🏗️ War Servers – Structure Decay Update
Posted by Warillions on Oct 18, 2026 7:20pm
In an effort to reduce memory usage, improve server performance, and keep our ARK maps running smoothly, we will be implementing a 15× structure decay timer across all servers.
This change will help clean up abandoned bases and structures from inactive players while still giving everyone plenty of time to return to their builds.
New Structure Decay Timers:
Thatch: 60 days (2 months)
Wood / Adobe: 120 days (4 months)
Stone: 180 days (6 months)
Metal: 240 days (8 months)
Tek: 300 days (10 months)
These timers are intended to give active players more than enough time to maintain their bases while gradually clearing out abandoned structures that consume server resources.
Our goal is to improve long-term server stability without negatively affecting our active community.
Thank you for helping us keep War Servers running smoothly!
