Server Rules

How does owning a body work?

• 🌟 Any party that eats from an unclaimed body first officially claims it and becomes the owner. The body that belongs to the party that initiated the hunt, automatically claims it upon death.
• 🌟 Body ownership can change if the current owner is contested off by a new party or if the body is unclaimed via abandonment and a new party claims the leftovers.

What is and isn't allowed?

• 🌟 Can claim 1 BD at once. If a BD is directly overlapping a BD you currently own to the point it is impossible to tell which you're eating from, you may protect both.
• 🌟 Body owners can't let others eat freely from their body (mixpacking) and must defend it from scavengers. Anything else that enters personal space range may be personal spaced followed by it's rules.
• 🌟 Each party member must eat until full or BD despawns.
• 🌟 Chunking a BD is not allowed. This means ripping out meat chunks and not eating them.
• 🌟 AI corpses do not count as body down.

What is a Combat Timer and how does it work?

• 🌟 The combat timer appears when you take damage, like during a hunt. This is shown as a red eye symbol that pops up with a timer at the bottom of your screen.
• 🌟 If the timer drops to 0 and the target is still alive, the hunt is failed and the hunting party can't attack them until next season.
• 🌟 CT doesn't protect you from being attacked, only active combat does. Bleed can extend the timer.

What is and isn't allowed?

• 🌟 Aggro calls alone are not a reason to attack first due to lack of context. They could mean a territory, spar, etc.
• 🌟 Burning player bodies is not allowed.
• 🌟 Body denial, the act of intentionally fighting on risky spots that could cause your BD to fall into an inaccessible location and dying in any way that prevents attackers from freely accessing your body, is not allowed. When you are going to die, get off the risky position on your own.
• 🌟 Meshing, the act of hitting through or hiding your body in rocks, the ground, walls, etc. to unrealistically inflict or avoid damage. Backing up against a wall or any other thing that glitches you or parts of your body inside to avoid taking damage is not allowed. Backing up to a cliff is allowed.
• 🌟 Pushing/clamping others to glitch users out of bounds is not allowed.
• 🌟 Body blocking is a valid hunting strategy that is allowed during active combat only. This does not apply to parties that are not involved in the engagement.
• 🌟 Teleporting (TP), logging, or fleeing into a Home Cave mid fight or when obviously being hunted to escape it is not allowed
• 🌟 Anything that can't dive or not classified as semi-aquatic/aquatic is not allowed to intentionally die in water.
• 🌟 You are allowed to cross water in an attempt to escape a hunt, but you may not use it to bypass the combat timer; this applies to terrestrials and fliers. You can't use water to gain advantage and avoid getting hit which includes standing / swimming in it if it interrupts other players attacks. Shallow water where you can normally run over don't count.

Preemptive Strikes

• 🌟 If someone clearly charges, swipes, latches, clamps or does anything offensive at you, you may strike first; you don't need to wait for them to trigger your combat timer beforehand to preemptively protect yourself.

• 🌟 To start aggro call 3 times from 1 Spino Length away from BD. The contest ends when a participant dies, or one party completely forfeits, only those who are present at the contests can fight, other packmates that weren't there at the beginning can't join after.
• 🌟 To forfeit retreat at least 2 Spino lengths away from the body, the BD owner can't chase over that. Clamping contester(s) beyond that Spino length results in a forfeit of the clamping dino.
• 🌟 Scavenging can’t turn into a contest and vice versa.
• 🌟 Fire Abilities are not allowed during contests.
• 🌟 Only 1 party may contest a body at a time.
• 🌟 If you watch a BD fall, can't contest it for 30 seconds.
• 🌟 Contesting is optional for Herbivores wishing to defend Herbivore only edible items like berry bushes, the species must be able to consume it. For herbivore rules replace "BD/body" with any edible herbivore resource.

Max Group Sizes Per Tier:

• 🌟 Tier 1 → 6
• 🌟 Tier 2 → 4
• 🌟 Tier 3 → 4
• 🌟 Tier 4 → 3
• 🌟 Tier 5–6 → 2
• 🌟 Herbivores have unlimited group sizes but follow a defender limit that's same as the default max group size. Can be increased with Matriarch and Shepherd. They can't tag team.
• 🌟 Dinosaurs from sub adult or higher count towards group size.

