Hello @xzzzbzttnzzzx, thank you for reaching out!

As Arsenalcontrol mentioned, it’s possible to die while offline due to temperature changes. We’d suggest checking for any temperature effects before exiting the game, as well as depositing all your inventory in a chest in order to prevent any possible loss of items should something happen to their characters while you’re offline. It’s also recommended not to sleep close or anywhere above or below heat sources such as furnaces, since they provide heat even when above or below the area they’ve been placed in.

Regarding the decay, did you check their decay timer with a hammer? There’s no known issue or exploit that would cause buildings to decay way before the time stated on their decay timer.
