This truly breaks my heart for you. I have always wished that instead of the decay mechanic that builds would become ruins with overgrowth about them. This would have made a beautiful ruin as opposed to someone else’s abundance.
Of course, that issue was long ago debated and settled. see Ruinous decay of unfueled beacons
I just was not one that agreed with James or the community here. Seeing this build vanished and not made into a ruin I think takes away from the game rather than adding to it.
