I'm not going to use dev commands in my game.

Yeah just leave it until you get done and put up a roof. Anything covered by a roof won't degrade. Anything that does degrade will just go down 50% and stop there with the weathered look.

I know a roof prevents degradation, but the project was too large to put up a roof suddenly. The project was also large enough that finding every piece of wood was a nuisance. I have since completed the project and thankfully it did not rain until it was complete.

Put up the support beams and the roof tiles first. Then if it rains the only thing you have to repair is the uncovered support beams if it rains before you have all the roof tiles up.

I don't think it would have been possible to do the roof first for this project. Even if it was possible, it wouldn't have been easy. This was a three story build.

Build in the Mountains - it never rains.

Now that's an idea, but I haven't even made it to the mountains yet. I don't know if I'd survive there. Besides, the point of this building was to be my home base, and it's built around a maypole, so it's not like I chose the biome, but Meadows is a good biome for a home base anyway. This building is going to have my extensive storage with labeled chests, and portals for everything. I do expect to make satellite bases in other biomes, but those will be smaller basic utilitarian sites, and not this massive one.
