Building Rules

Here you can find Building Rules for Ark: Survival Evolved

Strict Enforcement: Tribes that violate our building rules risk being completely wiped from the map. Please ensure that your tribe complies with the following rules to avoid penalties.

Base Limit: Each tribe is allowed a maximum of 2 bases per map. This includes one main base and one outpost. An outpost can be a raft, a tree- or cliff-platform, or a 7x7x4 base. Please respect this limit to ensure a fair distribution of land and resources.

No Resource/Beaver Dam/Beacon Blocking: Blocking access to resources, beaver dams, or beacons is strictly forbidden. All players should have equal opportunity to gather resources and utilize game features.

No Construction Site Reservation (Structure Spam): It is prohibited to reserve construction sites by placing structures without progressing the build. This rule prevents unnecessary clutter and allows all players to utilize available building areas.

Obelisk Accessibility: The obelisks must remain unobstructed and accessible by foot. They should not be built upon or blocked in any way. This ensures fair access for all players to important game features.

Respect Other Bases: When building your base, maintain a respectful distance from other players' bases. There is ample space on the map for everyone, so please give each other room to expand and enjoy the game.

No Extremely Long Waterpipes: Building extremely long waterpipes is not allowed. Instead, consider using N+ intakes that can deliver water anywhere or utilize water tanks. This prevents excessive visual clutter and maintains server performance.

No Building in Dragon Gorge/Dragon Cave: Building in or around the dragon gorge or dragon cave, up to the maximum render distance, is strictly forbidden. Respect the natural environment and preserve the integrity of these areas.

No Waterway Blocking: It is not allowed to block waterways with structures. This ensures that all players can navigate freely and use waterways for transportation and resource gathering.

Accessible and Visible Utility Structures: Explorer nodes, charge nodes, Z-plants, gas collectors, and oil pumps must be usable, reachable by foot, and visible to all players. Do not obstruct or hide these important utility structures.

Please adhere to these building rules to promote a fair and enjoyable experience for all players on the server. Failure to comply may result in penalties, including the removal of structures or other appropriate actions.
