4.1 Base organization

A base starts at the first door belonging to the player or their faction.

All players permanently using the same base must belong to the same faction.

Members of the same faction must use a shared base, unless allowed by a specific server system.

A base's access points must remain usable within the limits set by the server.

It is forbidden to:

5.1 Launch conditions

A raid may only be launched when the conditions set by the server system are met.

The exact minimum levels will be specified here once confirmed:

• Minimum attacker level: 600
• Minimum target level: 600
• Conditions for factions: a faction may launch or undergo a raid only if it has at least one member of level 600 or higher connected in the base. The presence of one eligible member makes the entire faction eligible for the raid. Members who joined the faction after the raid started may not take part in it

For factions, this protection applies only when all members of the targeted faction are between Prestige 0 and 3.

As soon as a member of the targeted faction is Prestige 4 or higher, the protection no longer applies.

5.2 Balancing participants

A faction may not launch a raid with an excessive numbers advantage.

The gap between the number of attackers and defenders may not exceed two players.

Players who are in a faction but not actually taking part in the raid may still be counted when they provide a direct or indirect advantage.

Temporarily leaving or joining a faction to get around this rule is forbidden.

5.3 Raidable base

A base may be raided as soon as it contains at least one real production entity or a printer.

A bank alone does not make a base eligible for a raid.

Deliberately removing, selling, transferring or destroying your printers when a raid is announced or clearly imminent is forbidden.

It is also forbidden to avoid a raid by:

• Leaving the server.
• Changing faction.
• Transferring your resources.
• Moving your entities out of the base.

• Modifying your defense is forbidden.
• Moving your production entities is forbidden.

An outside player who deliberately enters the combat zone despite warnings may be sanctioned and must not be used as a shield.

5.5 Base area

During a raid, the inside of the targeted base is considered a hostile zone.

Outside of a raid, an owner may ask a player to leave their base. The warning may be written or spoken.

If the player refuses to leave or keeps advancing into the base, the owner may kill them.

The warning must be understandable and give the player a reasonable amount of time to leave, except in case of an immediate threat.

• Spam opening or closing them.
• Deliberately close a door on a player.
• Use a door to deal damage.

• A C4 may be used in addition, within the limits set by the server.

5.8 Dispensers

Repeated, abusive use of armor dispensers and health dispensers during a fight is forbidden.

They may be used normally, but must not be used to make a player practically invincible through continuous or automated use.

5.9 Spawn killing during a raid

Abusive spawn killing is forbidden.

It is only tolerated when directly necessary to reach or destroy an enemy spawn point.

Once the spawn point is destroyed or made inaccessible, the attackers must continue the raid normally and may not stay there solely to kill players as they respawn.

5.10 Delay between raids

A minimum delay of one hour must be respected before attacking the same person or faction again.

This delay still applies even in case of:

• Changing faction.
• Changing nickname.
• Using another group.
• Indirect participation in the new raid.

Repeated raids meant only to prevent a faction from playing or rebuilding are forbidden.

Instructions given by organizers and staff members during an event must be followed.

It is forbidden to:

• Kill participants without permission.
• Block access points.
• Steal or move event elements.
• Exploit a loophole in the temporary rules.
• Join only to sabotage how the event unfolds.

A player who deliberately disrupts an event may be removed from it and sanctioned.

In case of repeat offenses, the sanction may be increased.

7.1 Reporting a player

When no staff member is available in-game, a ticket can be opened on the official Discord.

The report should ideally include:

• The SteamID of the player involved.
• A video or screenshots.
• The approximate date and time.
• A clear description of the situation.
• Any witnesses.

Complete video evidence is strongly recommended. A clip that is deliberately cut or taken out of context may be rejected.

Server logs, direct staff observations and other technical elements may also be used as evidence.

7.2 Behavior in tickets

Tickets must remain respectful.

The following behaviors may lead to the ticket being closed and an additional sanction:

• Deliberate lying.
• Falsifying evidence.
• Insults.
• Threats.
• Provocation.
• Spam.
• Obvious bad faith.
• Trying to pressure a staff member.

7.3 Applying sanctions

Sanctions are determined based on:

• The seriousness of the offense.
• The player's history.
• Repeat offenses.
• The player's intent.
• The impact on other players.
• The player's cooperation during the intervention.

Sanctions may include:

• A warning notice.
• A formal warning.
• A jail.
• A mute or gag.
• Removal of entities or resources obtained abusively.
• A temporary ban.
• A permanent ban.
• A partial or full progression reset in case of serious exploitation.

A separate sanctions chart may supplement these rules.

7.4 Appeals

A sanction can be appealed by opening a ticket on the official Discord.

Appealing a sanction does not guarantee it will be canceled.

An appeal must present new evidence, an identifiable mistake or a serious explanation. Repeated requests with no new element may be refused.

Any situation not explicitly described in the rules will be assessed based on:

• Fair play.
• The normal functioning of the game.
• The players' intent.
• The balance of the server.
• The impact of the action on other players.

The moderation team cannot invent an offense after the fact, but it may step in against behavior that is clearly abusive or aimed at deliberately circumventing the rules.

These rules may be changed at any time. Players are responsible for keeping up with updates.
