How to Configure Building Decay Rate on Your Rust Server

Building decay in Rust causes structures to deteriorate over time if not maintained with resources in a Tool Cupboard. Using the No Decay plugin, you can reduce or completely disable decay to make your server more casual-friendly.

Installing the No Decay Plugin

1. Download the No Decay plugin from uMod.
2. Upload the plugin file to your oxide/plugins folder. See How to Install uMod Plugins on Your Rust Server for detailed instructions.
3. Start your server to generate the config file.

Configuring Decay Settings

1. Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and select your Rust server.
2. Click the Files tab.
3. Navigate to the oxide/config folder.
4. Click on NoDecay.json to open it.
5. Edit the settings as needed (see below).
6. Click Save then reload the plugin:

oxide.reload NoDecay

Understanding the Config Options

The No Decay plugin uses multipliers to control decay rate for different building tiers and entities.

Example Configurations

Disable all decay:

{
  "twigMultiplier": 0,
  "woodMultiplier": 0,
  "stoneMultiplier": 0,
  "sheetMultiplier": 0,
  "armoredMultiplier": 0,
  "deployablesMultiplier": 0
}

Keep twig decay, disable others:

{
  "twigMultiplier": 1,
  "woodMultiplier": 0,
  "stoneMultiplier": 0,
  "sheetMultiplier": 0,
  "armoredMultiplier": 0,
  "deployablesMultiplier": 0
}

Reduce decay by 50%:

{
  "twigMultiplier": 0.5,
  "woodMultiplier": 0.5,
  "stoneMultiplier": 0.5,
  "sheetMultiplier": 0.5,
  "armoredMultiplier": 0.5,
  "deployablesMultiplier": 0.5
}
