@SCE_WraithI get what you are saying about the TC pillars. But at the same time my current base we built on Scurge, we built a starter and came back and was surrounded by someone else's TC pillars basically. On top of being up against Dome. Granted that part is our fault. Maybe a start is after a week, they must come down. Most of the returning players have their footprint by then.
As for as the TC upkeep scaling, something has to be done. Sometimes you can't move because of the overcrowding from all the buildings. Many of them haven't been touched in a long time. I am sure @Deathcan find a solution that works for all. Maybe it does not ap[ply to VIP/Admins. Maybe admins can grant normal decay to players in some situations. Life does happen after all. But 15-floor twig towers, pyramids, and 200 small bases that have no activity just waste space and server resources.
But that is what the foams are for. To discuss issues and come up with ideas and solutions that help us all. I am just glad that Death listen to us.
