Rules

Short version: be cool, build big, fight fair. Long version below. Rulings are made by admins in Discord — if something isn’t covered here, ask before you do it.

Raiding & offline protection

  • The cluster never wipes, and no base is ever unraidable. ORP reduces damage while you’re offline — it does not make you immune. Same deal for everyone, no exceptions.
  • Offline raid protection comes from your tribe’s ORP unit (/setorp). It arms 60 minutes after the last member logs out — combat-logging while raid-flagged adds a 90-minute penalty.
  • While protected: structures take 1/3 damage, dinos take 10%, turrets hit 3× harder and dinos hit 2× harder.
  • Weekends run softer protection (Friday 6pm to Sunday midnight): half damage, no turret or dino boost. That’s raid time.
  • Caves work slightly differently: cave structures under ORP take 40% damage (instead of a third), and cave turrets get a 1.5× boost (instead of 3×). Caves are naturally strong — the protection there is toned down to match.
  • While a raid is live: no shop, no server transfers, no Tek teleporters or replicators. Finish the fight.
  • New tribes get new player protection until level 50 or 10 days, whichever comes first.
  • No griefing beyond the raid: don’t flatten a base for fun, don’t pen players in, don’t kill passive tames you’re not raiding for.

Creatures

  • No “magic” creatures. Pyromane and similar cash-shop creatures are banned and disabled.
  • New paid DLC tames are tested by admins before being allowed — balance first.
  • Vanilla cryopods are disabled. Use Dino Depot for storing and moving tames.

Tribes

  • Tribe size is capped — one tribe, one identity across the whole cluster. See the Tribes page.
  • No insiding. What happens inside a tribe is on the tribe, but stolen-account or shared-account theft gets you removed.

Conduct

  • Trash talk is part of ARK. Racism, threats and harassment are not — instant ban, no appeals theatre.
  • No exploiting, meshing, duping or lag-machine builds. If it feels like cheating, it is.
  • Admins play here too, but admin powers are never used in PvP. Tickets and disputes go through Discord.

Fair enough? Come build.
