Top-level

The big three

  • 01
    No abusive, racist, sexist, homophobic, or toxic behaviour. We're here to play a game — be a decent person. Repeat offences = permanent ban.
  • 02
    No duping, meshing, exploits, or macros that circumvent auto-kick. If it gives an unfair advantage, don't use it.
  • 03
    No real-money trades for in-game items. No buying or selling characters, dinos, or bases for cash.
Community & communication

How we talk to each other

  • 04
    English is required in public chat. Any language is permitted in Tribe/Ally chat.
  • 05
    No unsolicited DMs to admins or mods unless pre-approved — use the ticket system for support and disputes.
  • 06
    No vulgar or offensive character or tribe names. Inappropriate names may be declined without explanation.
  • 07
    You must join Discord within 7 days of playing on the server. Mute #announcements and #alerts-from-admins at your own risk.
Registration & activity

Staying registered and active

  • 08
    Complete registration per map using the format specified in Discord. Every tribe member must register themselves individually.
  • 09
    Alt accounts must remain in the same tribe — no exceptions. They cannot be used to bypass limits or structure caps.
  • 10
    Logging in on a single map refreshes your decay timer across all maps.
  • 11
    Inactive 4+ weeks = automatic structure and dino removal. VIP Members have 9+ Weeks.
Tribes & bases

Building and base limits

  • 12
    300m minimum separation between neighbours. It is your responsibility to verify clearance before building.
  • 13
    Main base must fit within CS Gardener range (9000). Outpost must fit within CS Item Collector range (7000). One per map — they are mutually exclusive.
  • 14
    Base allowances by tribe size: 1 player = 2 main bases; 2 players = 3; 3 players = 4; 4 players = 5; 5+ players = 6. All other maps are outpost-only.
  • 15
    Monitor your structure count via /limits. Tribe-splitting to bypass limits or structure caps is strictly forbidden.
  • 16
    Structures auto-decay after 4 weeks (9 Weeks for VIP Members) without a tribe member logging in.
No build zones

Where you cannot build

  • 17
    Never build at spawn points, obelisks (200m minimum distance required), artifact caves, explorer notes, or beacon loot drop locations.
  • 18
    Do not block pathways — foot routes, flyer routes, rivers, and lakes must remain open. Unlock gates for player passage.
  • 19
    Do not build in beaver dam areas, resource-heavy locations, or memorial sites.
  • 20
    Map-specific restrictions apply (e.g. Carno Island and Volcano on The Island; Mines of Moria on Fjordur; Surface area on Aberration; Mission terminals on Genesis 2). If unsure, submit a ticket before building.
Dinos & breeding

Dino limits and breeding rules

  • 21
    Maximum 150 dinos per tribe. Ball dinos via Depot gun wherever possible to stay under the limit.
  • 22
    Breeding must be set up completely indoors. Use terminal pickup for newborns to prevent others claiming eggs or dinos.
  • 23
    Unwanted dinos go to the destruction terminal — never give them away. Unwanted wyvern or drake eggs must be eaten, never dropped on the floor.
  • 24
    Delete obsolete stat dinos and clean dino orbs after breeding to keep the save file healthy.
  • 25
    No wandering or unattended wild dinos. Do not drop dinos into another player's base without permission.
Griefing & etiquette

Behaviour on the server

  • 26
    Zero tolerance griefing policy. Stealing is not tolerated — an open box does not mean the contents are yours to take.
  • 27
    Check the area before claiming drops, dinos, or bosses. If you arrive simultaneously, negotiate a mutual agreement.
  • 28
    Do not build miles of water pipes. Use a single CS intake pipe and tap instead.
  • 29
    Traps must be taken down immediately after use. All temporary structures must be removed when you go offline.
  • 30
    SAP taps: one redwood per tribe, unlock at least half. Oil/gas veins: one per resource type per map, must stay unlocked for the community.
Trading & items

Trading and the nice-guy clause

  • 31
    Trade fairly. No free giveaways — trades only. Do not trade a level 150 dino for a level 1,500 dino.
  • 32
    Players leaving the server cannot gift anything to others. Receiving banned items results in a ban for the recipient as well.
  • 33
    Do not beg for eggs, dinos, or items. Teach newer players game mechanics rather than handing out items that spoil their experience.
  • 34
    Use the backup mod — it saves inventory every 15 minutes. Press "Force Inventory Save" before risky activities. Admin recovery is not guaranteed.
Admin policy

How admins operate

  • 35
    Enforcement escalates: verbal warning → 3-day ban → 7-day or permanent ban. Immediate exclusion or banning may occur without a stated reason.
  • 36
    Every admin action is logged. The admin team has absolute authority on final disputes. No lawyering of rules.
  • 37
    Admin instructions and requests are to be respected and obeyed. Rules are subject to change at any time.
