i had another pillar i had in the back of my compound that was there for 6 days with no auto decay i put one up lastnight and loaded both turrets and just now they both auto decayed at the same time when they were built nearly a week apart from each other and my foundations are still in the other location

[MEEKER]

and all of my plant x are dead ive had them for more then 2 weeks with the same system with out a problem watered them before i left for work this morning

Had 2 foundations connected with a bed on, auto decayed within 12 hoursish.

Like this it also seems to be a bit random. Had the same foundations down several days without spawning on it. Definitely spawned on it the one day and within a day it had gone.

I'm not understanding how it just randomly decays i also had thatch foundations that i used to tame with just the petal on it that took around a week or two to decay, i have another wooden fence foundations that have still yet to decay i put around a stego and demolished the walls only but, a metal pillar decays in 12 hours after building it.. that were buillt compeletly opposite time from eachother with me lossing out and tons of matrials and could of had my base raided

WC expects you to glue your ass to the pc 24/7

more reason to avoid official and never play on it

Yeah that reminds me, made a wall using metal pillars, 3 on top of each other. Probably about 30k ingots worth. Whole lot of them just auto decayed WHILE ACTUALLY PLAYING AT THAT BASE throughout the day.

The default decays are
Any solo structure (no matter what its build from) 12 hrs, this was to try to stop pillar spam...Does not work so well.

Thatch = 4 days
Dinos = 7 days
Wood = 8 days
Stone = 12 days
Metal = 16 days

The timer only resets when you enter the draw range...so if you play in the one spot for 12hrs, pillars can decay in front of you. You have to leave the area and come back to reset the timer.

WC used to define a solo structure as a single block\item, now its anything that is less then 4

Ty for the info.
