How to Configure Building Decay on Your Rust Server

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

3. Locate the ‘cfg’ Folder

This folder is in /home/container/server/rust/cfg.

---

4. Create a New ‘server.cfg’ File

If you already have a ‘server.cfg’ file, you can skip Steps 5 and 6 and go directly to Step 7.

---

5. Select ‘Create File’ Button at the Bottom

---

6. Enter the Name ‘server.cfg’

Enter the file name in the ‘File Name’ field as ‘server.cfg’.

Select the ‘Create File’ button.

---

7. Edit the ‘server.cfg’ File

---

8. Enter the Decay Scale

Add a new line with the command. Replace with the value you want.

decay.scale <number>

For example:

decay.scale 0.5 will reduce decay by 50%.
decay.scale 0 will disable decay completely.

9. Optional: Advanced Building Decay Settings

Each command should be added on a new line.

• decay.upkeep_grief_protection → Minutes before decay starts once the Tool Cupboard is gone. (Default: 1440 / 24h).
• decay.upkeep_period_minutes → How long Tool Cupboard resources prevent decay. (Default: 1440 / 24h).
• decay.duration_toptier → Decay time for HQM structures without upkeep. (Default: 720 / 12h).
• decay.duration_metal → Decay time for metal structures. (Default: 480 / 8h).
• decay.duration_stone → Decay time for stone structures. (Default: 300 / 5h).
