5/14 i placed a compost heap and an armored animal pen next to my base and one day later the decay state changed to abandoned and I lost both including my 4 sand reapers inside. Was wondering what caused immediate abandonment and what can be done to keep it from happening agaim

Next to your base is a relative term. Depending on the distance from your base you may have placed it in a way that gave it a very short timer. I’ve seen things placed that have 24 hours or less timers. So I have 2 recommendations for you.

  1. Always place items on foundations build a platform for whatever you are placing animal pens, map rooms, wells and alike. Ideally those foundation would be connected to your base.

  2. Build a repair hammer. It’s not just for repairs. The repair hammer while equipped will tell you the number of hours before something decays.

Plan and build accordingly.

I’ll give that a shot from now on the pen was somewhere around 20 blocks away from nearest wall/foundation.
