How to adjust decay on your rust server

This guide will help you set up a Decay Variables on your Rust Server.

• Stop the server and navigate to the Configuration Files using the Config Editor on Start.bat
• On the Custom Commands box you can enter any of the following commands below. They need to have a + Sign at the start and space afterwards. Eg: +decay.delay_override 2880 +decay.duration_override 2880
• Save & Exit on the Start.bat and then Start the server.

decay.bracket_0_blockcount 15 Between 0 and this value are considered bracket 0 and will cost bracket_0_costfraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_0_costfraction 0.1 Blocks within bracket 0 will cost this fraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_1_blockcount 50 Between bracket_0_blockcount and this value are considered bracket 1 and will cost bracket_1_costfraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_1_costfraction 0.15 Blocks within bracket 1 will cost this fraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_2_blockcount 125 Between bracket_1_blockcount and this value are considered bracket 2 and will cost bracket_2_costfraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_2_costfraction 0.2 Blocks within bracket 2 will cost this fraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_3_blockcount 200 Between bracket_2_blockcount and this value (and beyond) are considered bracket 3 and will cost bracket_3_costfraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.bracket_3_costfraction 0.333 Blocks within bracket 3 will cost this fraction per upkeep period to maintain
decay.debug false N/A
decay.delay_metal 0 How long should this building grade decay be delayed when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.delay_override 0 When set to a value above 0 everything will decay with this delay
decay.delay_stone 0 How long should this building grade decay be delayed when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.delay_toptier 0 How long should this building grade decay be delayed when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.delay_twig 0 How long should this building grade decay be delayed when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.delay_wood 0 How long should this building grade decay be delayed when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.duration_metal 8 How long should this building grade take to decay when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.duration_override 0 When set to a value above 0 everything will decay with this duration
decay.duration_stone 5 How long should this building grade take to decay when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.duration_toptier 12 How long should this building grade take to decay when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.duration_twig 1 How long should this building grade take to decay when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.duration_wood 3 How long should this building grade take to decay when not protected by upkeep, in hours
decay.outside_test_range 50 Maximum distance to test to see if a structure is outside, higher values are slower but accurate for huge buildings
decay.scale 1 N/A
decay.tick 600 N/A
decay.upkeep True Is upkeep enabled
decay.upkeep_heal_scale 1 Scale at which objects heal when upkeep conditions are met, default of 1 is same rate at which they decay
decay.upkeep_inside_decay_scale 0.1 Scale at which objects decay when they are inside, default of 0.1
decay.upkeep_period_minutes 1440 How many minutes does the upkeep cost last? 1440 = 24 Hours
decay.upkeep_grief_protection 1440 How many minutes can the upkeep cost last after the cupboard was destroyed?