Role Multipliers

Some of our roles allow an extension to grouping limitations. This is most beneficial for carnivores, however this allows herbivores to increase their defense limit, allowing more members to fight back when the herd is attacked. Only 1 player with this role is allowed per group. A herd / pack is defined by 2+ members

Matriarch

Shepherd (Herbi only)

• 🌟 T1-2 → Adds +2 additional packmates/defenders
• 🌟 T3-6 → Adds +1 additional packmate/defender
• 🌟 T1 → 15
• 🌟 T2 → 10
• 🌟 T3 → 10
• 🌟 T4 → 7
• 🌟 T5–6 → 5

Matriarch + Shepherd

• 🌟 Shepherd multiplier and +2 or +1 from Matriarch

How does hunting work?

• 🌟 Hunting is allowed for any dinosaur capable of consuming meat when their hunger is at 60% or lower.
• 🌟 Hunting within LOS of another body is not allowed unless it's glitched/inaccessible (e.g. deeply submerged in water, on a cliff where you can't get to it, etc.).
• 🌟 At least one pack member must be the correct hunger to initiate a hunt, doesn't need to start.
• 🌟 The BD belongs to the party that started the hunt, regardless of who died, to ensure fairness.
• 🌟 Every group member needs to eat until full, as soon as it drops, or the body despawns because it's fully eaten, can optionally leave BD after (you may sit to get bleed off first). If you are caught breaking this rule, a 24h ban will be applied.
• 🌟 During a disaster, combat and hunting in shelter/caves is not allowed as long as you stay in that cave, being inside right before it hits and after it hits to heal.
• 🌟 If you are not involved in a fight, you must stay 1-2 Spino lengths away and not get in the way. Can't personal space other ongoing battles, you move away.

Hunt Timer and Failed Hunts

-# Tip! To check your hunger and thirst, use the !info command; the bot will whisper you the stats in Global!

• 🌟 When a target is not killed before the combat timer has ended, or a member of the hunting party dies, the hunt is failed. The target player or group can't be attacked until next season. Only applies to failed hunts.

Definition

• 🌟 Helping an ungrouped dinosaur in any way counts as mixpacking, not allowed.
• 🌟 Grouping with a different species is not allowed.

Examples of Mixpacking

• 🌟 Deinosuchus carrying a Struthiomimus across water.
• 🌟 Hatzegopteryx flying a Pachy across Grand Plains.
• 🌟 Helping waystone users outside your group.
• 🌟 Assisting ungrouped dinos with hunts or quests (this includes giving free trophies).
• 🌟 Helping in combat with buffs, nerfs, or body blocking when not grouped.
• 🌟 If you are simply hanging out with others like little flight tour or get clamped/carried etc. all within consent of both parties, it is allowed. However anything that benefits anyone ungrouped in any shape or form is not allowed.

Exceptions

• 🌟 Two dinosaur mods of the same species may group together, like the PT Rex and the Vanilla Rex.
• 🌟 Symbioting isn't mixpacking.

Punishment for Mix-/Overpacking

• 🌟 After a warning from staff is ignored and not corrected, offenders receive an infraction and a 2h ban from in game.

The creatures that roam the lands of Elys-Astra are not the only dangerous things you have to worry about. Extreme weather events and natural disasters are Mother Nature's way of enforcing the survival of the fittest; heavy droughts, extreme storms, and even terrifying meteor showers are part of her arsenal. Other unexplainable phenomenon, like the ominous Blood Moon and deadly Windfang disease, make navigating Elys-Astra even more tricky. Taking precautions when the signs of imminent disasters rear their heads could truly be the difference between life and death. How will you survive the elements? Important: Combat during disasters that require shelter is not allowed in shelter/caves. This applies the second the first warning drops and users start going into shelter to hide.

