📝 WHAT ARE THE IN-GAME RULES?
ARK n' ART aims to keep things relatively simple when it comes to our in-game server rules. Both common sense and good judgement are key to surviving in this space. With that said, let's take a look at the unspoken basics to get an idea what we'll be expecting from folks!
✅ NAMES & TRIBES
Always give your survivor and tribe a unique name, such as your user handle. Things among the lines of "123" and "Tribe of Human" are not acceptable and may warrant a reset or forced name change.
⛔ PLAYER VERSUS
Never raid or grief players. This includes intentionally destroying property, killing tames, and stealing gear. Kiting wild dinos to do it for you also applies, and doing any of these will result in a ban.
✅ CLAIMING SPOTS
Always claim a spot by putting down a base. Only one main base and up to two small outposts are allowed per map, but outposts cannot take up high-traffic building spots (such as the hidden lake).
⛔ BASE PROXIMITY
Never build your base within render view of another base. Test your proximity by taming a parasaur and turning on turret mode. If you wish to be within render view, ask the resident for permission.
✅ NATURAL SCENES
Always leave the wilderness devoid of clutter. Pick up or your temporary bases after moving and remove traps after taming, or an admin will remove them. Always keep public resources unlocked.
⛔ RICH RESOURCES
Never block valuable resource-rich areas with your structures, including bases. In a similar vein, the same applies to XP notes and caves. Ignoring this is cause for an admin to remove your structure.
