Play fair, have fun

Rules

The community rules apply everywhere. Each server also has its own rules, so check yours before you build.

2x PVE x PVP Zones rules

The community rules apply here too.

No PvP outside the designated PvP areas.
No offensive language or extreme toxicity toward players or staff, including slurs and variations of them.
Traps and turrets must be inside compound or base walls, never in public areas. No SAM sites until Apocalypse.
Staff have the final say. We investigate every claim and ticket. It can take time, and we’ll get back to you with what we find.
Trying to manipulate or exploit the rules leads to an immediate rule change and a possible ban.

There’s no raiding, and using exploits to try to raid is a bannable offense.
No insiding a clan (joining to steal loot), code raiding or changing codes. When you leave a clan, you can only take what you farmed.
Sleepers can be looted, but they can’t be killed unless they’re secured in a base.
Unsecured bases can be looted, but you can be killed on sight if you’re caught. Protect your stuff with window shutters, door locks, locked storage and a tool cupboard.
We don’t condone stealing, but it isn’t blocked. You can kill a player caught in the act of stealing, and the thief can’t fight back. Once you’re out of each other’s sight, the confrontation is over.
Decaying bases count as unsecured. You may loot them fully, including unlocked boxes and cupboards, but you may not raid them by destroying walls, doors or anything else.
Don’t grief or camp locked crates, or add time to them by damaging them.

PvP is only allowed inside marked areas with a PvP bubble. You’ll be told in chat when you enter and leave one.
Cargo Ship is always PvP, wherever it is. Its bubble doesn’t always show, so treat it as PvP even when you can’t see one.
Don’t camp or bait roads or biomes.
Players inside a PvP area may not attack players outside it, unless they were fired on first or it continues a fight that started inside the zone.
If one side leaves the zone, the fight can continue until one side dies or both sides have left.
Patrol heli crash sites are PvP only once the loot is on the ground, and stop being PvP once it’s gone. Don’t leave loot out to bait players in.
Shooting at players flying overhead outside a PvP area counts as attempted PvP. Don’t shoot at players flying by.

Lock vehicles, helis and horses inside a building when you aren’t using them, or other players can steal them.
Cars and minis spawn on roads. Horses spawn all over the map.
Use /buy to purchase a vehicle that other players can’t steal.

Very large builds, or builds with lots of lights or signs, can lag the server and may be reduced by an admin. Staff will look at it case by case, then talk with the player.
Keep compounds and compound walls a reasonable size, and don’t put them up until Apocalypse.
Traps and turrets must be inside compound or base walls so they can’t hurt innocent players, never in public areas. No SAM sites until Apocalypse.
Don’t build bases or foundations around, or wall off, monuments, mines, caves, quarries, rivers, or barrel and node spawn areas. Don’t wall off an entire island without approval.
Don’t block other players, their bases, public access points or monuments.
Don’t obstruct a base you didn’t build.
The Remover Tool is only for fixing building mistakes. Don’t use it to grief, to reach rooms you normally couldn’t, or to hide loot or TCs.
Admins may remove spammed entities (lights, water components, deployables, etc.) if they lag the server or hurt performance.
Please don’t place entities or deployables you don’t plan to use, including unwanted loot from boxes and barrels.
Twig bases aren’t allowed. Upgrade all twig to a proper building material within 24 hours of connecting.
Don’t build inside someone else’s compound, and don’t spam TCs inside a compound to stop others building.
There’s no land claiming. Don’t spam TCs to claim land you aren’t actively using for your main base.

The Center is a portal hub with amenities, games, gambling and quests. The Factories are through the Factory portal.
Portal houses around the map, at Bandit Camp and at Outpost give you faster travel.
The Factories have NPCs to fight and loot to gather, plus quests with rewards. Pick them up in the quest area of the Center.
The Tyrant is a boss that usually lives at the Water Treatment Plant. It drops good loot, and there’s a quest for it in the Center too.
Apocalypse starts 24 hours before wipe and is announced in game and on Discord. There are no rules except no cheating. Keep SAM sites off until then, and keep turrets off unless they can’t hit innocent passers-by.
