Server Rules

Building Rules

1. Respect Your Neighbors 🏠

• Ensure your neighbors have enough space.

• Avoid overlapping or requiring access to your neighbor's tool cupboard (TC).

  • Overlapping TCs cause lag and should be avoided.

  • There should be a buildable space between bases when not on a single TC.

2. Base Size in Towns 🏗️

• Build only as big as needed.

• Try not to exceed 5x7 in size.

• If you build bigger, consider the town size, hospital size, and available space.

  • Your build will look unusual if it’s larger than the city hall, for example.

3. Permission and Space 🗺️

• In the wild, seek permission before building in another player’s area.

• Avoid blocking others’ views—there’s plenty of space on the map.

4. Lakes and Shared Spaces 🌊

• Many players want to build by lakes—expect and respect shared spaces.

• Complaints about shared lake/river space will not be entertained.

5. Waterways ⛵

• Do not block rivers or waterways where boats may travel.

• Ensure accessibility for larger water vessels that fit through the passage.

6. Specialized Builds 🚜

• Farms, clubs, and industrial builds should be at least 3+ grids from town.

• Farmers should farm in remote areas but sell goods in towns or community malls.

  • Consider roadside market stalls for selling produce.

  • The goal is to avoid too much unnecessary equipment running in towns.

💼 Job System - Expectations & Role Guidelines

• There are many jobs available, but murder and crime will affect your eligibility for certain roles (e.g., police and rescue).

• Job roles should match your gameplay style—for example, mechanics should work with vehicles, and tailors should sell clothing.

• Shops should reflect your role, providing goods or services related to your job.

• Police officers follow a Code of Conduct, which can be found in the police channels.

🏡 Base Upkeep & Abandonment

• Abandoned bases become raidable.

• Bases become abandoned after 7+ days of inactivity.

• 24 minutes after a base is marked as abandoned, it will disappear if not attacked.

• Players can claim abandoned bases once they have decayed enough to be accessed.

🔫 PvP vs. PvE Clarity

• PvP is only allowed in roleplay situations, such as a store robbery or conflict-based events.

• PvP is permitted in specific RP events like Survival Arena.

• Bandit or outlaw roles are not permitted unless they have a clear RP justification.

• All PvP must have a reason—random attacks or KOS are not allowed.

🚨 Raiding Rules

• Raids are only allowed on NPC raid bases and abandoned player bases.

🏛️ Community Laws & RP Enforcement

• Towns have their own unique laws, which may differ from the wilderness.

  • Example: Larger builds are allowed in the wild compared to within towns.

• Law enforcement is handled by police, admins, and town mayors.

• Each town may have restrictions on weapons, theft, and PvP.

  • Check town-specific rules before engaging in any hostile actions.

🚙 Vehicle & Transportation Rules

• Players can own and modify vehicles, but public roads must remain clear.

• Blocking roads, airstrips, or parking areas is not allowed.

• Public transportation services (such as taxis and air travel) may be available.

• Vehicles left abandoned for long periods may be removed or repossessed.

Rules on Killing and Murder

1. No RDM or KOS ⚔️

• You cannot randomly kill (RDM) another player without serious roleplay leading up to it.

• Killing without proper roleplay justification is considered Kill On Sight (KOS) and is not allowed.

2. Initial Island Entry ⚔️

• Avoid getting into violent situations on your first day.

• Killing may harm your reputation among islanders.

  • Consequences of a bad reputation:

    • Limited job opportunities.

    • Restricted housing options.

    • Some NPCs and towns may refuse to deal with you.

3. Evidence of Crime 🕵️‍♂️

• Murders leave behind trace evidence (hair, fingerprints, shell casings, NPC reports).

• Emergency services have access to death reports for investigations.

4. Death Reports 💀

• Death reports are for rescue teams, medical staff, and police only.

• Do not discuss death reports in chat to avoid meta-gaming.

Event Etiquette

1. Oil Rig & Cargo Ship Events 🛳️

• Be considerate of other players during events.

• These events are first-come, first-serve.

Arrests & Police Procedures

1. Suicide During Arrest 🚓

• If you suicide during an arrest, police may teleport you to jail.

• Repeated abuse will be considered failed role-play and addressed by staff.

2. Jailing Procedure 🔒

• Police can only teleport suspects to jail if:

  • The officer killed them.

  • The player died by other means (rule violations, etc.).

• Police must handcuff & escort suspects before jailing them via the jail menu.
