Server Rules

Survive together. Respect the signal.

⚠ NO RAIDING, STEALING, OR GRIEFING

1.0 No raiding player bases under any circumstance.

1.1 Do not steal from other players. This includes:

  • unlocked boxes
  • furnaces
  • lockers
  • sleeping players
  • vehicles
  • horses
  • dropped loot

If it is not yours, leave it alone.

1.2 No griefing or harassment. Examples include:

  • trapping players inside bases
  • placing turrets/traps outside bases
  • blocking doors or entrances
  • building around another player's base
  • intentionally baiting NPCs into player bases

1.3 An open door is NOT permission to loot.

🎯 PvE EVENT & LOOT ETIQUETTE

2.0 Major events are intended to be cooperative. Do not act greedily during shared encounters.

2.1 Helicopter, Bradley, Oil Rig, Cargo, and monument loot should be shared fairly between participating players.

Use combat logs and common sense to determine contribution.

2.2 Tagging Helicopter or Bradley does NOT give full ownership of all loot.

2.3 Players may run monuments at the same time. You may not claim exclusive ownership over an entire monument or puzzle area. We have a custom /claim "location name" plugin to help coordinate monument runs—this announces your presence at a location with a 30-minute timer and alerts others if they try to claim the same spot. This system provides context for admins to settle disputes between players, but it does not actively prevent others from visiting the monument or give you ownership over the location.

2.4 If you use your own keycards or resources to access secured loot, that loot is yours.

Public loot such as CH-47 hackable crates are first come, first serve unless players agree otherwise.

2.5 Intentionally sabotaging another player's monument run or event participation is considered griefing.

If you are unsure whether someone is already running an event, ask in chat first.

💬 CHAT & COMMUNITY CONDUCT

3.0 Keep global chat respectful and relaxed.

Friendly banter is fine. Toxic behavior is not.

3.1 Zero tolerance for:

  • racism
  • homophobia
  • sexism
  • hate speech
  • targeted harassment

Violations may result in immediate removal.

3.2 Avoid political or religious arguments in global chat.

3.3 Do not spam chat, mic spam, or intentionally disrupt the community atmosphere.

3.4 Please use English in global chat so moderators can properly assist players when needed.

🏗️ BUILDING RULES

4.0 Build creatively, but be mindful of server performance and map access.

4.1 Do not wall off or block:

  • monuments
  • roads
  • rivers
  • railways
  • tunnels
  • recyclers
  • fishing villages
  • safe zones

4.2 Do not intentionally build in ways that prevent other players from progressing through the map.

4.3 Massive unused compounds, excessive twig structures, and abandoned bases may be removed by admins to maintain server health.

4.4 Trap bases designed to kill or troll players are not allowed.

⏰ INACTIVITY & PURGE POLICY

5.0 Players inactive for 6 days will be purged from the server.

5.1 If multiple players are authorized on a single Tool Cupboard and at least one player logs in within the 6-day timeframe, the base will remain safe.

5.2 Individual players who have not returned within 6 days may be purged as inactive sleepers, even if their base remains protected by active teammates.

Keep your team active to protect your base and your presence on the server.

🛡️ SAFE ZONES & PLAYER INTERACTION

6.0 Do not bait NPCs, scientists, or hostile entities into safe zones or player bases intentionally.

6.1 No excessive harassment, stalking, or repeatedly following players to disrupt gameplay.

6.2 Player-created shops, towns, and community areas are encouraged.

Respect community projects.

👮 STAFF & SUPPORT

7.0 Staff are here to maintain a fair and enjoyable environment.

7.1 Do not ask admins for:

  • spawned items
  • teleports
  • free resources
  • special treatment

7.2 Do not impersonate staff members.

7.3 If you encounter:

  • rule breakers
  • bugs
  • exploits
  • cheating

Open a support ticket in Discord. Do not attempt to handle situations yourself.

🧠 COMMON SENSE RULE

Not every situation can be covered perfectly by written rules. If you are intentionally trying to ruin the experience for others, staff may intervene even if the behavior is not explicitly listed above.

Don't be the reason rules get longer.
