Value Rules
Updated
This category lists all competing / value-oriented rules.
Alternative Factions Competing
Splitting or transferring value to your alternative faction in an attempt to secure multiple payouts from different factions is strictly prohibited.
- Both factions involved will be deemed ineligible to receive any payout.
This includes but is not limited to:
- Transferring spawners, currency, or items between main and alternative factions
- Coordinating value distribution to artificially boost rankings for multiple factions
- Attempting to claim rewards or benefits for more than one faction through value manipulation
Punishment
- 1st offence
Map Disqualification for both factions.
Payout / Faction Boosting
You are not allowed to boost other factions. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Intentionally allowing another faction to raid your base to increase their faction value
- Trading or giving your value or currencies to another faction for little or no compensation to boost their rank
- Transferring items that contribute to faction value, such as keys, loot boxes, bosses, monthly crates, etc.
- Loaning your value temporarily to another faction in exchange for a share of their payout
- Merging factions solely to combine their values and gain an unfair lead on the faction-top before payout
- If you wish to merge with another faction, you must create a ticket before the merge. For more information, refer to the “Merging Factions / Guidelines” section.
- Example: Vortex gives value to Beep to help Beep reach faction top #2.
Punishment
- 1st offence
Map Disqualification + Merged Advantages taken.
Sharing Value
You are not allowed to share value with others at any point in time. This includes sharing money, spawners, or items with another player without a legitimate transaction or price. Such actions may be considered faction boosting depending on the circumstances.
Punishment

7 Day Ban + 1 Faction Strike + Spawners/Balance/Value Removed.
Hiding Value Rules
Hiding Value
Celestial Realm only- You are allowed to Hide Value. There are no imposed restrictions added. For any other clarifications, you can create a Support Ticket in our Discord Server.
Hiding Value with Alternate Accounts
Galactic Realm only- Using alternate accounts (otherwise known as an ALT) to store value is prohibited.
- For context, an alternate account is any account that belongs to a player but is not their main account.
- In most scenarios, alternate accounts are typically on the same IP address as the owning player.
- To prevent any false allegations, players with other family members who connect or play on the server must clarify this in a support ticket before they store value within their vaults.
- The administration team will not assume that accounts on the same IP address belong to separate individuals.
Hiding value on an alternate account will typically be punished under these regulations if:
- A substantial quantity of spawners is located in one or more of the account’s vaults (/pv) or inventory.
- Any spawners are located in underground vaults or other potential storage locations.
Punishment
- 1st offence
Removal of Value + Faction Warning.
- 2nd offence
Administration Discretion (based on the severity)

Orbit Realm only- Hiding value is strictly prohibited throughout the TNT phase. All spawners must be placed within the faction’s shield region before the grace period ends.