Thunderstorm

• 🌟 Spring
• 🌟 Disaster that causes disadvantageous side effects the longer you stay out in the torrential downpour; 3 total waves of stat debuffs.

• 🌟 Survival grants stamina regen (+1).

Whiteout

• 🌟 Winter
• 🌟 Disaster that causes disadvantageous side effects the longer you stay out in the cold; 3 total waves of stat debuffs.

• 🌟 Provides increased stat and causes hyper-aggression.
• 🌟 Stat buffs include combat weight (+2000) and turn radius (?)
• 🌟 Miniboss events follow normal combat rules with the exception of hunger percentage and BD being ignorable and third-partying being allowed.
• 🌟 Minibosses are enraged; they attack anything within reach, even group members, and will not run away from combat. They do not fear death.
• 🌟 Those that survive as the Miniboss get to keep half of their stat buffs (until death, logging, or server restart) and obtain the Repterus Mutatus role.
• 🌟 Miniboss-Killer keeps some of the stats.

How does nesting work?

• 🌟 Any dinosaur can nest either solo or with any gendered partner; you don't need a partner of the opposite sex.
• 🌟 Dinosaurs must be the same species to be allowed to nest together; the PT Rex and Vanilla Rex, for example.

What is and isn't allowed?

• 🌟 Nesting is only allowed in your dinosaur's preferred habitats, but can be placed anywhere within them.
• 🌟 To avoid overpopulation, players may only place and nest once per season with a max of 5 offspring unless that dinosaur's profile says otherwise.
• 🌟 Nest-hopping is not allowed. You must stay for at least 30 minutes, unless both parents agree to let you go earlier. Players are not allowed to waste eggs by accepting nest/egg invites and then not joining.
• 🌟 Nests are not allowed to be bigger than a half-Spino length radius.

Behavior Around Nests

• 🌟 Parents can personal space their nest only with offspring up to sub adult.
• 🌟 Parents may not chase intruders over 1 Spino length from the nest when they flee. They may defend until BD if the attacker does not leave after being warned.

Some Dinosaurs are considered Pests (defined by profile tag) and are prohibited from initiating combat against T6 sauropods. Includes: Any species that are not a T1-2 but have pest restrictions in their profile are considered a pest and must follow both their profile limitations and the T6 sauropod restriction. Mini Dime, Compsognathus and Halzkaraptor may not hunt higher than any T3.

• 🌟 Starting a hunt
• 🌟 Assisting a host that initiates a hunt
• 🌟 Challenging for territory (via certain roles)
• 🌟 Contesting for a body. Sparring and enforcing PS are excluded.
• 🌟 Defensive combat against T6 sauropods is allowed, which includes protecting yourself against a hunt, assisting your host as a symbiote when they're attacked, being challenged for territory (via certain roles), or when contested for a body.
• 🌟 Pests may hunt the young of any tier until they reach sub-adult if either alone or further than 1 Spino-length radius from their adult parent(s). If the parent closes that distance, the pest must stop.

What is scavenging and how does it work?

• 🌟 Scavenging is a method of stealing food from an already claimed resource.
• 🌟 You must "grab and go," take a chunk of meat, berries or trophies , and run away with it.

What is and isn't allowed?

• 🌟 Only Tiers 1 and 2 can scavenge when they can immediately eat it.
• 🌟 The body owner can always defend their body, but they can't chase scavengers over 1 Spino length away.
• 🌟 Scavenging is a risk - scavengers attacked by body owners may not fight back.
• 🌟 If a scavenger is killed while scavenging, other scavengers may continue but risk being killed as well.
• 🌟 Combat Timer does not apply during scavenging. If a group member dies, the body owner may keep defending, while scavengers may still scavenge.

• 🌟 Sparring is optional.
• 🌟 To spar, shake or broadcast call while looking at a player. If they do the same, the spar may start. If they don’t, then they didn’t accept it.
• 🌟 Sparring never ends in death; you are not allowed to kill the player. To signal that you are low, crouch and move your head away.

