Server Rules

Who can hunt and when?

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 is either an unclaimed Tier 1 body or glitched/inaccessible (e.g. deeply submerged in water, on a cliff where you can't get to it).

At least one pack member must be the correct hunger to initiate a hunt. That member doesn't need to start the hunt.

Once a body drops during a hunt, it belongs to the party that started the hunt, regardless of who died, to ensure fairness.

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.

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

Hunt Timer and Failed Hunts

A hunt is considered failed when a target is not killed before the combat timer has ended, or a member of the hunting party dies. The target player or group can't be attacked for 30 minutes once the combat timer expires.

If a hunt is successful, the 30min cooldown does not apply; it only applies to failed hunts.

Revenge Killing and Pack Hunting

Revenge killing or swapping to another dinosaur to harass a player/party in game is not allowed.

When you kill another player, you will receive a whisper telling you the name of the person you have killed.

When you get killed by a solo player, you will receive a whisper telling you the name of the player and their hunger percentage.

When killed by a pack, you will receive a whisper of the person that killed you, their hunger percentage, the name of the person with the lowest hunger in the group, along with their hunger.

Hunting Hunger

Keep in mind, if you get killed by a pack, another party member may have been the correct hunger, even if it shows an incorrect hunger of the one that had killed you, because only one group member needs to have 60% or less hunger to hunt.

What's allowed when you have a BD claimed?

The owner of a body can be either the one who killed the target, successfully contested and won, or just found it abandoned.

Body owners must defend their body from scavengers. They can not let them eat/scavenge freely from it; this is counted as mixpacking. No aggro call is needed to attack scavengers that attempt to scavenge within the range of 1 Spino length around the BD.

Players can choose to stay with their BD if they wish, until they get contested off it or it despawns. However, if the BD is left unattended (e.g. owner leaves to get a drink), it can be claimed by another party and must be contested for.

What is not allowed?

Hunting within LoS of a BD is not allowed. Be careful of your surroundings if multiple packs are hunting at the same time because once a body drops, other fights within LoS must stop immediately.

Chunking a BD is not allowed. This means ripping out meat chunks and not eating them, which makes the body despawn faster.

Glitched or inaccessible bodies may be ignored.

AI corpses do not count as body down unless it’s an argent body.

Tier 1 Bodies

Tier 1 bodies are excluded from BD rules only when unclaimed.

If a Tier 1 body drops during a contest or hunt (as either the intended target or a hunting party casualty), regular rules apply.

If there is a claimed Tier 1 body within LoS, it cannot be ignored.

When To Contest

For herbivores, replace "body" with edible resource.

Only T2+ bodies count as BD; T1 bodies can be ignored.

You can't contest what you can't hunt. If you are considered a Pest, for example, you cannot contest what you are excluded from hunting.

Only 1 dinosaur/pack may contest at a time.

To contest for a body, approach 1 Spino length away from the owner and aggro call 3x.

Combat can start sooner if the owner aggro calls back during your 3 calls.

The contest ends when the body owner or a contestant dies, or if one of the involved parties fully forfeits.

When you see a body drop, you must wait 30 seconds before initiating a contest. This also applies when you see that another party has successfully contested a body. This is explained in the Combat And Timer rules.

After a failed contest, that party may not be contested again for 30 minutes. This is not the same as failed hunt timer.

Forfeiting A Contest

When a contestant moves more than 2 Spino lengths away from the body, they auto forfeit and may not rejoin the fight.

The body owner(s) may only chase off contestants up to 2 Spino lengths away from the body.

What Is a Combat Timer?

The combat timer appears when you take damage, like during a hunt.

If the timer drops to 0 and the target is still alive, the hunt is considered a failure and the hunting party may not attack that player/group again for 30 minutes.

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

Attempted strikes or lunges count as that party initiating a hunt regardless if the attack lands. If someone clearly intends to fight but misses, it counts as starting combat.

What doesn't count/isn't allowed in combat?

Aggro calls alone are not a reason to attack first due to lack of context. They could mean a territory, spar, etc.

Tag-teaming, the act of switching out group members during active combat, is not allowed.

Meshing, the act of hitting through or hiding your body in rocks, the ground, walls, etc. to unrealistically inflict or avoid damage is not allowed.

Do not push/clamp to glitch users out of bounds. Body blocking, however, is a valid hunting strategy that players can do during combat. This does not apply to parties that are not involved in the combat.

Teleporting (TP), logging, or fleeing into a Home Cave mid fight or when obviously being hunted is not allowed. Players are not allowed to utilize these methods to escape being hunted.

Anything that can't dive or not classified as semi-aquatic/aquatic is not allowed to intentionally die in water. Being dragged or pushed inside water and then dying does not count as intentional.

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.

