Question about wall decay.

[kerianor]

Decay only hits when the map is loaded, so if the wall is unclaimed and in a high traffic area, the chance of decay is higher than if no one visits it.

then i'll go there as often as i can to weep on those decaying crates

Sure, you can build a battering ram and tear the wall down.

So there's no way I can loot this unclaimed, walled, cave before i have enough strength to operate the battering ram

You only need 36 str to operate it solo. Get friends and it can drop to as low as 10 each.
