Dude I am not missing your point at all. I guess you just refuse to see mine. Truthfully I should know better that to debate a topic with you.
ok I yield to your logic. your right and I am totally and completely wrong.

@Jetah Dude you, as always, totally missed (or ignored) my point. if you were to build a cabin in the middle of the woods far from civilization you will probably be forced to use whatever materials you can find nearby. Most likely you are not going to be following building codes and may not be an experienced builder. If you building in a city you will have access to better materials, will need to follow building codes and may even have a professional do the work. That structure is going to be sturdier and last longer that the cabin in the woods.
The fact that some structures have lasted hundreds or even thousands of years only PROVES my point. they are the structures that have been built with superior materials by master craftsman. they have probably also received maintenance over the years (or need it now). That being said most of the structures built hundreds of thousands of years ago have long since decayed to nothing.
All homes need maintenance. How onerous the game mechanic will be remains to be seen.

@Jetah said in Houses in the wilderness:
if you get cypress wood, you wont need to stain, paint or even buy pressure treated. cypress doesn't rot or wont rot in your lifetime. The wood type has so much more to do with the longevity than processes. If you want pine or even oak then you'll want it treated (paint, stain, pressure treated) in some manor. But those processes can be done with 'magic' that's going to exist in the Fractured world.
I dont like the idea that we'll have to maintain a house that'll deteriorate in a month (which is one game year). That just isn't right to me.
There are building products which are available that make your home sturdier as well as you would imagine that the building techniques used in a city would results in a sturdier home. A cabin in the woods is not built to the same specifications as a home in a city. So I would say that a home build in the woods would not be of the same quality as a home build in the city.
Also I am a little surprised that you dislike this mechanic. You usually seem come out in favor a more 'realism' in your fantasy. Maintenance is the bane of every homeowner.
