After the latest update, it seems that I can no longer disable building abandonment on my PVP server. Our community is mostly RP and we do not have the time to repair our large structures. How can I disable this feature now that the option is removed from my server settings?! ---

Shut down your server. Go here: `\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Config\DefaultServerSettings.ini` Set the following to True: `DisableBuildingAbandonment=True` Start up your server. I think they couldn’t apply a proper fix to buildings being destroyed when decay was re-enabled, so they simply removed the option to change this in-game. Seems lazy to me, but I’m no developer. ---