Personal Space

• 🌟 Personal space is optional.
• 🌟 1 Spino length around you is considered your personal space. If another dinosaur enters it, you may aggressive call at them once. If they don’t leave after 5 seconds, you may attack.
• 🌟 If you are getting attacked for personal space, you may not fight back and must distance yourself to 3+ Spino lengths away.
• 🌟 Those enforcing personal space may not chase further than 3 Spino lengths.
• 🌟 You can't personal space an ongoing hunt, stay away from it.
• 🌟 Personal space calls cannot be voided by attacking in the middle of one. If a call has been started, you are personal spaced the moment it starts.
• 🌟 You cannot personal space if you are being actively charged at or stalked for a hunt.

How does symbiosis work?

• 🌟 Only T1 and T2 are allowed to be Symbiotes, must be same diet and habitat. If double habitat with semi aquatic and flier, it's flier only.
• 🌟 Symbiosis is a method of establishing a mutually beneficial relationship between two unlikely species of different tiers.
• 🌟 Dinosaurs that have 2 habitats such as flier and semi aquatic count as fliers for all grouping requirements.

What can a symbiote do?

• 🌟 Symbiotes may assist in hunts (unless it's a pest, follow pest rules), contests, defending upon getting hunted.
• 🌟 Tiers 2-3 can have 2 Symbiotes, tiers 4-6 can have 1 Symbiote unless stated otherwise in a Role / Profile.

What can a symbiote not do?

• 🌟 Symbiotes can't participate in a territory.
• 🌟 Symbiotes can't nest.
• 🌟 Roles affecting group size must be equipped by the Host for group size to be affected, except where otherwise specified in the Role itself.

When to initiate

• 🌟 Mandatory for carnivores, optional for herbivores when max tier limit per POI is reached and within LOS. Only sub adult or adults count, everything under that can't be territoried.
• 🌟 Can only be initiated against same tier, diet and habitat.

How to initiate

• 🌟 Initiate from 2-Spino lengths away of your opponent and aggro call 3x. If no response, the challengers must attack.
• 🌟 The challenged party requires 3 aggro calls back from at least one group member to accept or leave peacefully by forfeiting, if they chose to forfeit they must leave the POI until next season.
• 🌟 Combat continues until the limit per POI is reached or one party forfeits.

How to forfeit

• 🌟 Forfeit by turning away from your attackers, 4-calling repeatedly and making an immediate effort to leave the POI by closest means.
• 🌟 Forfeiting parties must be given a chance to leave, but may be escorted to the edge of the POI. If they do not leave, the attacks must continue.
• 🌟 Territory ignores body down and takes priority before anything else and is not allowed in active Migration Zones. If a hunt starts in MZ and moves into a non-MZ, the hunt must be completed (or failed) before territory can be initiated.

Max Groupsizes per POI:

• 🌟 T1: 6
• 🌟 T2: 4
• 🌟 T3: 4
• 🌟 T4: 3
• 🌟 T5: 2
• 🌟 T6: 2

What is third-partying?

• 🌟 3P is when players who aren't originally grouped or involved in a fight intervene. This causes gameplay interuptions during any form of engagements, which isn't allowed.

What is and isn't allowed?

• 🌟 You can only join a group during a hunt mid fight to help, if you can and are allowed to group up with that species, group up via in-game system before you join that fight.
• 🌟 If you are not involved in a fight, you must stay 1-2 Spino lengths away and not get in the way.
• 🌟 When a 3P happens, both initial parties must stop combat immediately. If one of them doesn't, it will count as mixpacking for allowing the 3rd partying member(s) to help them in a fight.
• 🌟 If the third-partier(s) does not disengage, they may be killed by the parties originally in combat, and the initial fight can continue if applicable once the 3rd party BD is gone which belongs to the party that initiated the fight. This does not count as a failed hunt and the secondary original party may still be hunted when the BD despawns.

Dinosaurs in Elys-Astra don't just walk around to hunt and eat. They have to take care of themselves through upkeep, which includes cleaning, sleeping, and staying full by hunting their preferred food, which improves longevity and strength over time.

How does upkeep work?

