Rust buildings are typically maintained and managed by a tool cupboard, which expends resources to repair buildings as they decay or are attacked. This can result in many resources being used if players don't play as frequently; in that case, reducing the decay rate can be very beneficial, as it uses fewer materials. Alternatively, on high-population servers where members often come and go, setting a building decay high may make room for new members to move in.
