There are 2 Tags that brought me to the server, PVE and No Decay.
To me, UpKeep/Decay is a chore, and one that doesn't add any real gameplay value.
I understand this is intended to reduce the amount of large structures and abandoned property but it feels like it writes off players that are not able to commit the increased time. If I only have a few hours to play in a week, Id rather be doing the activities I want in game.
If I'm stressed about making sure my TC has supply or spend all my time doing upkeep runs, motivation to play will drop quickly.
Pipes can address the limited storage of a TC but the player will still have to spend the time to get the resources.
I know I cant commit my time consistently for a full wipe, and if my base decayed for whatever reason, that'd be where my wipe ends.
