Rules

Our new ASA server focuses more on PVE, while PVP is enabled on most maps. The main base on "The Island" is PVE (=home map). An additional zone or a shield "Massive Base Protection" (=MBP) should be established. This MBP is currently not a safebase but serves as a marker for your own base and prevents rapid decay within the zone on the home map. On the regular PVP maps, "Gentleman-PVP" with ORP applies. We value a friendly coexistence and expect fair gameplay.

1) BASIC RULES

  • PVE is the priority, PVP is allowed but not the sole main goal.
  • No harassment, insults, or offensive behavior in the game (this also applies to player, tribe, or animal names).
  • On the PVE (home maps), pure PVE should not be disturbed, and players should not be annoyed. The theft of fertilized eggs or babies within a PVE base is also not allowed.
  • Use of hard INIs is prohibited (settings that create a massive advantage in PVP). Gamma settings may be adjusted.

1.1) Tribes

  • A tribe name must be consistent across the entire cluster, and no duplicate or similar tribe names are allowed.

2) Bases (Home Map, Main Base, and Outposts)

In principle, the main base should always be marked with "Massive Base Protection" (=MBP) on the home map.

  • The main base on the home map must be covered by a "Massive Base Protection LARGE" area. Additionally, the Vanilla-ORP is automatically activated.
  • Only one main base per tribe is allowed on a home map.
  • On each PVP map, an additional main base or an outpost can be built, which can be protected by an ORP.
  • On the "Rotation Maps," only one outpost is allowed.

2.1) Home Map / PVE ("The Island")

  • The home map is PVE.
  • The main base is only valid within a "Massive Base Protection" and must be outside the render distance of other bases.
  • No opposing player may disturb the PVE or build structures within their own main base.
  • Turrets may only be placed within the "Massive Base Protection."
  • No (aggressive) animals should be left outside the base.
  • A raft or motorboat outside the main base is allowed but should be marked with a MBP Small. These MBP flags should only be placed on land or solid structures, not on platforms or rafts/motorboats.

2.2) PVP Maps (Official Maps)

  • Maximum base size: 80 foundations in diameter (measurable with Hyper-ORP).
  • A base should be built outside the render distance of another base.
  • No SPAM outside the 80 foundations.

2.3) Outposts (PVP Maps, Rotation)

  • Maximum size: 8x8x8 foundations.
  • No automation (Gacha, smelting, greenhouse, etc.), no breeding, or leaving animals outside permanently.

3) Building Rules

3.1) General

  • No reservations or SPAM with foundations and pillars.
  • Taming traps and similar structures should be dismantled after use.
  • Building and turret placement is prohibited at important "PVE" locations (on all maps including PVP) and their access points such as obelisks, caves with bosses & artifacts, Aberration surface, player spawn areas, and rare creatures (entire Wyvern canyon, Magmasaur, Rockdrake) or PVE content in general (open-world bosses, volcano/tek cave, etc.).
  • Exception: On PVP maps, building is allowed in caves as long as access to artifacts & co. remains easy (on foot) for regular players.
  • Avoid building on explorer notes (otherwise make accessible after consultation) as well as on player spawn points.
  • Prohibition of inaccessible (meshing), multiple stacked (stacking), invisible, flying, or indestructible structures.
  • Ratholes are only allowed as long as one can normally enter and exit the spot (without tricks).
  • No simplifications for loot drops, artifacts, PVE content, etc. (e.g., no beds or teleporters placed directly next to them).
  • The quantity limitations under "Structures" must be monitored and adhered to independently.

3.2) Massive Base Protection (MBP)

  • For a base on the home map, a "Massive Base Protection" (MBP) must be established; otherwise, the base will be automatically destroyed after 7 days from the start of construction. No "refresh/update" is possible!
  • With the MBP, you can display the maximum base size (LARGE = main base, SMALL = outpost).

3.3) Hyper's Offline Raid Protection (ORP)

  • On PVP maps, an ORP can be placed.
  • Only one ORP is allowed per tribe.
  • In case of misuse of ORP (e.g., splitting into multiple tribes), a wipe will occur on the respective map without prior notice.

4) Further Rules

4.1) Cheats & Exploits

  • All cheats, exploits, and unauthorized game mechanics are strictly prohibited on the server. This includes aimbots, speed hacks, account sharing, tunneling, and exploiting bugs.
  • Game mechanics must not be abused to intentionally destabilize the game. This includes linking large turret towers, stacking vaults, stacking animals, mass dropping fertilized eggs, or excessively spamming dinos within turret range. Building in inaccessible or unintended areas (not freely accessible ratholes) is also prohibited.
  • Duplicating items or retaining them is also forbidden.

4.2) Gentleman-PVP

  • We play a kind of Gentleman-PVP. Raiding a base and looting players is allowed, but with moderation. Completely destroying a base just because it is possible should be avoided.

4.3) Players

  • Incorporating or holding players is only allowed temporarily (~5 minutes).
  • Repeatedly killing the same player immediately after respawn (spawn camping) is prohibited.

4.4) Turrets

  • Turrets must not be abusively placed at spawn points or farm spots and are only allowed temporarily for self-defense. Open turrets must be removed after PVP activities or farming.

4.5) Animals

  • No animal stacking; animals should only be positioned with riding and whips.
  • More than 8 gachas per map (for resources) are not allowed.

5) Reports & Evidence

  • In case of rule violations, screenshots, short clips, or excerpts from the tribe log should be submitted if possible.
  • Deliberately false or manipulated reports against other players are considered a rule violation themselves.
  • Admin decisions are based on the evidence presented (logs, screenshots, clips) and are final.
  • One ticket each in Discord (https://discord.gg/3YGbmnmgnc)