• 🌟 Each species has its own list of preferred foods, way of cleaning itself, and activity period that have corresponding upkeep commands. Following these behaviors unlocks the ability to use these commands.
• 🌟 Upkeep is separated into 3 types: Satiation, Hygiene, and Energy.
• 🌟 These 3 methods of personal maintenance will deplete from 100% to 0% in 20 minutes, with an in-game whisper reminding you when each method's percentage gets low.
• 🌟 The commands will only work once each method reaches 0%, but it is important you do the correct behavior before using the command. If not, it is considered command abuse.

How to use upkeep commands

• 🌟 Upkeep behaviors should always be completed before the command is used; view the command as the reward for doing the behavior.
• 🌟 Sleeping should be 5 uninterrupted minutes of fully laying down. If you are interrupted (combat, disaster, hunger/thirst damage, etc.), you must start the 5 minutes over.

Satiation

• 🌟 Relies on a diet of creatures from your dino's preferred foods. For example, Dilophosaurus has Didelphodon as a critter it prefers to eat, and will hunt it over other critters in order to regain satiation.
• 🌟 Following this behavior allows for the use of the !tasty command.
• 🌟 Maintaining your Satiation will improve your strength and hasten your growth.

Hygiene

• 🌟 Relies on maintaining cleanliness by your dino's preferred way of grooming. For example, Citipati's enjoy dust-bathing to stay clean, and will do so periodically to regain hygiene.
• 🌟 Following this behavior allows for the use of the !clean command.
• 🌟 Maintaining your Hygiene will improve your overall health and health recovery.

Energy

-Maintaining your Energy will improve your overall stamina and stamina recovery.

• 🌟 Relies on resting during your dino's period of inactivity. For example, Kaprosuchus is nocturnal, and will sleep during the day in order to regain energy.
• 🌟 Following this behavior allows for the use of the !sleep command.

We aim for a respectful but relaxed environment. Casual conversation, disagreement, and jokes are allowed.. harassment, slurs, or targeted hostility are not. Repeated false accusations against staff after clarification may result in moderation action. Legitimate concerns should be reported through proper channels. Elys Staff is held to a very high standard. No misconduct from both sides will be tolerated.

Behavioral Violations

NSFW NSFW content of any kind is not allowed in Elys, both in-game and in Discord. These will be handled based on severity, labeled Minor or Major:

• 🌟 No disrespectful behaviour towards anyone.
• 🌟 No spreading misinformation. (if gameplay related - gameplay behaviour infraction)
• 🌟 No advertising servers or other things in any shape or form.
• 🌟 No name-calling /insults
• 🌟 No disruptive arguments or disputes
• 🌟 No spam
• 🌟 No location dropping others, location dropping yourself is fine (gameplay behavioral)
• 🌟 Public discussions of rulebreaks are allowed if it is to positively remind if a rulebreak has happened. Must stop discussion if being told by staff.
• 🌟 Do not “mini-mod” or publicly accuse players of rulebreaking.
• 🌟 Metagaming (gameplay behavioral)
• 🌟 Loop-holing (gameplay behavioral)
• 🌟 Targeting (gameplay behavioral such as intentionally killing more than 3 times, harassing players, griefing, includes no revenge killing.)
• 🌟 No DMing staff members. All things are handled within tickets.
• 🌟 This is a PGe13 server. Any stuff that is not breaking server rules or involved with this server such as private dating issues is not for us to handle. Resolve private issues privately as long as all involved parties are at legal age of 18+.
• 🌟 Punishment: Behavioral infraction (unappealable) + 1-hour mute (if infracted in the moment); severe cases may include a ban.

Minor

-# Indirect/suggestive NSFW content.

• 🌟 Making subtle references or jokes about NSFW content. (i.e. words with double meanings)
• 🌟 Using lesser known slang/terminology or different words to avoid directly saying something NSFW.
• 🌟 Making out of context remarks/comments to imply something suggestive.
• 🌟 Posting/sharing visual content that is suggestive or referencing NSFW content.
• 🌟 Suggestive Discord names, bios, profiles, pfp's, or Path names. (i.e. explicit words spelled differently, references to Epstein/Diddy, etc.)

