## Alfheim Unwarded Base Rule

If you find a base that is unwarded you need to raise a ticket in #❕support with the co-ordinates (and a picture of the location with an easily identified location visible), you will receive a reward per report on a first come first served basis (i.e. if two people report the same base the person who reported it first will receive the reward). A base will be considered unwarded if any large portion is deliberately left unprotected.

A moderator will then check the base to find out whose base it is and make a report in the unwarded-report channel giving the base owner / builder 48 hours to protect their base or move any valuables. Staff will ward the area for those 48 hours so you may need to contact us to arrange to have access to your items and set your own wards or move things. You will be required to refund the ward items used for this protection period.

After 48 hours a member of staff will visit the base again and, if it is still not protected, let people know that the area is abandoned and free for people to take over.

If no one wants the items or building(s), staff will remove everything from the server.

There will be a three strike rule for people who continue to have a base that was not protected covered by this 48 hour notification period, after the third time we will no longer contact you to remind you to ward your area and will just wipe the area ourselves and you will no longer have a 48 hour grace period on your builds for the rest of the season, this means any future build reported as unprotected will be removed by staff.

Anyone who raids a base before it has been announced as abandoned will be **banned from the server**, with no exceptions.

A base includes a farm or a building with crafting stations and beds.

## Forbidden biomes and restricted building areas

Void / Space (unless you own a void island)

Deep North

1. Absolutely no building around spawn area, server buildings / areas, or in forbidden zones, any builds in forbidden areas may be deleted without warning.
2. You must follow the building rules regards instance counts based on biome rules (see below)
3. Remove old structures / bases that are no longer in use to avoid lag.
4. No building within 100m of each other. If anyone builds within that distance of another player, the newer of the two buildings will be removed at the admins discretion.
	* `For reference, 100m is the distance of 100 stone slabs, 50 double-width stone walls, or 3 work bench radius's.`
5. You may not use build exploits to circumvent game mechanics. Including but not limited to entering crypts with no key and Boss AI exploits.

**We ask you demolish old bases you no longer use to avoid excessive lag.**

## Biome Specific Building Rules

### Void Islands

* No limits (but try and be sensible, if your fps drops really low why would you want to live there?) **You have a maximum of 10 wards, 15 for Patreon. Please ensure you ward important structures or storage, and remember they need to be active to work.**
