Rules of Conduct

🏷️ Grid Naming

Name all your grids like: FactionTag.Purpose

⛏️ Voxel Building

Planets

Building is permitted on planet Aquaras only. The planet will not be reset unless it causes server performance issues. Do not drill tunnels through the planet — this benefits no one and you can do it offline.

Asteroids

🚀 Respawn Ships

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

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

🚫 Block Limits

Stay within the posted build limits. View the full Limits page →

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

🏢 ICP / UpsideDown Stations

Do not build inside any ICP or UpsideDown station interiors. You will not be given permission — please do not ask.

💬 Social Rules & Etiquette

• 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 to dispute. 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.

⚔️ PvP/PvE & Combat Rules

• Fair combat only. All PvP must follow the rules. No griefing, harassment, or abusive tactics.
• No block-bombing or block-spamming. You may not spam blocks or use discarded grids to damage or interfere with others. Ramming is allowed.
• Avoid laggy ships in PvP. Keep 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 WeaponCore targeting is allowed.

🔧 Build & Performance Rules

• Performance-friendly builds only. No block spam, excessive particles, or grid abuse that reduces server sim-speed.
• Follow the Build Performance Guide.
• Grav Drives, Mass Drives, and Klang Drives are strictly forbidden.
• No exploits, hacks, glitching, or third-party tools/apps.
• You must report exploits or broken mechanics.

📦 Grid Loss Policy

• Use !grids list to 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 when you accidentally delete your base or expensive warship.
• Without using the freebie, only grids lost due to server-side issues or crashes qualify. Abusing this will result in a ban from grid recovery.

📢 Advertising & Promotions

• No advertising other servers.
• Don't promote other SE servers. You can discuss them normally but not to encourage players to leave.
• ✅ You may share private Discords for factions or groups playing on UD, in faction-ads or looking-for-mate channels.

⚖️ Rule Enforcement & Disputes

• Rules are subject to change. We will always announce this. Not knowing the rules is never an accepted reason for breaking them.
• Use tickets for disputes. Don't argue bans or rules in global chat. Use the ticket system to appeal.
• Be honest in tickets. Reporting honestly will most likely result in no punishment or warning. We're not out to get you.