Major

-# Direct/explicit NSFW content.

• 🌟 Making jokes and references with explicit NSFW content.
• 🌟 Using common slang/terminology or words that are explicit or directly reference NSFW material.
• 🌟 Making explicit remarks/comments about non-NSFW content.
• 🌟 Posting/sharing visual content that is explicitly NSFW.
• 🌟 Explicit Discord names, bios, profiles, pfp's, or Path names. (i.e. nudity in pfp's)

How do NSFW punishments work?

• 🌟 First Minor offenses will result in a verbal warning via ticket. Each future Minor offense will result in a Behavioral infraction and 24 hour in-game and Discord mute.
• 🌟 Major offenses will always result in an immediate in-game perma-mute, then a ticket to warn of an incoming ban, then a serverwide ban.
• 🌟 The only exception to Major offenses is Discord names, bios, profiles, pfp's and in-game names. Linked players will be warned via ticket and given 24 hours to change them or face a perma-ban; unlinked players will receive the ban without warning.

Important

• 🌟 Infraction Tiers ( have x amount of the same infraction before it turns into a behavior) may be skipped to more severe ones at admins discretion.
• 🌟 We reserve the right to ban anyone for anything (even no reason given) if it is for the better of the community.

System Abuse

• 🌟 No abusing roles, commands, or inventory. Violations will lead to a complete inventory wipe including roles / the role that was misused gets removed.
• 🌟 Examples: stacking mutations, using !migrationbuff outside zones, restricted cmds (!tasty, !sleep, !clean) w/out profile permission.

Rulebreaks

• 🌟 Infraction 1 → Warning
• 🌟 Infraction 2 → Warning
• 🌟 Infraction 3 → Ban with appeal
• 🌟 Infraction 4 → Ban without appeal
• 🌟 Death by rulebreak: 1 full-growth item
• 🌟 If you receive 4 infractions for the same rulebreak, the 4th automatically becomes a behavioral infraction. Our appeal system is meant for learning from mistakes, not to be abused for repeated misconduct.
• 🌟 Only thing that is not appealable are perma mute words (unless proven typo /context matters) and severe behaviour violations.

Perma Mute / Ban Words

This is a list of words that will get you auto permanently muted by the bot that will snipe you the second one of these words is detected. Not manually, completely automated. If you make a typo and get muted for it, open up a question ticket to get insight from staff. Permanently mute takes away all the possibility for you to use 90% of the server features such as commands instead of a perma ban. NSFW and slurs will be punished with a ban without appeal.

Eldering has stages, you must use !migrationbuff a certain amount of times to reach each stage/milestone. To begin the process, you must be nested on and grow that species. Dying in between stages will send you back to the last stage you were at; if you were at 10 migrations (halfway to Tier 3) and die, you will be sent to 8 migrations (beginning of Tier 2).

Stages

Tier 1 - Young Elder

• 🌟 4 migrations
• 🌟 +0.25 turn, +0.25 precision turn, +125 health, +350 weight, -0.125 speed

Tier 2 - Inexperienced Elder

• 🌟 8 migrations
• 🌟 No extra buffs

Tier 3 - Experienced Elder

• 🌟 12 migrations
• 🌟 +125 health and -0.035 speed (stacks with stage 1)
• 🌟 Required to have duller skin, eats before others and leads the pack/herd.

Tier 4 - Withering Elder

• 🌟 16 migrations
• 🌟 -0.035 speed (stacks with stage 1 and 3)
• 🌟 Required to be completely gray, begins slowly taking damage until death, pack/herd will stay by its side until it passes away.

Rebirth

• 🌟 Once your dinosaur passes away at 16 migrations, you will receive a Rebirth Token. These tokens can be used to buff your health, damage, or armor.
• 🌟 You can only get 3 rebirths maximum per species, and a token can only spec into a single stat. You can spec into 3 different stats once, or even spec into a single stat 3x. Once a token is redeemed, the stat applied cannot be changed.

