Decay Tips

  • • Place a Tool Cupboard to prevent building decay (requires upkeep resources)
  • • Upkeep scales with building size - larger bases cost more
  • • Deployables outside TC range will decay even with upkeep paid
  • • High External walls decay quickly (8h) - consider stone or metal
  • • SAM Sites decay in just 3 hours outside!
