In Rimworld 1.0, all this would deteriorate and decay in a year...

But we know that doesn't happen. Open air covered storage is commonplace at farms, industrial areas, lumberyards, etc. It's the sun and the rain that does most of the damage. As a person who harvests firewood every year and places it in open air covered storage to season the wood, I can testify that it is essential and not harmful to the wood.
We really need the old method back. It's not an exploit.
Actually everything in that first picture (that you can make in the game) would be fine outside. You can put leather chairs out in the rain for a decade and they're fine.
I agree on the wood, though.
Yeah, certain goods like wood should be just fine as long as its covered outside.

Agreed.
At least for certain items. Things like wood and hay should be fine when covered. But not clothing and other complex items
