The base decay timer needs to be increased for metal and tek

Discussion

Could this be a new year's gift to the fan base possibly? Unfortunately for me I can't play ark like I really want to. I live by myself and bills never stop. Work is a big reason I want this change. I understand the mechanic is supposed to "keep players playing" nonstop but I literally can't do that if I don't have a home to come to XD I have to take of that first. Its not fair that I have to handle real life stuff and when I get back all my hard work is gone. Iv had to figure out alternatives to keep my stuff secure till i get back. I think between thatch-stone is fine but metal and tek? The effort to make a base out of those materials should be a little bit more rewarding. I think decay timer for metal should be 25 days and tek should be 40. That way its obvious that if you cant get back online within 40 days life has gotten rough and you got things to take care of. But at the same time 40 days is more then enough time to get back online once real life is taken care of.
