WELCOME TO THE ISLAND!

I’ll provide our mod list in a moment, but right now I want to start out by saying this isn’t your momma’s island. Through a painstaking process of trial and error we’ve rebuilt the spawn environment of the default Island map. This not only includes rebuilding the vanilla spawns, to now also include Aberration versions of vanilla creatures, but also included adding in the special DLC creatures to areas of the Island where it might be appropriate to find them. That said, we’ve had to disable the “Nameless” due to an overpopulating bug but their venom can be crafted for Rock Drake taming purposes.

A FEW RULES TO NOTE

Our server exists for the enjoyment of casual players. To that end we do not allow the killing or griefing of players and their bases, unless that player/base is involved in Tribal Warfare with your Tribe.

We welcome everyone, so we want all players to find a home. Thus we do not allow anyone to claim land that they don’t intend to develop. This means you may not run around the map placing pillars in order to claim landscape that isn’t being used for a base. If you want to create a large walled area for your dino “parking lot”, that’s fine as long as it’s a reasonable size.

Everyone is entitled to resources, so you may not remove any large resource spawns by building on or around them. Each tribe (or solo player) is also limited to claiming only 1 Oil and 1 Gas resource. If several players have their own Oil and Gas resources, and they decide to form a tribe, they must respect this limit and give up ownership of the additional Oil/Gas locations. You may not use “Alliances” to circumvent this rule.

MOD LIST

The following mods have been painstakingly selected to not only aid in bringing the DLC environment to TheIsland, but also to give a better sense of balance and enjoyment to the game. Below I will provide the mod name, it’s ID#, and the reason we decided to add it. This list is not guaranteed to be 100% up to date, as we occasionally add or remove mods as needed should they become outdated or we find something more balanced.

Please note, we have also increased the number of engram points players receive per level (and at major intervals) to balance out the added engram points needed to unlock mod-related items. This does not mean players can unlock ALL engrams, so continue to be cautious as to what you spend your points on.
