  • There is no tolerance for abusive behavior, harassment, and discrimination.

  • We are committed to the inclusivity and safety of our community.

  • We avoid using abusive, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory language.

  • We do not put down or insult other people’s passions and fun.

  • We avoid using offensive topics as a form of humor.

  • We do not tolerate using our Discord as a soapbox to air inciteful political or personal commentary.

BREEDING BOMBS

Dino Storage will disable breeding projects after 48 hours of inactivity. While this virtually eliminates breeding bombs, outliers are still possible.

We expect our community to handle its breeding projects responsibly. Uncontrolled breeding leads to massive local desync and crashing. Our Support Team will issue a warning and manually put away all dinos found in a bomb on the first instance. Repeat offenses are handled on a case-by-case basis. 

 

Please use Dino Storage to ball up dinos and the soul terminal to automate your breeding projects.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

*SUPPORTER PERK

 

It’s a fact that IRL always comes first, and Ark may need to take a backseat. If you need time away from the cluster, submit a support ticket!

 

We will pull saves from the servers you play on and add them to our permanent “deep storage” archive at your request. When you return, we spin the saves on our recovery servers, allowing you to recover your progress!

​Our rules are simple - don't be a dick.


Outlined below are some basic codes of decency that our community follows. View this as a living document, and get in touch with us via a ticket with questions.

RULES & CONDUCT

DISCORD GUIDELINES

1. Respect others in voice, text, and in-game chat

Avoid talking over others, and refrain from “sucking the air out of the room” with topics intended to shock. E.g., deliberately inciteful political or personal commentary and mouth-breathing. You will be kicked, then banned, for repeated abuse.

2. Bullying isn't "joking"

Humor at the expense of others not participating in the joke isn’t humor – it’s bullying. We will not tolerate hateful or abusive behavior toward other players for any reason. Friends can tease; strangers cannot.

3. NSFW content is off-limits

Keep in mind this is primarily a community for adults - swearing and dark humor are allowed. At no point should anything that can be considered NSFW be posted. This includes lewd depictions of anime characters, as such material is easily questioned.

4. Keep discussions in the relevant channels

Use discretion when a conversation wanders to something off-topic and move it to an appropriate channel. For an in-depth discussion, consider using DMs.

5. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by a misunderstanding

Misinterpretation is easy online, especially in an environment that spans cultures, time zones, playstyles, and personalities. Almost all disputes can be attributed to simple mistakes and carelessness. Be kind to one another and lean on our ticket system when you need help.

6. Submit support tickets by typing ?new in #i-need-help

Our support tickets cover unusual situations in the game world, such as getting stuck in the mesh, dying to a game bug, or resolving disputes. Not sure how to ask for help? Drop us a line in the help room, and we’ll direct you from there!

7. Do not post personally identifiable information

Please only share images that you feel comfortable having out on the internet. As a public discord, anything you post can be viewed by strangers. Be responsible - selfies and photos of your pets are fine! Our admins have experienced stalking and will not tolerate it. If you experience this harassment, please DM @Zuka directly for immediate action.

8. Set your Discord nickname

Please change your discord nicknames to the format of PlayerName (TribeName) so that we know who's who. For example, if your primary character is named Zukes, and your main tribe is Audax, your server nickname should be Zukes (Audax). To do this, right-click our server icon and select "Change Nickname."

SERVER GUIDELINES

1. No griefing

"Griefing" constitutes the following but is not limited to:
• Intercepting supply drops and Shiny sightings
• Interfering with tames, OSDs, and Element Veins
• Kiting/dropping wild dinos into someone's base/dinos

2. Tribes are allowed to have two bases per server

Dino, skiff, and raft bases do not count against the limit.

We enforce this through the base claim channels (e.g., #ragnarok-bases). All claims MUST follow the format pinned to these channels to be valid. Temporary bases must be claimed in the same fashion as permanent bases.

3. Claims are based on render range

Your claim gives you priority over structures within the maximum render* distance from the GPS coordinates you post. You are free to ally or allow people to build closer or to tell them to move. Building a structure without claiming the spot leaves it open to admin wiping without notice.

* "Maximum render" is defined as the in-game distance when the "View Distance" setting is on Ultra.

4. Catalyzer Outposts are limited to 3x3x3

Your tribe may have a claimed catalyzer outpost on maps with element water in addition to your two bases. They can be no larger than a 3x3x3 vacuum cube grid (6x6 ceiling tiles) – any larger, and it's considered a base. If you own Aberration, please build your catalyzer there.

5. Do not build within render without permission

Our rule of thumb is that you are too close if you can see a base's core structure. If you can see the perimeter wall – but not the main base structure – you should be courteous and ask if you can build. Be mindful that bases grow with time, so space can quickly become an issue.

6. The "Rag Rule"

We sometimes host two copies of a map based on demand. You are allowed to build on ONE of them so that the community may enjoy an uncluttered map. Tribes found to be violating this rule will be given a chance to choose a base to keep – the other will be deleted. Players are welcome to travel freely across the two maps for farming and other activities.

7. No pillar, foundation, or gate spam.

Offending structures will be wiped upon discovery. Repeat offenders will be warned, then banned. Report suspected spam using a ticket.

8. Create a tribe for yourself, even if you play solo

This makes it much easier for the admins and other players to identify your lost dinos!

9. Keep it clean

Empty your beaver dams and supply drops; eat unwanted trench eggs; clear taming pens; remove dino leashes at OSDs.

This includes taming pens and temporary structures that aren’t part of your core base. Keep unnecessary clutter to a minimum to help us maximize player-useable space and keep server loads balanced.

10. Do not block resources, caves, and bottlenecks.

Building near a resource does not make it "yours." Despawning small amounts of critical resources (crystal, metal, obsidian) is inevitable when building. You must move if you are despawning five or more nodes in a prime farming location.

You must keep all gas and oil pumps unlocked for other players to use.

You must keep your perimeter gates unlocked.

11. When you log out, or go AFK, place your inventory into storage and lay in a bed

Even though we have mesh detection, rejection, and killing disabled, Ark will still randomly kill your toon when you’re away. It’s rare, but we do not offer recovery of items lost while offline (except for patrons). Any storage box will do.

12. Do not place shields over public teleporters

If an unallied player teleports to a shielded teleporter, they can get flung through the world mesh and deleted. Players dying in this manner are difficult to recover! Our support team will remove any shield generators placed over public teleporters reported to us.

Keep in mind, the range of a public teleporter can be changed by anyone! This is not configurable server-side, so it is wise to store your personal dinos outside the maximum range of your teleporter pads.
