Server Settings Guide
We stripped out the grind and kept the thrill.
Here’s everything that makes this server tick 🔥
Our Philosophy
A server built to cut the tedious grind and chase pure adrenaline!!
We ruthlessly strip away the busywork of farming and every unfair mechanic. What’s left is what actually matters—gunfights, base building, and the rush of exploration.
On top of that, we’ve loaded the server with combat MOD content! Raids, assault events, and more heart-pounding battles drop one after another. Even veteran survivors who trust their aim will find plenty to sink their teeth into.
Map Wipe 🗺️
The map resets once a month. A fresh map, a clean slate, and a brand-new base build from scratch—it’s this server’s big monthly festival.
Wipe every 1st Friday morning
Every month on the first Friday morning we switch to a fresh map. Blueprints do NOT carry over—everyone starts dead even, from zero, on a level playing field! Make the most of the current map before the next wipe rolls in 🔥
World Settings ⚙️
This is how the world runs around here. Take a look at our settings—tuned all-in for comfort.
No player-vs-player combat. Settle in and play at your own pace.
Not too big, not too small—just the right size for fun exploration.
Even the big monuments are all here. Loot to your heart’s content.
Double the materials for the same effort. Farming feels way less like a chore.
No night. Say goodbye to stumbling around in pitch black.
Sped up from the usual 5s to 1s. No more standing around waiting on recycling.
Fit any vehicle with a key lock or code lock. Nobody’s making off with your ride.
Any structure you own (TC authorized) can be demolished whenever you like.
Unlock wait slashed from 15 to 5 minutes. No loitering by the crate—keep looting and moving.
After downing a Bradley APC or Patrol Heli, the loot wait drops from 10 to 3 min. Shorter burn time means you loot sooner.
Bradley APC respawn time cut short. It’s back in 20 minutes, so you can take it on again and again.
Spawn cycle shortened—it arrives every 20 minutes. Sometimes multiple Cargo Ships show up at once.
Fire cooldown cut from 10 to 3 min. Raining rockets down on Raidable Bases is an absolute blast.
The server auto-restarts every day at 4 AM—maintenance time to keep things running smooth.
Item Drops on Death 💀
Get killed and you won’t lose everything. Know what drops and what stays with you.
Items in your standard backpack drop right where you fall. Head back and grab them.
The contents of your carry-on expanded backpack drop too. It lands as a single bag, so you can pick it back up.
Anything beyond those two stays put. With your gear surviving, death stings a whole lot less.
Build Limits 🏗️
There’s a cap on base building—a rule to keep the server running light. Want more? VIP can raise it!
(part count)
(TC)
Raise your building cap with VIP! Want to build a bigger base? VIP bumps up your build limit. Go all out and build the fortress you’ve been dreaming of.
Vehicle Prices Slashed 🚁
Even the choppers that rule the skies are marked way down. Grab a ride early and make travel and combat a whole lot easier!
Minicopter
Scrap Heli
Attack Heli
Other vehicles are on sale too! It’s not just the choppers—plenty of other rides are marked down. Check the shop for whatever catches your eye.
Expanded Item Stacks 📦
We’ve boosted how much fits in a single slot. Tidier inventory, tidier storage, and way easier hauling.
Wood, stone, metal—resources you gather in bulk stack ×5. Material runs just got a whole lot smoother.
The majority of items stack ×3. Haul components and consumables around in bulk, no problem.
Weapons and armor stay at the standard ×1. We keep this one as-is for balance.
Respawn Time 🛏️
Get back in the fight fast. Bed and sleeping bag cooldowns are set nice and short.
Respawn Cooldown
Handy Features 🧰
Here are the server’s signature quality-of-life features that make survival smoother. Master them and crank up your efficiency!
Expanded Backpack
On top of your normal inventory, you get a carry-on 48-slot inventory. Click the bag icon to the right of your inventory to open the expanded backpack and stash up to 48 items inside.
This backpack drops along with your other items when you die, but once dropped it lands as a single bag—just track it down and grab it back. A lifesaver for hauling big loads or stashing materials on the go.
Item Sort
Tidy up the items in a chest with a single click. Use the N and C buttons on the chest screen to switch sort modes. Each click cycles to the next method.
- Chests (storage boxes, etc.)
- Expanded Backpack
- Inventory (on-hand)
- Standard Backpack
Demolish Structures Anytime
On this server, you can demolish any structure inside a TC-registered base whenever you want. Walls and floors placed with the building plan come right back down with a right-click while holding the Hammer. Deployables like furnaces and campfires can be retrieved by picking them up (deployables that normally can’t be picked up, such as large furnaces, can’t be removed). Reworking your layout is totally hassle-free.
Building parts left at the twig (grass) grade can occasionally become indestructible due to a MOD bug. If that happens, here’s how to fix it:
- Upgrade the stuck twig part to wood or stone
- Wait for the 4 AM real-time maintenance restart
- After 4 AM, the part can be demolished again
* This comes down to a MOD bug. Don’t overthink it—just chalk it up to “that’s how it is.”
Hammer Repair Range Toggle
Normally, repairing a structure means fixing each piece one by one with the Hammer. But switch to “Whole” and a single hammer swing repairs the entire building at once.
You can flip between “Whole” mode and “Normal” mode anytime. Even a base left in ruins after a raid gets patched up in one go.
To use it, open the /m Quick Menu and select “Hammer Repair Range Toggle (Whole / Normal).”
🔥 Stress-Free—Pure Thrill, Zero Hassle!
We cut out all the busywork. The rest is on you—shoot, build, and explore to your heart’s content.
