Server rules

These rules carry forward the original AfterHours rule set. They apply across the network unless a server-specific notice says otherwise. Use a ticket to ask, report an issue, or appeal a decision.

General rules

  • Cheating, exploiting, duping, and bug abuse are forbidden.
  • Harassment, provocation, threats, hate speech, and repeated escalation are forbidden.
  • Logging out inside another player’s base is forbidden.
  • Illegal stacked-raiding setups and comparable abuse methods are forbidden.
  • Windows, realistic gaps, boosting, and open access are allowed outside raid time.
  • Texture abuse and clipping exploits are forbidden.

Raid window

  • Bases take damage only while raid time is active: Friday–Sunday, 16:00–00:00 Europe/Tallinn.
  • Fences and gates have 3× HP during active raid hours.
  • Guns, ammunition, explosives, and melee weapons may be used for raiding.
  • Raiding with fireplaces is forbidden.
  • Use the published schedule; a restart does not create an exception to raid rules.

Outside raid time

  • Password guessing is allowed.
  • Player boosting is allowed.
  • Windows, gaps, flaws, and open access are allowed.
  • If it is not forbidden, it is allowed—play your own way while respecting others.
  • Texture abuse and clipping exploits remain forbidden at all times.

Shared server health

  • Do not intentionally lag, crash, or overload a server.
  • Report reproducible problems instead of exploiting them.
  • Staff direction exists to protect the shared play space. Ask for clarification or appeal through a ticket rather than escalating in-game.
  • Rules may change for safety, fairness, or server health; current staff direction applies where a situation is not explicitly covered.
