How do I disable structure decay and auto-destroy structures?

Recommended Posts

I have attempted to disable structure decay and the auto-destroying of said structures on my private server, yet I seem to not be doing something right.  The research that I have done on this seem to be conflicting or missing information of importance.  I am honestly tried of looking.  If anyone would happen to know the correct setup for making it so that structures are only destroy-able by hand(menu) or damage, I would greatly appreciate your help in providing that information.

Since you mention damage I'm assuming you're on a PVP server.

PvPStructureDecay  = false in gameusersettings.ini

 

DisableStructureDecayPvE = true i believe for PVE.  same place

Actually I have the server set to PVE.  Would setting it to pvp disable decay and auto-destroy for structures?  I have both of those setting that you mention set that way now but thatch, greenhouse and a few other items, both vanilla and mods, seem to still disappear after about 4 days.

 

Edit: I just noticed there is a small "b" in front of DisableStructureDecayPvE in the GUS.INI settings in the server configuration files.  Should that not be there?

no, shouldn't be there. 

Oh, well, hm.  Then that may very well solve my issue.

 

Forgive me for asking for a mile after you have already given me such a good inch but if you wouldn't mind taking a look at my settings perhaps you can shed some light on things for me.  Below is my GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini file.   In both of these there are a small "b" in front of several settings.  I don't think I put them there unless of course by accident but do none of them server a purpose and perhaps even make those setting null or worse cause unintended issues?

I was wrong.  It should have a b in front of it. 

Brings up the question, where are you editing the ini files? 

/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/GameUserSettings.ini
This is the location you should be editing. 

Correct.  The host I use, Host Havoc, has a control panel that has this.

this MAY override the other one. I'd try removing it. 

I read something about that as well at one point but the post mentioned changing the date of the game file or something to that effect because they said the line just kept coming back after they had removed.  I was a bit lost at that point.  That said, I assume just removing it and then saving and starting the server should suffice?

I'd go ahead and try it.  be sure to save your ini files to your desktop first.  I do know if your launch command doesn't match the values in your ini, the ini is overwritten.  Always nice to save a copy just in case something goes wrong.

Alright, I give that a try.  Hopefully it works out.  Thank you for the assistance.

That depends on where you rent your server. For far as i know in the server console there are options to choice from. I rent from nitrado and i can set all parameters i want and i think that also the case with other servers