• 🌟 Tip! Keep an eye on your stamina during combat! If you are not confident that you can cross water without risking drowning, try to find another escape route!

Quick Bullet Points

3rd party is not allowed.

You may join a group mid fight to help, if you can and are allowed to group up with that species, but it is important that you 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.

Using buff/debuff calls when not grouped counts as 3rd Party.

Quick Bullet Points

Spawn killing is allowed as long as hunting or territory requirements are met. However, killing on sight (KoS) just because a player spawned is forbidden.

Remember, it is your responsibility as the player to log out safely.

Definition

- Helping an ungrouped dinosaur in any way counts as mixpacking.
- Grouping with a different species is not allowed, however there are some profiles that allow mixpacking behaviors. Make sure to read your dinosaur's profile.

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.

Exceptions

- Two dinosaur mods of the same species may group together, like the PT Rex and the Vanilla Rex.
- Not everything is considered mixpacking; there are symbiotic relationships where different tiered dinos are allowed to group together.

Punishment for Mix-/Overpacking

After the warning from staff is ignored and not corrected, face a 2h ban from in game.

Tip! Make sure to read the Symbiosis section for detailed explanations and information!

Who can nest?

- 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 allowed/not allowed during nesting?

- Nesting is only allowed in your dinosaur's preferred habitats, but can be placed anywhere within them.
- Only fully grown dinosaurs can nest. Players are not allowed to place down nests or get eggs when the parent is not an adult; this should not be possible anyways from in-game mechanics.
- 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.
- Spamming group, nesting, or egg invites is not allowed. Players that do this can be muted and egg invites from said players may be blocked for you.

How do I defend my nest?

- Destroying player nests is not allowed.
- As parents, players are allowed to defend within a 1 Spino length radius from their placed nest. They may not attack unprovoked and must aggro call at least 1 time to warn away intruders. This behavior follows the same guidelines for Personal Space.
- 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.

What is Scavenging?

Scavenging is a "grab and go" method of stealing food from an already claimed resource. This does not mean that scavengers can just walk up to a body and eat from it; they have to run up, take a chunk of meat or berries (maybe a trophy if the thief is feeling brave), and run away with them.
Only Tier 1 and Tier 2 can scavenge.
You must be hunting hunger to scavenge.
When in a group, if one member is at 60% hunger and another is at 70%, the one at 70% cannot participate in scavenging.
If you can't eat it, you can't scavenge it (trophies excluded).

Scavenging Combat

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.

Grab & Go

Tiers 1-2 may scavenge but must immediately run away with the food.
Once their hunger reaches 60% or more while stealing, scavengers must stop.

Spring

Season of renewal and growth.
As vegetation breaks through the remnants of winter, creatures turn their focus on recovering from the jaws of the cold by reclaiming previous resources and territory. Securing a mate and producing a bloodline take the highest priority. Males turn vibrant with color as they search for mates to form families with.
─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─
Rutting & Dominance
Rivalries intensify in fertile POI's; displays, intimidation, sparring, and territory contests are common.
Males only spar other brightly colored males for mates; females may compete or select.
Sparring does not end in death (follow Sparring rules).

Summer

Season of abundance and thirst.
Everyone begins to feel the claws of the searing heat; competition falls away to self-perseverance. Animals huddle around waterholes and under the canopy of trees, hoping to quench their thirst and fend off the scorch, while predators save their remaining energy to stalk exhausted and resting prey.
─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─
Keeping Cool
The heat quickly drains stamina, so rest under shade or relax in or near water sources to keep from overheating.
Water Guarding
Resource guarding a water source is forbidden in the Migration Zone.
Groups of 3+ may guard small ponds that have a water percentage of 25% or less in an effort to save it for themselves.
Solo Tier 4-6 semi-aquatics may guard large lakes that have a water percentage of 25% or less.
Tiers 1–3 cannot guard water regardless of water value.

Autumn

Season of preparation and apprehension.
As the heat retracts its claws, another threat looms in the gradually dropping temperatures; the time to tighten down the hatches is now. Carnivores are testy, using their impatience to swiftly fill ravenous bellies. Those that faced previous hardships struggle to fully ready themselves for what's around the corner.
─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ · ─ ─ · ─ · ─
Desperate Measures
Carnivores must stay with their bodies until the food value drops to 50% or lower, thirst drops to 25% or lower, the body despawns, or they get contested off of it.
Hunting
Allowed at 80% hunger or less.

Winter

Season of scarcity and endurance.
The harsh cold sinks its fangs into every creature, blanketing the world in a frigid stillness. Every step, every breath, costs them energy they can't afford. Tense carnivores capitalize on weakened prey and rivals to quell their starvation as herbivores tirelessly protect any delicacies they can uncover from the frost.