Inheritance

When a player is nested as a Baby, there is a chance they inherit special items from their parent based on what the parent has assigned. The parent must meet specific requirements to qualify for each tier. You either receive the inheritance, a genetic, or nothing. Peak Inheritance — 8% chance Normal Inheritance — 10% chance Low Inheritance — 10% chance

• 🌟 Parent must have assigned:
• 🌟 All 6 genetics (one of each type)
• 🌟 1 Limited Role
• 🌟 1 Upgraded Mutation
• 🌟 1 Blessing
• 🌟 Parent must have assigned:
• 🌟 At least 3 different genetics
• 🌟 1 Unlimited Role
• 🌟 1 Mutation
• 🌟 Parent must have assigned:
• 🌟 At least 1 genetic
• 🌟 1 Mutation

How it works

If the roll lands in a tier the parent qualifies for, you receive that inheritance. If the roll misses all qualifying tiers, you have a 50% chance to receive a random genetic as a pity reward, or nothing at all.

Cooldown

There is a 1 hour cooldown after each nest attempt, regardless of outcome, for Parent and Child

How to use

Inheritance items appear in your /inventory. Assign them using /assign open the same way as mutations, genetics, and blessings.

To earn a Golden Egg, a player must complete one of the following "Initiation" paths:

The Elder's Legacy:

Be successfully nested and raised to Full Adult by a player with Matriarch role assigned.

Trial of the Ancient:

-# NOT IMPLEMENTED YET Complete a curated "Mission Chain" (Progressive Quests) that requires traversing high-risk zones or gathering specific resources. Once the task is met, the player is granted a Golden Egg Token.

The Random Spawn:

Redeeming the token allows the player to unlock Eldering on a randomly selected species that you havent unlocked eldering yet on.

Stackability:

Players can earn multiple eggs over time, but must complete the Task (Initiation) each time to maintain server balance and prevent "spamming" random spawns. Max of 3 eggs in inventory.

Resource Sink:

This creates a continuous gameplay loop for end-game players, giving them a reason to keep questing (soon) and nesting others.

How to use Token:

use /golden_egg redeem Donator:

Smaller buffs that are very helpful for survival, slightly modifying your dinosaur's stats by the stat it's written for. Genetics are common, found throughout your journey in this server.

How do I get genetics?

You can get genetics simply by being nested in, or via /shop where they can be purchased with Survival Points (SP), which you gain automatically and passively just by playing!

Types of Genetics

• 🌟 Turn → Improved turn radius
• 🌟 Buff / Nerf Calls → Longer call duration
• 🌟 Jump → Slightly increase your jump height

All mutations have an upgraded version that offers improved buffs. To upgrade a Titan Mutation use /upgrade_titan which has a 40% success rate, consuming a Blessing.

Types of Mutations

There are different type of mutations that you can earn:

• 🌟 Single Traits → One stat buff, for example Armor, obtainable via SP shop or /mutate
• 🌟 Upgraded Single Traits → One improved stat buff, obtainable via /starmut

As seasons change and resources ebb and flow, all creatures heed the instinctual call to follow the wave of Mother Nature's abundance. Herbivores are coaxed by flourishing vegetation and reliable nesting spots, while carnivores capitalize on this migratory behavior for consistent meals. With the changing seasons and passing time, dinos begin to show their age, growing alongside their experiences, struggles, and victories, before eventually falling into place in the circle of life.

What is migration & how does it work?

• 🌟 Migration is the act of following specific locations in order across the map to mimic the natural passing of seasons and resources.
• 🌟 Migration Zones, or MZ's, are selected POIs that make up these specific locations in the migratory cycles.
• 🌟 MZ's offer more resources than other POIs, including prominent nesting locations, increased food sources, and cleaner water.
• 🌟 Land Migration Cycles are followed by land, flier, and semi-aquatic dinos.
• 🌟 Ocean Migration Cycles are followed by semi and full-aquatic dinos.
• 🌟 Migration is mandatory for herbivores in a herd of 3 or more. Once you reach the MZ you have to stay until next season and then move to the next one.

