PvE Rules

1. Respect Player Property & Containers

Never take items from containers owned by another player. This includes storage boxes, corpses, owned horses (identifiable by saddlebags or horseshoes), and external furnaces or refineries.

• Exceptions: Containers explicitly marked with a sign like "FREE LOOT" are free game.

1.1. Sleeping and Dead Players

Do not loot players who are sleeping or dead in the open. They may have disconnected or are actively running back to retrieve their body. Taking their gear is theft and will be treated as such.

2. Unauthorized Base Entry

Do not enter another player's base without explicit permission, even if doors or airlocks are left wide open. Most open bases are accidents, not invitations.

• Traps: If you enter an open base and trigger traps, your death is considered self-defense on the owner's part.
• Looting: Stealing anything inside an open base falls under Rule 1 and will result in a ban.

2.1. Decaying Bases

You may search and loot decaying bases, provided the containers inside are unlocked and open.

• Do NOT Break Structures or Containers: Destroying anything in a decaying base triggers an automatic admin alert. Locked boxes inside a decaying structure remain off-limits until the base fully decays. If you need a base cleared faster, contact an admin on Discord.

3. Strict No-Raid Policy

Raiding or intentionally damaging player property is strictly banned. Our servers automatically log damage dealt to player structures and locks.

• Auto-Kick Warning: Destroying more than 2 player-owned items triggers an immediate automatic kick and alerts active moderators.

4. Anti-Griefing & Etiquette

Players come here to build, chill, and run monuments without constant harassment. Do not sabotage or disrupt another player's session.

Examples of prohibited behavior:

• Blocking another player's expansion path or dropping Tool Cupboards to grief their land.
• Damaging structures or deployables outside your TC range.
• Stealing monument loot from someone actively clearing it. Check chat and use /rc to call monuments properly.

5. Rules on Player vs. Player (PvP)

PvP combat and looting are strictly restricted to designated zones and explicit group consent.

• PvP Zones: Small Oil Rig and Large Oil Rig are full PvP areas. Kills and full looting are completely allowed here.
• Team PvP: You may fight members of your own in-game team anywhere on the map.
• Open World PvP: Attacking or killing players outside designated zones generates immediate admin logs and visible in-game warnings. Repeated offenses lead to a permanent ban.

Handling Rule Breakers: Best Practices

If you run into someone actively breaking rules, here is the best way to deal with it so the admin team can take care of it quickly:

• Base Raids: If a player starts blowing into your base, try to let them break a door, wall, or lock before taking action. Every broken structure sends an automatic proof log directly to our admin channel on Discord, making the ban process instant.
• Hostile Players: If someone attacks you outside a PvP zone, letting them finish the kill gives us a clear kill feed log and an itemized list of everything they took. We will return all lost gear to you and ban the offender.
• Active Trolls: If a player is causing chaos, type admin in global chat or tag an admin on Discord.
