Title: Quick question regarding gravestones
Post by: Chon Waen on March 15, 2015, 10:58:51 AM
Everywhere I search, I read that gravestones decay in "about a generation"
Just wondering if gravestones have a precise decay time in the code.
If so, do we know how long it is? (ie. 25yrs)
If not, is there an exact range of time that the decay will occur? (ie. 20-30yrs)

Thanks in advance!

from the Banished 1.0.2 beta  blog post :
Quote* Tombstones now decay in 4-6 years instead of 13-17.

that's the last time i've seen the developer talk about grave decay.

According to the code:

TombstoneDescription tombstone
{
float _lifetimeInMonths = 60.0;
float _lifetimeTolerance = 12.0;
}


So anywhere from 48 to 72 months. So chillzz is right about the 4-6 years.
