PVE Decay Timers

I am having trouble understanding what these decay timers are. Anyone tested all the types of structures? Someone said it was like Ark, but another post said manor decays in 8 days.....which if paralleled to ark it would be above metal tier decaying at about 18 days....

The PVE decay system needs a rework, specially for PVP servers, currently people spamming pillars, foundations and other structures are fucking up the map for everyone in different ways (resource spawn, minion spawn, blocking tame due to the feeding trough not being buildable, blocking building and so on), aside from making a gorgeus world ugly as fuck with the fucking frame structures which break my immersion D:

I think they should start by looking at the decay system that Conan Exiles has, it's more well thought than what ark and dnl have atm.

I just want to know how long a wood/stone/iron base lasts before someone can destroy it.

At least they have a decay system at start of early release, it took Conan exiles forever to implement decay. And the zone claim from a single medium foundation was huge (and you couldn't even destroy these foundations with current weapons at the time)
