ARK: Green Earth — Server Rules

Last updated: 14.11.2024

⚠️ Ignorance of the rules of our server does not release you from responsibility.


1. Preface

1.1. By playing on our servers you automatically agree to the server rules. When communicating with the administration anywhere, mind your manners — no insults, arguments, mockery of the staff, etc. You came to the project to play and relax.

1.2. The administration has the final word on how to punish a tribe or player — delete the base, ban, warn, or grant another chance — and these decisions are not subject to criticism or discussion. After 3 warnings (or failure to comply within the set deadline) the player/tribe is banned.


2. Communication

2.1. Insulting server players or members of the VK/Discord community — as well as their loved ones — is forbidden.
Punishment: Permanent mute

2.1.2. Political talk and incitement of ethnic hatred are forbidden.
Punishment: Permanent mute

2.2. Flooding/spamming in the game chat or in comments is forbidden.
Punishment: Permanent mute

2.3. Spreading false information about the project's administration, advertising other servers, or calling players to leave the server is forbidden.
Punishment: Permanent mute


3. Behavior in the Game World

3.1. On all maps of the cluster the tribe name must be identical, with no differences.
Punishment: Warn, Ban 3 days

3.1.1. The tribe roster must be the same on all maps of the cluster.
Punishment: Warn, Ban 3 days [both tribes are banned]

3.2. Forbidden character names / tribe names / dino nicknames: obscene words or phrases, ads for other sites/servers, anything violating the law, as well as names like "Man", "123", "Human", "321", "Ban", staff nicknames, and the like.
Punishment: Rename

3.3. Using third-party software, cheats, scripts, macros, bugs, exploits, item duplication, or any other aspect that grants an advantage over other players is forbidden. Claims about cheats/aim/headshots/bugs and the like are reviewed only with solid video evidence. Proof also includes a hit from a different weapon type landing on the same body/armor part more than 5 times by the same person within a 15-minute window.
Punishment: Warn / Permanent ban [all tribe members may be banned]

3.4. Building in caves with artifacts is allowed, except on Crystal Isles.

3.4.1. Building is prohibited in:

  • x4 (note) drops;

  • character spawn points (player spawns);

  • rare-resource spawn areas;

  • wyvern nests;

  • rock-drake nests;

  • all obelisks on the map;

  • Extinction — all terminals;

  • Ragnarok — the Lava Golem cave;

  • Crystal Isles — the honey cave, caves with artifacts;

  • Genesis — the entrance to the Magmasaur lair; turrets in mission areas are forbidden;

  • Aberration — surface exits, passages between biomes;

  • Genesis 2 — the passage to the Cosmos biome (the 4 bridges), all terminals;

  • Fjordur — all terminals.

Punishment: Warn [rule-breaking structures are removed]

3.5. Spamming the map with lone foundations is forbidden. If such unfinished builds are found, the player/tribe has 2 days to put a proper building on the spot — otherwise the structures are demolished.
Punishment: Warn [rule-breaking structures are removed]

3.6. Using real-money (RMT) currency in dealings with other players (buy/sell/extort) is forbidden.
Punishment: Permanent ban

3.7. Deliberately or indirectly undermining the server's online by systematically raiding underdeveloped tribes is forbidden.
Punishment: Ban 30 days [all tribe members are banned]

3.8. You may spam the area around your main base within reason — roughly 20 foundations from the Turret Tower; for rock platforms, about 10 foundations within a 3-platform radius. A Turret Tower counts as a defensive structure with at least 30 heavy turrets.
Punishment: Warn

3.9. Cluster raid cooldown:

  • The CD starts when the raid ends.

  • The same tribe may be raided simultaneously across the whole cluster.

An 18h cooldown applies if:

  • more than 20 structures near the tribe's main base were destroyed;

  • turrets were deliberately discharged;

  • enemy dinos were killed using a Noglin.

The raid is considered over when there are no structure kills, dino kills, etc. in the attacking tribe's logs for more than 2 hours.

A 36h cooldown applies if:

  • the enemy base was fully demolished.

Note: if you are at war (raiding) with tribe "A", you may not attack another tribe "B" after the CD expires. If another tribe/player shows aggression toward you, the CD is lifted immediately — but only after the aggression is documented (screenshot/video) showing the destruction of 10 of your buildings and the loss of more than 5 dinos near your home. Destroying farm bases, oil rigs, abandoned traps, etc. does not count as a raid.

Punishment: Warn / Ban at the admin's discretion, −30% tribe points

3.9.1. Joining a different tribe during a raid/def is forbidden.
Punishment: Warn, −15% tribe points

3.9.2. During an active cooldown (CD) it is forbidden to place structures/turrets near someone else's base, change the tribe roster, or merge with another tribe.

3.9.3. Renaming your tribe within 72 hours (3 days) before or after a raid is forbidden.
Punishment: Warn, −20% tribe points

3.9.4. Using more than one Titan from Extinction in a raid or def is forbidden; you may take all three to fight bosses.

Punishment: Warn

3.11. During a raid/def you may not stack dinos and TEK Hover Skiffs on more than one side. Building is allowed on ONE side only, without using the SS Large Wall structure.
Punishment: Warn

3.12. Keeping players caged for more than 2 hours is forbidden. Exception: during a raid you may hold them until it ends, after which both sides must release all prisoners.
Punishment: Warn

3.13. Building a base inside textures is forbidden.

3.15. Outsiding another tribe or players is forbidden in any form.

  • Outsiding reports are reviewed with full screenshot/video evidence.

  • The ban applies to everyone involved, including third parties who received the loot, if they refuse to return it.

Note: if a player leaves on their own or is kicked from the tribe, they may take their own dinos (with their personal imprint) — a couple of each kind. A share of the tribe's resources, buildings, and blueprints proportional to the number of tribe members may be taken, plus other items there is proof were personally obtained by that player. All of this must be agreed with the tribe leader.
