EDIT: So I should add, it's not every hitch and trough and not every high external gate. It's hit and miss with nothing being able for me to replicate. 

So this is really strange, and I don't know where to ask but I know that Umod have some great people so thought I'd give it a shot here.

Since this latest update, I'm finding that High External Gates and Hitch and Troughs' are decaying when within range of a TC. High External Walls are fine, it's just the gate that has problems.

I haven't a clue on what could be causing this, but has anyone seen this happen to them, has anyone got a rough idea if a plugin could cause this? I've not added anything new to the server this wipe, but I'm thinking the update could have caused some incompatibilty with a plugin. Thing is, I don't know of any that would do this, so have no clue where to start.

Thanks,
Christopher.

well a simple test would be remove your plugins. would be beneficial to include the plugin list! and picture/video of the area proving the whole gate actually is in TC radius.

And yes, it is within range of a TC. That was the first thing I thought of when the player told me. I've attached a link to an image where you can see the hitch and trough within their base compound.