How to file a report

To file a report for a rulebreak that has happened in game, for example, use the Discord command /report, fill it out and send the report in. You must have complete evidence of the incident, ss for chat violations and video evidence for gameplay violations. Mobile and PC users may use Medal and Replay to clip their reports, consoles have gameplay clip feature.

Why do you need video evidence?

Simple, to avoid falsely reporting and infracting innocent users. Screenshots are simply not enough to prove a gameplay rulebreak since they can mean anything and have no clarification on how the situation was. For example, if someone was to report you with either just their word or just a screenshot for an improper contest and it's accepted while that wasn't an improper contest at all, it is extremely unfair towards you. That's why, always have video evidence from beginning until the end of a situation so a proper investigation can take place.

Reporting Staff

Misconduct

If any staff has committed any type of violations of misconduct, they can be reported to via Staff Report tickets. Should you repeatedly target staff and claim staff power abuse without any valid or true reasons, or even made up scenarios, you will be banned for misconduct and harassment. Repeated false exclamations will not be tolerated since they are very offensive.

Trials are places of the gods Rhaegorian and Tolouya who open their doors for worthy players to try and get the chance of getting blessed. Be worthy of your pure heart or get punished by being reborn as a baby for your greed.

Rhaegorian's Trial

His Gondwa shrine is located in Sharptooth Marsh and the Riparia shrine is located in Redwoods.

Tolouya's Trial

Her Gondwa shrine is located in Snake Gully and the Riparia shrine is located in Stonebed Shoal.

How do Trials work?

• 🌟 This is an event like any other which can happen randomly but it is rare. When the announcement pops up, you have 15 minutes to get to one of the trials and prove your loyalty to the gods. Use !bless to try your luck inside the shrines. This command can only be used once per try every time the event activates.
• 🌟 There is a 50/50 chance that you either win one of the rewards or lose for being greedy.
• 🌟 A pity system ensures that after a player is babyfied 5 times, the 6th attempt will guarantee a reward. Upon obtaining the reward, the pity tracker is reset to 0.
• 🌟 Upgraded Titan Mutations and Blessings are not allowed to be gifted or traded.

Rewards

Getting blessed by the shrine can give you the strongest powers in the game. Those contain one of the following per use:

• 🌟 Any Blessing
• 🌟 Titan Mutation
• 🌟 Triple Trait Mutation
• 🌟 Limited Roles (that apply)

Combat Rules

Combat, such as hunting, territory, or personal space, in POI's with shrines is not allowed, but only if the event is actively running.

Proximity Voice

Proximity Voice is a chat feature that allows players actively in-game to hear each other's voices. Using this feature is completely optional and not required. You will only hear other players who are also using the prox-chat and are within a certain distance of you. This feature was designed and created specifically for Elys by Null.

Prox-Chat Rules

All server rules are to still be followed alongside the use of this feature. Violations will result in punishments as usual. Do not use the mic to harass other players or disrupt gameplay. When dealing with unavoidable or uncontrollable loud background noise, you may be asked by staff to enable background noise cancellation to ensure smooth gameplay. Metagaming (sharing outsider information to unrelated parties in-game) will result in a gameplay behavioral infraction and a 1 week mute from prox-chat. Abuse of the report feature, such as false reporting multiple times, or mass reporting for no reason will result in you being blocked from using prox-chat.

• 🌟 Disrespectful behavior/language of any kind and severity will absolutely not be tolerated.
• 🌟 First offenses will result in a warning and 24 hour mute from prox-chat. The next offense will result in a perma-mute from prox-chat.
• 🌟 Severe cases will skip the warning and result in an immediate perma-mute from prox-chat.
• 🌟 Includes but is not limited to making repetitive obnoxious and/or unwelcome noises, yelling/screaming, enabling voice changers or soundboards, and playing music in the background.
• 🌟 If you are advised by staff to turn off background noise and blatantly ignore their request, this will result in a 24 hour mute from prox-chat.
• 🌟 If you are not grouped with someone, do not share sensitive information that they cannot organically find out for themselves. This includes but is not limited to the location of specific players, the health of others, and hunting strategies/plans.
