You can use the two angled wood beams to protect things from rain damage, since these items appear to be classified as "roofs" so they don't take damage and will protect whatever is underneath it.

However, it doesn't work for the brazier or fires. Fire seems to go out from rain based upon whether it is classified as "sheltered" versus just covered by a roof piece.

Just an example of using the angled wood pieces. This structure suffers no rain damage and protects the non-roof pieces below it.

Maybe they should cut that decay in half. It's that... Metal takes a loooong time to decay in real life, so for gameplay purposes it makes more sense for it to decay faster. Still, you should try keeping your iron and wood structures sheltered.

Would also like to see iron bars act more like... you know... thin bars with holes in between. Like allowing smoke to pass through, and allowing players to shoot through the bars.

They've stated this would be incredibly difficult to program into the game. I understand the disappointment but don't get your hopes up.

It calls decay damage , if anything than rock walls have not a roof above will take wather/decay damage
But looks like iron damage with rain its a realistic one haha

I'm not saying I know how to program it, but it seems like they would need to add some code to certain items that allows smoke particles or projectiles to pass through.

I'm not asking for zero damage, just... one rainstorm shouldn't bring anything to below 50% health. Maybe 10% per storm, max. Must have been an acid rainstorm though maybe?
