RULES OF CONDUCT

Special rules may apply to specific areas which you can read in the Important Locations section of this Wiki.

To keep the server fun, fair, and running smoothly, we have some rules everyone must follow.

• ⚠️ Not knowing them is not an excuse.
• Exploiting loopholes = breaking the rules.
• Report any rule-breaking using our ticket system.
• 🤝 No Punishment for Honest Mistakes

If you accidentally break a rule or discover an exploit and report it to staff right away, you won’t be punished. We value honesty and good intentions — owning up early goes a long way.

Name all your grids like: FactionTag.Purpose

➤ Example: ABC.Miner, ABC.Warship

Use one consistent faction tag across all your builds.

• If you don't have a faction, create one.
• ❌ Unlabelled or incorrectly tagged grids may be deleted and may not be restored.

Building is permitted on planet Aquaras only.

• The planet will not be reset/restored unless it becomes an issue for the servers simspeed or lag for players.
• Do not drill tunnels through the planet. This benefits no one and you can do this in your own offline creative world instead.

• Voxels will reset, potentially causing your grid to be buried, damaged, or deleted.
• Grids may be deleted automatically by the server or manually by staff.
• Not being able to reset asteroids prevents us from cleaning up the system resources such as memory to keep the servers simspeed optimal and restart times low.

Only use one respawn ship per playthrough to start or restart.

• ❌ No farming, scouting, or ramming with respawn ships.
• ✅ You may use another if you have no active grids.

Stay within the posted build limits.

• ❌ No bypassing in any way will be accepted.
• 🕒 After undocking, you have 3 hours to fix overages.
• ➤ Staff may delete excess blocks or the entire grid if these rules are broken. No refunds.

• Do not build inside any ICP or UpsideDown stations (interiors). You will not be given permission, so please do not ask.
• ❌Unauthorized grids WILL be removed without warning or refunds.

Respect other players and staff. Friendly banter is fine, but toxicity, harassment, or personal attacks are not.

• ✅ Example OK: “You sweaty min-maxers have too much time!”
• ❌ Not OK: Insults, bullying, or hate speech.
• Be a Good Sport
• Staff decisions are final. Use the ticket system if you want to dispute something. Public drama = auto-mute.
• English Only in Global Chat
• Other languages belong in general-int or private messages.
• Keep Public Safe Zones Clean
• Don’t push ships around in public Safe Zones.

• Fair Combat Only
• All PvP must follow the rules. No griefing, harassment, or abusive tactics.
• No Blockbombing/Blockspamming.

➤ This means you may not spam blocks or use disgarded grids to damage or interfere with others. Ramming is allowed.

• Avoid Laggy Ships in PvP
• Keep your combat ships optimized — no excessive block spam, conveyor blocks, LCD screens, etc… that tank server performance.
• No Auto-Aim or Aim Bots (plugins, scripts, etc. Vanilla and WC are allowed)

This means you may not use a script to point your ship at the enemy to fire static weapons or control turret weapons directly. You can use scripts to select targets or target points (Thrustes, Power, Weapons, etc..) using weaponcore.

• You must manually aim turrets/weapons when controlling a grid or use WC painter and other options provided.

• Performance-Friendly Builds Only
• No block spam, excessive particles, or grid abuse that reduces server sim-speed.
• Follow the Build Performance Guide in the wiki.
• Grav Drives, Mass Drives, and Klang Drives are strictly forbidden.
• No Exploits, hacks, glitching, or third parts tools/apps.
• You must report exploits or broken mechanics.

• Use !grids list locate your grids.
• Check the G Menu > Info tab for tracking.
• Players have 1 freebie to have a grid returned regardless of the reason it was lost.
• We recommend you save this for later when you accidentally delete your base or expensive warship.
• Without using the freebie, only grids lost due to server side issues or crashes. Abusing this will result in a ban from ever being able to recover a lost grid.

• No Advertising other servers.
• ❌ Don’t promote other SE servers. You can discuss them normally but not for the purpose of encouraging players to play other servers instead.
• ✅ You may share private Discords for factions or groups playing on UD, in our faction-ads or looking-for-mate channels.

Rules Are Subject to Change

• We will always announce this, so not knowing the rules is never an accepted reason for breaking them.
• Staff may clarify or update rules at any time.

Use Tickets for Disputes

• Don’t argue bans or rules in global chat. Use the ticket system to appeal or ask questions.
• Be Honest in Tickets

Reporting an issue honestly will most likely result in no punishment/warning. We're not out to get you.
Not knowing or understanding the rules will never be an acceptable excuse for not following them.
Staff will use their experience and best judgement for each individual case. We understand mistakes will happen.
THE INTENTIONS OF THE RULE TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER THE WORDING OF THE RULES.

Staff will use their best judgement in all cases and are not permitted to resolve issues they are involved in as a player, faction member, or similar.
