Server Rules & Guidelines

General Server Conduct

• English Only: Please use English in global chat.
• Zero Tolerance for Cheating: Cheating, scripting, exploiting, and ban evasion of any kind are strictly prohibited. This includes associating with players known to cheat or evade bans.
• No Hate Speech or Harassment: Racism, homophobia, sexism, encouragement of self-harm, and sharing of personal information are not allowed.
• VPN Usage: Using a VPN is at our discretion. We may ask you to temporarily disable your VPN connection.

Ban Policy

• Recent Bans: Players with VAC or game bans younger than 365 days are not permitted.
• Older Bans: Players with more than one VAC or game ban older than 365 days are not permitted.

Griefing & Base Interactions

• No Base Griefing: Taking over or griefing a player's base is not allowed. Placing tool cupboards (TCs) around another player's base to prevent expansion (TC griefing) is prohibited.
• Exceptions: Foundation Wiping - Destroying every foundation of an original base is not considered griefing, and allows you to take over the spot. Base Proximity - Building near another base or compound is permitted if the area was unclaimed and doesn't directly obstruct a logical and reasonable compound radius.
• Safe Zone Restrictions: Walling off or restricting access to safe zones (including placing turrets or SAM sites with this intent) is strictly prohibited.

Raid Bases

• Raid bases are allowed but must be unlocked and left to decay after loot transfer is complete (within a reasonable timeframe).
• Admins may remove raid bases if they are not used within a reasonable time after being built.
• Raid bases themselves can be griefed.

Giant Excavator & Quarries

• Bases within 1 grid of the 'no build zone' from Excavator or any of the 3 quarries are not covered under the no griefing rule and can be griefed or taken over.

Quarries & Vehicles

• Quarries can be taken over and/or griefed.
• Cars and Tugboats can be taken over.

Teaming & Alliances

• Teams: It is not permitted to roam/raid with anyone outside of your team. You may not exceed the team limit of 4 players. If you wish to swap a team mate out, this is fine, but remember to clear auth on TC/Turrets, change code locks, remove bags and sleepers etc.
• Alliances: You do not have to KOS everyone. You can be friendly with neighbours, however if a fight were to break out you would be expected to shoot at everyone and not gang up on one group together, this would be considered teaming and would get you banned.
