Most types of wood decay when exposed to the rain and water. You can't turn off this aspect of the game. You can prevent wood materials from decaying by ensuring it has a roof over it or by affixing it to stone.

Mind, wood will generally not decay in the mountain biome owing to the fact it does not rain there. Wood materials will not decay below 50% health from weathering.

with the ashlands update you can build a new magic shield. this shield will keep ALL weather effects away from your base.

no more farming in the rain. no more fog inside your house.

downside : requires fuel to keep running.

upside : the fuel is BONES.

Yes, you can mod the game if you like - but you can also progress to the penultimate biome to unlock tech to prevent weathering. Since mods can and will break with every patch to the production build, if you are hyperfocused on a large-scale build that can potentially interrupt your plans.

Up to you if you want to mod, deal with the in-game weather effects, and/or play through to Ashlands.

or just use a rainproof material for building....plenty available.

With the new update I think that the force field you place will keep your structures from decaying due to rain. Correct me if i'm wrong.

certain "overlapping" builds or intergration of angled parts can stop decay from happen
