Something to consider if you take breaks on Single-Player: turn decay off on both buildings and followers. It’s not like your buildings bother anyone else there.
I would’ve imagined that’s the default option on Single-Player anyway, but I’m not sure because it has been a long time since I last started from scratch.
I can respect not wanting to cheat with admin commands. That’s how I play too. If I lose something due to my own mistakes or lack of preparation, that’s on me to replace. (In your case, I’d also accept my responsibility of losing things to decay if the reason was a server setting I could’ve changed but didn’t.) But if something disappeared due to a bug and wasn’t reliably replaceable, I’d at least consider admin-spawning it. As an example, I added a weapon modification to a Blade of the Adventurer some time ago, and the whole sword ended up vanishing without a trace or explanation. In the end I decided not to admin-replace it because the sword wasn’t essential.
