Protective Passives

• When dinos are set to passive they become protected, or immune to damage, after some time.

• If you ride the protected dino, they become vulnerable until dismounted, then a timer will start until it is immune to damage again.

• Protected dinos cannot be picked up by flyers.

• When a dino becomes protected, all inventory items except food and equipped saddles are dropped onto the floor.

• Customize the duration of the delay timer. Or remove it completely!

• Clean and stackable mod, Protected Passives should work with any other mod you may have installed. 

RULES

1. Attempting to bend these rules in place is NOT allowed and can result in an immediate ban in some situations.

2. Offensive names/language will NOT be tolerated. Cursing Is 100% acceptable, racist/sexist/homophobic/unlawful/etc names and language are not. Admins reserve the right to step-in and stop a conversation they find inappropriate or makes them uncomfortable.

3. Cyberbullying is a real issue, and it will also not be tolerated. We’re all gamers here, don’t be an asshole. Dox'ing or looking up players personal profiles and bringing it in game or in private message without their permission will result in a ban. This includes if they have their social media accounts easily accessible. Repeatedly asking for IRL information also falls under this rule.

4. Cheating, Aimbotting, ESP, hacking, using PvP exploits, adjusting .ini files for PvP advantage (this includes, but is not limited to, removing key graphical components), whatever you want to call it to justify using it. Not allowed. You WILL be banned without exception. And depending on the severity/type of cheating, your tribe may be admin wiped or banned as well. Meshing falls under this rule.

5. Griefing newbies ruins server growth. Large tribes griefing new tribes is not allowed. Aggressive new tribes who attack large tribes lose "new player" status and can be raided by the full force of any tribe(s). Players who join a "new tribe" and attempt to claim new tribe status will be warned and further attempts to do so will receive a ban. This is toxic behavior.

6. After you stop raiding a tribe, regardless of the reason (finished, failed, ran out of resources, cannot locate the tribe, etc.), you have 3 hours to continue the raid, YOU MUST BE ACTIVELY ATTEMPTING TO RAID. Proof of this may be given if no structures are destroyed, or players/tames are killed. Destroying one structure every three hours or taking a couple pop shots once an hour will not extend the 3 hours. Once that amount of time has passed, you have a raid cooldown on that tribe on all maps and you may not attempt another raid on said tribe for 48 hours. FOBs MUST be removed. *There are NO exceptions to this rule.* If the tribe that was raided retaliates during the cooldown period, this will void the initial cooldown. However, after this retaliation, the tribe that retaliated will incur the same 48 hour cooldown 3 hours after the retaliation raid has stopped. Clarification: Open world PvP does not count as raiding and is not affected by the cooldown. This includes killing players and tames or destroying a random storage box NOT near their base.

7. There is no limit to how long a raid can take. If a raid takes a week, then so be it. Admins will NOT force a raid cooldown except in extreme circumstances. Asking an admin to do so is not allowed. 8. Shit happens, this game is glitchy. In 99% of cases, dinos or items lost to you being “arked” will not be replaced. We do encourage you to ask us though, as depending on the situation, with evidence, we may find it appropriate to help.

9. You are allowed to cage someone for up to 48 hours, after that point, you need to release or kill them. The exception is if you are raiding them, you may leave them caged until 48 hours after you finish the raid.

10. You are NOT allowed to block access to Obelisks, Artifacts, Spawn Points, Wyvern scars, Rock Drake or Magmasaur egg spawns, or Aberration entrances on Valguero.

11. The use of unintended building mechanics during a raid is not allowed. This includes hatchframe quetz's and other platform building mechanics that fully prevent your dino from being shot by turrets.

12. Tribe names must be the same across the cluster, and changing tribe names to avoid being caught and/or to get around the raid cooldown will result in a ban.

13. Admin tribe Aasimar is off limits. They will not raid or PvP you, so please leave them be, as they have enough to deal with. You also are not allowed to build in the protected area around their bases. Some admin bases will double as hubs for players to be able to meet up safely.

14. The admins here are not out to get you (any player who has been here for a decent length of time can tell you that), and there will be absolutely no admin abuse tolerated. Any issues with the admin team or any judgement call can be directed to #admin-help OR DM @Psychopation on Discord and I will address it from there. As such, there is to be NO public slander or verbal attacks on the admin team. Gaslighting the server to attempt to force a decision in your favor will result in an immediate ban with NO exceptions.

INFORMATION

This cluster was started out of the desire for transparent admins and the dislike for insane try-hard PvPers. We come from a cluster where both of these were a serious problem and multiple of us had well over 1000-2000 hours in the said cluster and left due to these issues.

​

Admin commands will be logged publicly so that you can always see what the admins are up to and you can know in peace that they are not giving or gaining an unfair advantage. They will also make it known in global chat that they will be using commands to hopefully increase the transparency and trust between our players and the admin team.

As for PvP, it is welcomed and ALWAYS encouraged. However, there are try-hards who like to hop around unofficial clusters to go wipe the alpha tribe (if there is one) or sometimes take it a step further and wipe the entire cluster because they’re bored. We find these people to be detrimental to the community, and as such, we may have a discussion with you if you are that kind of person and if this is the right place for you. I want to be clear, beating/wiping the alpha tribe to take their place is 100% allowed and encouraged, wiping them and then leaving for the next cluster is not.
