Here they are. Ignorance is no excuse.
PVE Rules
The goal here is not to have a lot of rules, but some people need things spelled out. We just want to keep the server fun for everyone. Treat everyone nice and you'll be fine. Don't lag people out and we're all cool. Leave your attitude at the login screen, please.
General Rules
No trolling, this is PVE. ONE WARNING. You wanna troll, go play PVP.
NO DESTROYING ADMIN BUILDS, even if they are up for a demo. Our builds are to help you!
No trapping or blocking in players. This is trolling.
Stay out of other bases unless invited.
Stealing eggs or unclaimed babies is still stealing. Do you want your stuff stolen?
Do not take the law into your own hands. Report to admins immediately.
Do not spam/disrespect admins. We see you and will help you when we can.
Do not direct message admins with questions that can be asked in the questions tab (this does not include questions that may be of personal or sensitive nature)
Admins will only replace items lost due to their own doing. If it is because of anything outside of our control it will not be replaced so please don't ask. If you see an admin red gunning a base or vaults and you or your tame get in the way, you are on your own. Don't be that guy.
No toxicity in-game chat. Big brother is watching.
We do not tolerate bullying or bashing of any type or of any disability, race, religion, or culture. It is an automatic mute and possible ban. If you wish to appeal a ban it will have to be taken up with the Owner.
Tribe Rules
No tribe or characters with the name "Human, Humano, Admin, Owner, 1234567890" or anything like that.
No racist or demeaning names.
All players must have a tribe name. No tribeless and only 1 tribe name on the cluster.
Admins, at their discretion, may insist you change your name or tribe name at any time.
Tribe drama is TRIBE drama. Keep it to DMs and not public chat or discord.
Admins will not get involved in tribal disputes. Pick your tribemates wisely.
Building Rules
No builds on player spawn points. It is your responsibility to make sure. Trapped players will be freed, without question, by an admin with structure loss.
No builds at obelisks, mission terminals, or boss areas (includes sanctuary terminals and titans spawns).
Do not build next to someone else. You or they might want to expand. The best practice is: if you can see their base, you're too close.
Tribes are limited to 1 base per map. You may also have one boat/platform tame.
Temporary small builds are permitted (taming fob, emergency logout shelter). Please demolish immediately.
Your base must render within 1 Xbox frame. If uncertain, please ask admins. If you need larger than 1 frame, location and boundaries must be discussed with an admin.
Behemoth Gates should be used in moderation. Excessive use of gates will be removed. Repeat offenses may rsult in structure wipe. This is to reduce lag. Nobody wants to DC because of your base.
If you build walls to replace the gates please do not go higher than a dino gate. It's PVE. Enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
Please use turrets and dino leashes instead of walls/gates. Set turrets on wild, they are increased damage for that reason.
Traps should be demolished immediately when done taming.
Turret boxes at wyvern scars are useless to other players and prevent everyone from placing a temporary bed. Please use a turret platform tame or pick up your turret box when you are done for the day.
No claiming or selling land.
No spamming structures to claim/takeover land or stop players from building. If you need a larger perimeter ask admins.
If cave building is allowed, you MUST provide access to artifacts. Public teleporter or tunnel works. Avoid blocking cave loot drops.
Do not block supply drops. If drops are inside your gates, expect players to land inside your base to get drops.
Any builds near Extinction element veins or OSDs must be removed immediately. Failure to do so will result in a map structure wipe.
Builds on Genesis may not block access to glitches or interfere with missions in any way.
Avoid building in huge resource spawns. Please ask admins if you are uncertain.
Surveillance cameras may only be placed AT your base. You may not place them in other locations. Cameras outside the frame of your base will be removed, along with your entire surveillance system.
Tame Rules
No offline breeding!!!!! It lags the daylights out of the servers. If tames are left on breeding admins may redgun the breeders and offspring to reduce lag.
Dino names must be family-friendly. No racial slurs or workarounds on them. If admins are informed or discover tames named inappropriately, they are authorized to execute on sight by whatever means necessary.
Any dinos left at obelisks, public transmitters, randomly in the wild, or in another player's base or teleporters will die a horrible death to the redgun or be fed to wild troodons. We have a lost and found channel. Use it.
The following dinos are limited to ONE (1) tame out at a tribe's base unless actively breeding, preparing for a boss fight or event, or engaged in the active player to player trade:
Space Whale
Megachelon
Phoenix
Bronto/Titano
Stryder, 1 per map, 2 allowed on Genesis 2
There is no cryo cooldown and there are abundant cryo pods in drops, so there is no excuse to not keep the majority of your tames in cryo. If you have excessive lag at your base, even though you are under the tribe tame limit, an admin may ask you to cryo some tames. This is at the admin's discretion and you are expected to comply.
Our Admin Team reserves the right to jail, kick, ban, or wipe any tribe or player found not following our cluster rules without warning or notice. Although we do our best to notify and warn offenders.
Compared to many clusters you will find here on Ark. We actually take pride in making sure your hard work is always available to use. We try to make it so that you suffer as little ARK losses as possible.
