General Rules

These apply to everyone, everywhere in our community.

  1. Respect Everyone #

    Treat all members with respect. No hate speech, discrimination, harassment, or personal attacks.

  2. No Spamming or Advertising #

    Avoid excessive messaging, unnecessary pings, or self-promotion.

  3. Keep it SFW in Text Channels #

    No NSFW content, graphic violence, or excessive profanity in public text channels.

  4. Mind Your Surroundings in Voice #

    Be aware of who is in the voice channel with you, including children. Explicit language or jokes (in good taste) are only allowed when (a) there are no children present in the channel and (b) it is acceptable to the other members in the voice channel. If anyone objects, or a child joins, tone it down right away.

  5. No Cheating or Exploits #

    Do not discuss or promote hacks, exploits, or cheats.

  6. Stay on Topic #

    Use the appropriate channels for discussions (e.g., trade in the trade chat, not general).

  7. Respect Admins & Moderators #

    Follow instructions from staff and avoid arguing about disciplinary actions.

  8. English Only in Main Channels #

    Use English in general chats for easy moderation.

  9. No Drama or Toxicity #

    Keep discussions civil; if an issue arises, contact an admin privately.

  10. Follow Discord's Terms of Service #

    Violating Discord's TOS can result in bans.

Breaking these rules may result in warnings, mutes, kicks, or bans.

PvE Rules

How we play together on the cluster's maps.

General Gameplay Rules

  1. No Cheating, Hacking, or Exploiting #

    Any form of cheating, abuse of exploits, or game manipulation is strictly forbidden.

  2. No Griefing or Harassment #

    Do not intentionally disrupt other players' gameplay (e.g., blocking access, trolling, or luring wild dinos).

  3. No Stealing or Raiding #

    This is a PvE server; stealing, breaking into bases, or taking items/dinos that do not belong to you is strictly prohibited. If it's not yours, leave it alone.

  4. No Foundation/Pillar Spamming #

    Do not claim excessive land or block important resources/spawn points.

  5. No Blocking Key Locations #

    Do not build on major resource spawns, obelisks, cave entrances, or mission zones.

  6. No Offensive Tribe/Character Names #

    Any inappropriate names will be forced to change.

Building & Structure Rules

  1. One Main Base Per Tribe Per Map #

    Each tribe is allowed one main base per map. Outposts are allowed but must be kept to a reasonable size.

  2. No Blocking Spawn Areas #

    Ensure that players can spawn and navigate freely.

  3. Remove Unused Structures #

    Clean up abandoned bases and taming pens when finished, or unlock traps so other tribes can use them.

Dino & Taming Rules

  1. No Trapping Community Spawns #

    Do not build traps that prevent dinos from naturally spawning in an area.

  2. Unclaimed Dinos May Be Removed #

    If a dino is left on wandering or abandoned, admins may remove it, or other players may claim it.

Violations may result in warnings, dino deletion, structure wipes, temporary bans, or permanent removal.

PvP Rules

How fights are handled.

  1. Fair Fights Only #

    PvP is part of the game here, but no cheating, hacking, or exploiting to win a fight.

  2. Follow the Raiding Rules #

    Raid only within the limits the admins announce (times, targets, what is and isn't allowed). If you're unsure, ask first.

  3. No Spawn Camping or Harassment #

    Don't camp spawns, trap, or repeatedly kill new or returning players, and don't hunt one person across maps.

  4. No Mesh or Structure Abuse #

    No mesh-glitching into bases, no building to block spawns, no structure tricks.

  5. Keep Your Word #

    Truces and alliances are honoured. Breaking one in bad faith can lead to admin action.

  6. Be a Good Loser (and Winner) #

    No threats, tantrums, or toxicity after a fight. Win or lose, keep it civil.

  7. Report, Don't Retaliate #

    See cheating or abuse? Take evidence to an admin. Don't break the rules yourself to get even.

Violations may result in warnings, structure or dino removal, temporary bans, or permanent removal.

Admin Rules

Our admin team is held to the same standard. Published so you know what to expect from staff.

  1. No Abusing Admin Powers #

    Admins cannot spawn dinos, blueprints, resources, or equipment unless it is an equal spawn to fix legitimate game glitch issues.

  2. No Special Treatment #

    Admins must play fairly and cannot give premium stock dinos to new players or offer unfair advantages.

  3. No Griefing or Harassment #

    Admins must follow the same rules as players and should set an example of good behavior.

  4. Admins May Build in Creative Mode #

    Admins are authorized to use creative mode for server-related builds, but they must not keep excess structures or resources. Any extra materials must be discarded.

  5. No Unnecessary Interference #

    Admins should only intervene when necessary (e.g., enforcing rules, fixing glitches, or assisting players with legitimate issues).

  6. Rollbacks are at the Server Owner's Discretion #

    Only the server owner can authorize a rollback in case of major issues.

  7. Transparency & Accountability #

    Admins must communicate any actions taken (e.g., bans, structure removals, dino wipes) to the admin team and keep records if needed.

  8. Painting Dinos #

    Admins may "paint" dinosaurs for themselves or other players who request it.

Admins who abuse their powers may be subject to removal from their role.