Food Guarding & Dominance
Herbivores may guard !tasty foods if rivals are present.
Dominant groupmates eat first and may defend food.
Disputes resolved by intimidation displays or sparring, never in death.
Hunting
Allowed at 40% hunger or less.

Sparring

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 to enforce.
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.

How does symbiosis work?

Tiers 2-3 may have 2 Symbiotes.
Tiers 4-6 may have 1 Symbiotes.
To recruit a symbiote, the protector/host simply invites them. These symbiotes are considered unbonded.
Unbonded symbiotes cannot help in fights/hunts/territory and cannot use buff/nerf calls.
To obtain a bonded symbiote, the host must approach a suitable symbiote with food to officially bond with them. This can happen after grouping up.
Bonded symbiotes may assist fully in all combat except territory.

Initiating Territory

Can not hunt the target when territory is required, max limit per POI is met. Territory must be done over hunting. May not turn into a hunt.
Initiate from 2-Spino lengths of your opponent. If they can hit you with a non-AoE attack without moving, you are too close. Once at the appropriate distance, aggro call 3 times.
Opponents must respond with an aggro call to accept. If they don't, it counts as an automatic forfeit and they must leave the POI. They cannot return for 30 minutes or risk getting KOS'd by the party that challenged them.
Combat continues until the limit per POI is reached or one party forfeits.
You may forfeit a territory even if you initially accept the challenge.
Territory ignores body down until the maximum population of the tier is restored.
Territory is optional for carnivores while the POI is still within its population limit, but mandatory once the POI max is exceeded. Territory is completely optional for herbivores. Once the limit is reached, territories, not hunts, must be initiated.

Forfeiting Territory

To forfeit, turn away and flee while giving repeated alert calls.
If you walk or fly away without returning to combat within 10 seconds, it will count as auto forfeit and you must leave or risk getting KOS'd as long as they stay in the POI they got challenged away from.
The challenger must let the forfeiting dinosaur leave and cannot continue attacking them. They may, however, follow them to make sure that they leave the POI. If they don’t leave and keep roaming in it, they may continue to be attacked.

Migration Zones

Territory is still enforced in MZ's, but the group size limit per tier is doubled.
Territory in MZ below max limit per POI is not allowed unlike other zones.
When a party forfeits from a territory in an MZ, they must stay out of LOS of the party that challenged them.
Due to some MZ's being smaller than others, the forfeiting party has one chance to stay out of LOS after initially forfeiting. If they re-enter LOS a second time, they can be KOS'd by the challenging party.
Attention! This doesn't mean that you can group up to these amounts, they are only the threshold for when territory must be initiated.

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.

Hygiene

Your satiation, comfort, and hygiene slowly decay over time; they have no affect on your stats or behavior.
View them with the !info command.

Once they reach 0, you unlock the !tasty, !sleep, and !clean commands, which you may only use if you do the task that's required in your dinosaur profile.
For example, some dinosaurs require shaking or rolling in mud to clean themselves.

If you do not do the task associated with the command, this is considered command abuse and leads to punishment.

You can only get 3 rebirths maximum per species, and a rebirth token can only spec into a single stat. You can spec into 3 different stats once, or even spec into a single stat 3x.

How to 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

Speed - Faster movement speed
Turn - Improved turn radius
Buff / Nerf Calls - Longer call duration
Jump - Slightly increase your jump height
Survival - For faster bleed/venom heal
Oxygen - Increase the time you can stay underwater

How to apply

To apply a genetic, use /assign and select your dinosaur species. You can have 1 mutation and 1 of each genetic type equipped to a dino at a time.

How to get

To earn your powers, you can either roll for them using /mutate which will require DNA to alter your dinosaur's stats. For even stronger mutations, Stardust can be used instead using /starmut. To upgrade an owned triple-trait mutation, you can do /upgrade which will consume 500 Stardust for a 50% chance to upgrade your mutation. 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
Double Traits - Two stat buffs, for example Weight x Stamina, obtainable via SP shop or /starmut
Upgraded Double Traits - Two improved stat buffs, obtainable via /starmut

• 🌟 Tip: To see your dinosaur's stats use !stats in Local in game!

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.

Migration Zone Behavior

The max population for each tier is doubled in migration zones (e.g. Tiers 5-6 doubles from 2 to 4, Tier 4 doubles from 3 to 6, etc.).
Territory rules still apply in MZ's; carnivores must territory each other when the max capacity of each tier is exceeded.
When a party forfeits from a territory in an MZ, they must stay out of LOS of the party that challenged them.
Due to some MZ's being smaller than others, the forfeiting party has one chance to stay out of LOS after initially forfeiting. If they re-enter LOS a second time, they can be KOS'd by the challenging party.

Trials

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
